When we are customizing, we are trying to  created different App using Fitbit API,

Do we get data directly from Watch or data will move to FitBit app and from that app we have to take required  data ??

 

should we have to install fitbit app compulsory for getting data from API ?

Hi @acharyamanjil 

 

The source of the data depends on the API that you use.   The Device SDK will pull the raw data directly off the watch.   The Web API will expose the data from all Fitbit devices after the user syncs with the mobile app.   Data through the Web API will have run through our algorithms.
