Extracting the Number of Steps

[XunOnline]

     Hi all, I'm a relatively new programmer and I saw that the Fitbit seemed like something easy to work with, having its API and using Python. So I wanted to develop a simple app that would need to extract the number of steps taken from a Fitbit Zip. Do I need to go through the process of registering an application for this? If not, how can I do it?

Your application must be registered at https://dev.fitbit.com , as you'll need a client id/key to use the Fitbit API.
