Hi
I've been using the FatSecret API for couple of months and everything was OK (an error here and there - but that's all). suddenly I get timestamp error all the time and all of the users of my mobile app cannot connect to the service. I suspect that one user with an un-adjusted clock caused a problem to all of the users.  Is it possible to reset the timestamp on the server until I'll find a better technical solution to the timestamp problem?
Best Regards,
Anat

Hi Anat,

Running oauth requests from within a mobile application is not
recommended. We advise that the requests be made from a single
centralized server to ensure sequential timestamp and to protect the
key / secret.

Unfortunately it is not possible to "reset" the timestamp on the
server. The problem will persist until the timestamps are sent in
sequential order by at which stage it will resolve itself once the
timestamps are greater than the last successful request.
