Sending raw data from sensors to a server

Hi, I'm new in developing smartwatch apps and I have a few questions I need to answer to see if Fitbit is a good fit for me.

Can I access the wifi module of the watches that have it natively, that is, through my app, can i use it?

Also, can i get raw data from the heart sensor and more sensors through my app?

Best regards and thanks for your help!

You can't access WiFi. An app on the watch can only send data directly to the Fitbit app using Bluetooth. From there, you can use fetch() or WebSocket to get it out of the Fitbit environment.

Available sensor data is described here.

It is only possible to develop for superseded Fitbit OS watches at the moment.
