This is the API that replaced the old Fitbit Web API, so if you are migrating an existing integration, this error shows up constantly during the switch. Here is exactly what Google&#8217;s own documentation says about it, and how to stop it happening again.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaf2fb; border-left: 6px solid #0b3d6e; border-radius: 6px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 22px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #0b3d6e;\">Quick answer<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.6; color: #222222;\">A 401 from the Google Health API with the message &#8220;Request had invalid authentication credentials&#8221; almost always means <code style=\"background-color: #dbe7f4; padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 4px;\">INVALID_AUTHENTICATOR: Token expired<\/code>, meaning your OAuth 2 access token has expired.

In plain terms, the request reached Google fine, but the access token attached to it is no longer valid.

Google&#8217;s documentation is explicit that Google Health API apps only support Google&#8217;s own OAuth2 client libraries, and it is not possible for old Fitbit access and refresh tokens to be carried over and work on the new API. Every user has to complete the Google OAuth 2.0 flow at least once, even if they were already authorized under the old Fitbit system.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"prevent-it\" style=\"color: #0b3d6e; font-size: 28px; margin-top: 38px;\">How to stop it recurring in production<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.8; color: #222222; padding-left: 22px;\">\n<li>Build automatic token refresh into your app so a near expired access token is renewed before it is used, not after it fails<\/li>\n<li>Handle the refresh token expiry case gracefully with a clear re-login prompt, rather than a silent failure<\/li>\n<li>Remember that refresh token lifespan is shorter while your OAuth consent screen&#8217;s publishing status is set to Testing, so this error will appear more often during development than in production<\/li>\n<li>Move your app from Testing to In production once OAuth verification is complete, which also removes the 100 test user cap<\/li>\n<li>Monitor API error rates in Google Cloud console so a spike in 401s is caught early rather than reported by users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.7; color: #222222;\">For the full credential setup walkthrough, including how to configure scopes and OAuth consent screens, see <a style=\"color: #0b3d6e;\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/health\/setup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google&#8217;s Set up Google Cloud and OAuth guide<\/a>.

It means the user completed authorization successfully, but the account behind it is still a legacy Fitbit account rather than a converted Google Account. The fix is to have the user convert their Fitbit account into a Google Account, then restart the authorization flow.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-size: 22px; margin-top: 26px;\">404 Not Found<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.7; color: #222222;\">A 404 on an endpoint like <code style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 4px;\">\/v4\/users\/me\/dataTypes\/{dataType}\/dataPoints<\/code> usually means the wrong HTTP verb or a typo in the endpoint path, not an authentication problem at all.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\" style=\"color: #0b3d6e; font-size: 28px; margin-top: 38px;\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f3e9; border-left: 6px solid #b8860b; border-radius: 6px; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 16px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; color: #b8860b;\">Is a 401 error a sign my app is broken?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.6; color: #222222;\">Not necessarily.
