Custom app data posted/retrieved from web app

[mattsfrey]

Hello,

Sorry if this has been answered - couldn't find anything specifically addressing my question though.

Basically I'd like to build an app with it's own custom data entered through the UI.

Is it possible to message custom app data from the fitbit ionic to the companion app which is then posted to an external web api to be persisted, and for the user to edit this data in the external web app and have it retrieved by the ionic->companion->external web api on load?

Thanks,

Matt F

Yes. Device-to-companion messaging is bidirectional. I think you'll have to use fetch() from the companion API to handle the stuff to/from web API.
