Fitbit Data Tracking

Hello!

 

I'm very new to Fitbit and I'm currently doing some Research and Development for FitBit SDK to integrate on our Mobile App (Both iOS and Android) which is developed in (Outsystems - A low-code platform for Mobile and Web development). 

 

Basically, we need to track the data from Fitbit to our Mobile App. I have seen that we can use WebSocket API, but just wondering if there's a way to directly sync the data to our app through client side? For example, with our developed app installed on my phone and as well as I have a fitbit watch and fitbit app installed on my phone, Is it possible for our app to be able to get the data from the fitbit app directly?

No, we don't currently expose any data directly from the mobile app, or device.

 

If you don't need realtime data, then I'd recommend using our Web API, but if you do need realtime, then WebSockets/Fetch in the companion is the only option.
