Integreting Fitbit API in Android

Hello good people.

I'm new here.

My Goal: Develop an Android application that will collect users' Fitbit data and through setting up a goal/the app itself suggest the user he should take more steps to fit or do more exercises to keep him/herself fit.

 

My Question: Is there such availability for getting all Fitbit data from Fitbit apps and thus do the kinds of stuff that I want? If so, what could be the possible link/documentation to follow? As a beginner, suggest me where should I start and what steps to follow.

This is a VERY difficult project for a beginner.

 

If you're happy to use data that's been synced from the watch, use the web API. The data can be stale.

 

If you want more up-to-date data, that's harder again. You'll need to use companion API functions to send data to a server component (presumably in your Android app).

Hey are you planning to make a FOSS client? Because that would be great!

Yeah, so far planned. But I have only 2 months for that. I'm confused about my approach.

Hey Gondwana,

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your help. 

So, no implementation for android developers, huh?

(Feeling broken)

 

Thanks,

Saif

Not sure what you mean. You can definitely implement the required server functions in Android.
