Hi Fetch, any updates on the API? I'm using it for uploads again at the moment (using a Suunto watch and using Python to upload runs to here and Training Peaks); wondering if there is any chance of editing things like equipment and maybe even custom fields? Also, being able to pull the exact time of a workout would be really good for deciding what to upload and what's already there; hour is usually good enough, but parkrun mornings often turn into a run and a bike within the same hour.

Flanker, did you get anywhere with FIT files?

not looked at it yet. Got sidetracked with learning Swift!

still sidetracked, but dreaming ups interesting ideas with the mapping/geolocation stuff on iDevices...

Now if fetchpoint was exposed via the API (or maybe by a scrape? hmmm...) then I can envisage a great app for bug busting / coin gathering / etc.

right, finally starting to play with this, but struggling at the first step as I've no idea how to authenticate against the API as I'm not a PHP guy.

From what I can make out from the example I need to POST through a base64 encoded combination of user +":"+secret ?

At the moment I'm getting the response:
NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x7fdb08c180f0 { URL: api.fetcheveryone.com } { status code: 200, headers {

"Cache-Control" = "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0";

Connection = "Keep-Alive";

"Content-Length" = 0;

"Content-Type" = "text/html; charset=utf-8";

Date = "Tue, 02 Jun 2015 16:15:46 GMT";

Expires = "Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT";

"Keep-Alive" = "timeout=5, max=100";

Pragma = "no-cache";

Server = "Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny10 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0";

"Set-Cookie" = "PHPSESSID=0e9013b6e140ca3f6b71d6d4c7cbc74a; path=/";

"X-Powered-By" = "PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny10";
} }

which I assume means I've not authorised anything. I'm getting no data or error back.

I'm not a PHP guy either, but I got it going with Python.

Your content-length should be 51, so that's not right.
content-type should be application/json
Did you have 'Accept': "application/json" in the headers as well as the authorization bit?

Scratch that, what you get is what I see if I send garbage as the base64 encoded users=":"+secret. I was confused by the 200 status code.

Have you used hex instead of text for the user and secret values?

Thanks.

Yes, had the accept header, or at least I think I did! Assuming how I'm passing the header pairs is correct. Expect that my encoding is the issue, as I'm not too sure right now what I'm trying to do there or (yet) how the pre-built Swift API works - I've just been following a pattern so far, but will dig into it later tonight.

Grrrr. Typo. Missed out the trailing space on "Basic "

Getting somewhere now. Although I'm having to work out the request/response protocols by trial and error from looking at the HTTP responses and data. I'm sure it's widely documented on t'web, but by the time I've worked out the PHP I can have worked it out by looking at the raw data!

All working on iOS (other than upload, which I can't be bothered to code unless I can find some useful purpose for it. strava to Fetch synch?)

One question - I'm sometimes getting a FAIL response with an invalid access token. I' assuming this is the access token expiring? If so, does anyone know what its TTL is?

60 seconds I believe; I was refreshing after 55 and have had no problems with very lengthy sessions.

I've made tools for multiple uploads of Suunto sml files and tcx files to FE, and a few people have used the tcx uploader to get old data into new FE accounts.

I started playing with strava to FE sync and can't remember why I abandoned that; probably having to deal with yet another file format for the route from strava (which they helpfully describe as a polyline in the documentation).
