Can I Use the Fitbit Web API in a Website Portal/Application

[mlammert]

I am a bit confused on some of the verbiage used within the Web API documentation. It seems to focus on "apps." When I read "app," I think of a phone app for iOS or Android.

I am not wanting to create an "app" for a phone or device. Instead, I am wanting to create a dashboard on a website where my users can login and then interact with data from my web application that uses/cross-references with their personal Fitbit data.

Is this something I can accomplish with the Fitbit Web API?

Thank you!

Hi @mlammert

An "app" can be anything that is going to consume the Fitbit data (i.e. mobile app, java app, web app, dashboard, etc).  Your application needs the ability to execute the Web API calls to request consent and query the data.
