About the sdk or direct access to fitbit watch integration for android/IOS

Hi, Any one give me the info about is fitbit has sdk for android/IOS to get the heart rate and calories from fitbit watch without any api and the sync in app.

 

If above is not possible then how we create the app for fitbit and get the heart rate and calories from that app to cloud.

 

Or is any Blue Tooth oriented possibilities available from fitbit dev?

 

Your answers are really helpful to us, Thanks.

You need to use the fitbit messaging api or file transfer api to get info to the IOS/Android phone (it's received in the companion code).

 

Then use the Websocket API,

to push data to the cloud as you say, you will need a websocket server to offload your data.

The community is pretty small, so I haven't had luck with finding video guides.

 

In my experience the easiest things to do is the actual Fitbit application.

I recommend making a few test applications to get comfortable with the API & JavaScript if you are new. Read up on the fibit API a lot, specifically APP - Companion interaction.

 

After you are comfortable with it more, start with the File Transfer blank project and see if you can successfully send small chunks of BPM (or other data) across to the companion application.

This is your base requirement for offloading data to your WSS server.

 

The larger hurdle is creating your own WSS web server, this is where I personally decided to stop going down rabbit holes with my project's development.

 

It can be done, and people have done it. Here's a few helpful forums.
