   @sefyas This is a problem on Fitbit's side. You can prove this to yourself by using a program like Postman to make the API request directly for a date where the values don't match the dashboard, then compare the daily summary to the sum of the intraday values. Fitbit admits (somewhere on their forums a few years ago) the following conditions can cause a disparity between intraday values and daily summaries:

   • User didn't sync for more than 7 days
   • User's battery got too low
   • User's timezone changed
   • Firmware update occurred

   In my experience, even a user with a charged battery that sync everyday and doesn't change timezones or update firmware can still experience this problem.

   I wonder if there has been any update on this issue?

   I'm unable to retrieve any intraday heartrate values, using the following code:
   (Based on the great Medium tutorial by Stephen Hsu at https://towardsdatascience.com/collect-your-own-fitbit-data-with-python-ff145fa10873)

   import fitbit
   import gather_keys_oauth2 as Oauth2
   import pandas as pd 
   import datetime
   CLIENT_ID = '***'
   CLIENT_SECRET = '***'
   
   server = Oauth2.OAuth2Server(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET)
   server.browser_authorize()
   ACCESS_TOKEN = str(server.fitbit.client.session.token['access_token'])
   REFRESH_TOKEN = str(server.fitbit.client.session.token['refresh_token'])
   auth2_client = fitbit.Fitbit(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, oauth2=True, access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN, refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN)
   

   [Browser-based authorization]

   yesterday = str((datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)).strftime("%Y%m%d"))
   yesterday2 = str((datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)).strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))
   today = str(datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d"))
   
   fit_statsHR = auth2_client.intraday_time_series('activities/heart', base_date=yesterday2, detail_level='1sec')
   

   fit_statsHR contains only an 'activities-heart-rate' key. 'activities-heart-intraday' seems to be missing.

   The complete contents of fit_statsHR are as follows:

   In [44]: fit_statsHR
   Out[44]:
   {'activities-heart': [{'dateTime': '2018-10-29',
      'value': {'customHeartRateZones': [],
       'heartRateZones': [{'caloriesOut': 1316.40702,
         'max': 96,
         'min': 30,
         'minutes': 911,
         'name': 'Out of Range'},
        {'caloriesOut': 393.42948,
         'max': 135,
         'min': 96,
         'minutes': 60,
         'name': 'Fat Burn'},
        {'caloriesOut': 0,
         'max': 164,
         'min': 135,
         'minutes': 0,
         'name': 'Cardio'},
        {'caloriesOut': 0, 'max': 220, 'min': 164, 'minutes': 0, 'name': 'Peak'}],
       'restingHeartRate': 51}}]}
   

   Setting 'base_date = "today" ' yields the same result.

   At the moment, I'm testing with iPython, in a Python 3 Miniconda+Windows 10 environment.

   Thanks a lot in advance for any help and/or commiseration!
