Data Export limitations

[Nebulus]

I'm a bit confused with the Fitbit statement ' You own your data'

Fitbit doesn't give a tool to export all data, but only a very limited subset, which gives no possibility to analyse, for instance, sleep phase percentages over a period, or heart rate details.

So if we own our data, how can we extract it ?

You extract it through data export. True we don't see everything. Would probably require API work on your end to see more.

A bit what I feared, will have to find out if someone developed something already (if anyone has a hint on an existing third party service, would be nice), or do it myself.

PS : Fitbit should at least provide an advanced report extract for Premium subscriber 😉

There's an API forum on this site. I would definitely check there to see if someone's conquered this already.

The sleep stages model is very new, so I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't been done yet.

Also, I use a free service through Squash League, which gives me more granular data on heart rate.
