HRV, SPO2, Skin temperature API inquiry

[pedro.rodrigues]

Hi,

Is it possible to get the HRV, SPO2 and Skin temperature data from the Fitbit Sense using the Fitbit API?

Thanks in advance.

HI @pedro.rodrigues - Happy you found us here! HRV, SpO2, skin temp and more are now available in the Fitbit app under Health Metrics with a Premium subscription. You can read more about it here.

Hi @SunsetRunner!

Thank you for your answer. However, regardless the Fitbit app with a Premium subscription, do you know if is it possible to export these data to third party apps by calling the Fitbit Web API (e.g. https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/heart-rate/#heart-rate-time-series).

Many thanks.

Afraid I don’t know the answer to that, @pedro.rodrigues

@pedro.rodrigues no, they are not available. The question has been raised multiple times in the SDK Development section of this community forum and the answers have been either negative or vague.

My opinion is that it is unlikely Fitbit will release such API otherwise it would have little leverage to have people moving to the Premium membership. Yeah, I know, very disappointing

@Giampi71 Fitbit could consider giving the API to the developers but make the apps using it require a premium subscription. Just one of the options if Fitbit wouldn't want to cut its own profit. However, I agree with you that it's very unlikely such a thing is going to happen.
