How to get GPS data in Fitbit device via the Web API

I need to use Fitbit for my research study. Right now, I have a Fitbit Inspire 2, to fetch running activity data using the Fitbit Web API but there's no GPS in the running activity data, is that a common thing for all Fitbit devices? Would I get GPS data in the running activity if I change to a GPS device? There's also no endpoint for running, I'm wondering if there are other ways to get running data except through the activities endpoint.

You can get GPS data (if your device supports it) from a .TCX file, which you can download from the Fitbit web site.

 

Fitbit OS devices (which don't include Inspire) would also let you get GPS data via the Device API.
