Clockface: Access incoming calories from Fitbit App

[Grizzi]

Hello Dev Community,

I just started to create my own clock face and now I‘m searching for a possibility to read the calories in (which the user can enter in the Fitbit App) within a clockface. I did not find something related in the Device and Companion API.

Do you have any idea?

Best regards,

Grizzi

You want the User-Activity API.

Thanks Jon,

I already use 

today.adjusted.calories

to display the burned calories. I want to also display the incoming calories that can be tracked in the Fitbit App.

Do you mean calories from food? You would need to use the Web API to query https://dev.fitbit.com/reference/web-api/food-logging/#get-food-logs

Thanks Jon,

I will give it a try.

Can the watch make web API requests, or does the request have to be made by a companion app?

The request always needs to go via the Companion.
