You will need to do this yourself using an application process that connects to FitBit and downloads the information using timeseries settings. You can find this information through the dev portal in the API browser. Whilst it uses oauth1, it works exactly the same for oauth2 (they're just different authentication protocols/frameworks).

 

The process is:

  1. Authorize the application
  2. Download the devices
  3. Download the profile data you want using timeseries

All responses are JSON and some will be large, so may take several seconds to download and process.
