Fitbit SDK Integration

[Saadullah1234]

Hello all,

I am trying to integrate my Fitbit device with my own app and up till now I was able to pull the Fitbit data from the Fitbit server via API. I was wondering if there is a way I can pull the data in real-time directly from the device via SDK? Is there a SDK that Fitbit provides through which we can directly connect to the device itself, rather than pulling the data from the Fitbit Servers?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

You can't communicate directly with the device via bluetooth, but you can build an app for smartwatch devices that relays data in real-time. You'd need your own web server to relay the data though, but this can run on the mobile device if required. https://dev.fitbit.com/build/guides/communications/

I already have a mobile application with our own server that pulls sleep, heart-rate and step count data from Fitbit Server via Fitbit API's. Is it the same solution that you are recommending or you have different solution? I am a bit confused.

Also, I was looking for something where we wouldn't have to pull the Client ID and Client Secret for OAuth 2.0. 

Is there any way around it?

Thanks
