Is there any event that would notify changes in water data?

 

In case not, what would be the recommended approach to keep the info fresh without exceeding the WebAPI rate limit?

There are subscriptions, which can be used with the web API. https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/subscriptions/

 

These won't work if you're doing this in the companion API though. The rate limit is 150 requests per user per hour, so you shouldn't hit those.

Yeah @JonFitbit, it is not what I need. I was wondering if there are javascript events in the companion layer, for a clock face I am developing. Having an intermediate server would be an overkill anyways.  Thanks though!
