Hello,
Is there a way to get vitals (hear rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation) more frequently than the 15 minute update using the web API? Can we directly communicate with a linux python script and an app on the fitbit to achieve continuous data reading, directly using the SDK and not the web API?
Thank you

Somewhat. You can get heart rate from the watch, but not directly. The clockface or app running on the watch can pass it to its companion component within the Fitbit app on your phone, which can then use fetch() or WebSockets to send it to a server. It's difficult, but possible.
