Can I write data to Fitbit?

[Diodes123]

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to "write" steps to fitbit. Is this possible? Or can I just read step data.

@Diodes123 Sure, if you want to log an activity that has steps (e.g. Walk or Run).

@AndrewFitbit That's nice, but this logs a Walk activity, not the steps walk during the day. Is there a way to do that?

Additionaly, is there a way to provide more info when logging a sleep (https://dev.fitbit.com/docs/sleep/#log-sleep) ?

I'm writing an app to import data from my MS Band to Fitbit, and I'd like to able to log things like awake count, minutes awake / asleep etc.

For instance, here are all properties that I'm able to match:

{"date", "2017-02-20"},
{"startTime", "22:41"},
{"duration", "34175000"},
{"efficiency", "79"},
{"awakeCount", "9"},
{"minutesAsleep", "443"},
{"minutesAwake", "126"},
{"minutesToFallAsleep", "13"},

@dr1rrb Logging an activity with steps would be the only way to add steps, so I guess the answer would be no.

The only POST parameters you can send for sleep are startTime, duration, and date if you're manually logging. The rest of these are tracked by a Fitbit device.
