Hi everyone! I am a kinesiology grad student hoping to use Fitbit HR data for my thesis study. I am new to the programming world and was wondering if anyone already created an app or API that I could use to export raw HR data? Ideally in a cvs or excel file.
I might be asking the wrong question here as well- so any advice would be great.
Thank you !!!!

The easiest way to get this would be via the Web API, rather than via the SDK. That said, getting the most detailed data isn't trivial; see here.

would you be able to explain the web api a little more?
Thanks,

There are some web sites and apps that can do this for you (see previously-linked thread), but that may not be flexible enough for your purpose.

That first thread has 30 pages; probably all known options are in there somewhere.
Off the top of my head, I know of:
