Get Subscription List

Retrieves a list of subscriptions created by your application for a specific user. You can either fetch subscriptions for a specific collection or the entire list of subscriptions for the user. For best practice, make sure that your application maintains this list on your side and uses this endpoint only to periodically ensure data consistency. See Getting a List of Subscriptions for more information.

Scope: See collection-path URI Argument

Request

GET /1/user/[user-id]/[collection-path]/apiSubscriptions.json

URI Arguments
user-id required The encoded ID of the user. Use "-" (dash) for current logged-in user.
collection-path optional Collection of data to retrieve notifications. If not provided, a subscription will be deleted for all collections.

Supported: activities | body | foods | sleep | userRevokedAccess

The user must consent to the proper OAuth 2.0 scope before a subscription can be created for the collection. The list of requirements are:

  • activities collection requires activity scope.
  • body collection requires weight scope.
  • foods collection requires nutrition scope.
  • sleep collection requires sleep scope.
  • userRevokedAccess collection does not require any scopes.
  • If no collection specified, activity, nutrition, profile, settings, sleep, weight scopes are required.

This could result in your application receiving an unexpected 429 response if you don't track the total number of requests you make yourself.
