What steps have you tried to retrieve data from the API? Are you following the instructions from the Lifelog Authorization page?

https://developer.sony.com/develop/services/lifelog-api/authentication/

Some quick things you can do are:

  1. Be sure that there are no spaces in your client id
  2. Try creating a new client id and secret to be sure that there is nothing wrong with your current credentials
  3. Try using Postman as a quick way to verify that there is not something else causing the issue. For instance something network related. Here is a link to a quick explanation on how to get going: Lifelog API Explorer: Authorization request could not be completed

  • This is the Error we are getting when we are trying to get the access token from ANDROID application.... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34591928/javax-net-ssl-sslpeerunverifiedexception-no-peer-certificate-error-in-lifelogapi – fitusermysore Jan 04 '16 at 13:43
  • If you are creating an android app the problem may be with your use of HttpClient. It looks like Google has removed support for this call in Android 6.0. You can see the full answer at the link you provided – pg316 Feb 23 '16 at 08:04

the LifeLog API is a RESTful API, meaning, you can, in theory, access it from anywhere as long as you can create HTTP requests. The authentication used is standard Oauth2 which also is defacto used by most APIs like Google, Facebook, Twitter etc.

Other than that, there are a couple of Android libraries available which can make your life a lot easier, wrapping the HTTP requests into simple Java objects and methods.
