When I request ActivityStreams for an activity and specify series_type=time it DOES return a time series… the time stream is monotonically increasing and the distance stream is not uniform. HOWEVER for every stream returned it’s labeled as “distance”. I’ve had to patch my code to deal with this as I always check series_type to make sure I’m getting appropriate data for the processing I do. Thoughts?
Do you have a github or somewhere else that someone monitors?
They had removed the series_type parameter a month ago and it was deleted from the API documentation for even longer. See also the newer posts on:
Annoyingly they never announced or confirmed this.
OK… so did a little more testing this morning… changed the order of keys in my call (swapped out distance and time and other items) just to make sure… and swapped out series_type = time or distance… and got the same response each time.
So no matter what you put in series_type you get back time series data… but inside the results series_type always says distance? Is that what everyone else is seeing? I think I was able to discern that from you link above. In the end this doesn’t affect me I guess… just have to do a lot more checking before I can trust the data they provide. I guess I know what question I’m asking at their developer conference.
Is this community the only mechanism for logging bugs with their development teams?
