To try these examples, you need to obtain an OAuth token first. Then you can submit
the example requests without having to build an application by either:

Then you can submit\nthe example requests without having to build an application by either:\n\n- Using the [OAuth Playground](https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/) from your browser.\n- Using [curl](http://curl.haxx.se/) from the command line.\n\nSubmit requests with the OAuth Playground\n-----------------------------------------\n\nThis process is described in [Getting Started](/fit/rest/v1/get-started). The examples\nindicate the HTTP method to use and provide the request body.\n\nSubmit requests with curl\n-------------------------\n\nPrerequisites:\n\n- Install [curl](http://curl.haxx.se) if it is not installed on your machine.\n- Obtain an OAuth token as described in [Getting Started](/fit/rest/v1/get-started).\n\nFore more information about OAuth tokens and authorization, see\n[Authorizing Requests](/fit/rest/v1/authorization).\n\nTo run each of the examples:\n\n1. Copy and paste the request body from the example into a plain text file.\n2. Copy the `curl` command from the example and paste it into a terminal window.\n3. Edit the command to replace the OAuth token value and the name of the file that contains the request body.\n4. Run the resulting command on the terminal.\n\n`curl` sends the HTTP request with the authorization header and shows the response on the terminal."]]
