Everything Wrong With The Withings API

Top Six Things You Need To Know About The Withings API*

*where “you” is probably a developer, or at least a strange user

I should preface this by saying that I got a Withings Smart Body Analyzer for Christmas last year and I’ve been generally happy with it. It purports to be able to take my heart rate through my bare feet and that seems not to work for my physiology, but overall I’m a fan. If if their Wikipedia page is to be believed they are having a pretty rad impact on making the Quantified Self movement more for normal people and they only have 20 full time employees. Also they try hard to use SI units, which I can get behind. Anyway, on to the rant.

I originally called this post “Everything wrong with the Withings API” and I meant it. For every useful field I can extract from their “award winning” app, I have spent an hour screaming at the inconsistencies in their implementation or inexplicable holes in their data

What I learned from reading PRs and issues on 'What is Code?' repo

Programmers likes to fix things. When there is a typo in your code, then your code won't work. There are many requests to fix typo in the article from inconstant numbering in footnotes to wrong filename for images. When spotting someone's mistake, get creative and title your PR like "Instagram is only worth 1 Instragram not 2 Instragrams". Programmer's attention to detail extends not only the article itself, but also the license doc in the repo.

Don't forget to fact check before spotting mistake though. It's important. Keyword to use is AFAIK and can confirm.

Programmers love to know the source of information. There are few requests to add hyperlinks to contents referenced in the article. Some are from original autho
