Hi all, I'm new to the Fitbit.
So my friend and I are planning on conducting an independent research on fitbit data.
Our goal is to make an phone app that does the following steps in loop:
1. Extract data from users for research purpose (daily).
2. Conduct statistical (or equivalent) analysis on the data.
3. Reflect back the result to the app.
The problem lies on the 1st step currently. We would want to extract the data from each user automatically, not by clicking and downloading every time.
I found the Python package and code that does this, but it seems to be a web-scraping procedure, which has security issues, since we wouldn't try to attempt to get ID and password from each user due to personal security issue.
So again, the question would be: is there an API, package, or programming (code) that does automatic extraction of data, in a non-webscraping way?
Thank you very much in advance. Happy new year!

@RushHour did you get the solution? I want to do something similar.
