Hello @Portsample 

This help page (<-- click) has the instructions on how to export your Fitbit data.

From the posts that I've read, the exported data isn't in csv format. I think I've seen that people have been able to convert it to a csv format.

You are absolutely correct! I have seen those posts as well. I think
that many (if not all) of those posts were written when Park and
Friedman still owned the Fitbit company. Previously I'd done as you
suggested and downloaded the archive. I was able to identify heart rate
data in the downloaded data, however I found it to be embedded in an
.xml file. While it is possible to write a Python script to parse out
this data and then reformat it as csv, I was hoping that Google would
simplify the process and allow downloading heart rate directly in csv
format. My apologies if my question was poorly worded. Thank you for
your response.
