Just spent a couple of hours trying to use the fitbit python API following a towardsdatascience (https://towardsdatascience.com/collect-your-own-fitbit-data-with-python-ff145fa10873) article but kept getting the following error:

Eventually, I came across the following comment in the issues on github: https://github.com/orcasgit/python-fitbit/issues/142#issuecomment-476053642
So you need to make sure you set up your conda environment properly and install the correct version of requests-oauthlib & oauthlib, and install the python-fitbit API through pip.
Like this:
conda create --no-default-packages --name fitbit_api_test python=2.7 conda install -n fitbit_api_test python=2.7 oauthlib=2.1.0 sphinx coverage python-dateutil pip cherrypy pandas datetime ipython conda activate fitbit_api_test pip install fitbit pip install requests-oauthlib==1.1.0 pip install oauthlib==2.1.0
Copy the “gather_keys_oauth2.py” file from the fitbit repository (here: https://github.com/orcasgit/python-fitbit) to you PyCharm solution and you should be good to go.
Then create a new PyCharm project pointing at the newly created conda environment.
