Get_report broken? (JSONDecodeError)

[guidoderam]

I tried calling get_report in a couple of different ways but all of them resulted in a JSONDecodeError.

I looked at the relevant code and compared it to the API calls made on https://www.myfitnesspal.com/reports:

MFP reports page: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/api/services/reports/results/nutrition/fat/30?report_name=fat
Python-myfitnesspal get_report: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/reports/results/fat/30.json

Is get_report calling an old API? It takes 2 dates where the MFP reports page only uses a number of days from today. And the urls look different, but maybe there is some python/library magic going on (no Python expert!)?

Hi @guidoderam, you're right, it looks like the URL has changed and so has the response format. However, the number of date arguments has not changed - it looks like we use only the lower_bound argument in the API call, then drop anything out of bounds before returning.

I'm still seeing this issue

# try:
#     response = client.get_report("Net Calories", "Nutrition", end_date, start_date)
#     print(f"Raw response: {response}")  # Print raw response
# except Exception as e:
#     print(f"Error: {e}")

Date	Monday       Tuesday      Wednesday    Thursday     Friday       Saturday     Sunday
