FitBit Sense 2 EDA sensor api

[MohFayaz]

Hi, 

I wanted to collect real time stress data from fitbit sense 2 connected to students during an exam.  How can I do this?    

I would probably have about 40 - 60 students.  

Is there an api that I can connect to to pull this information?

The Web API doesn't provide real-time data. It only updates when the watch syncs, so can be 20-30 minutes delayed.

Thank you, @Gondwana 

@MohFayaz ... EDA data is not available through the Fitbit Web API.   But there are a lot more metrics returned by the Web API that could be used to detect stress, such as breathing rate, heart rate, SpO2, etc.

As Gondwana stated, the data returned through the Web API is not returned in real-time.  The data is only available after the device syncs. which automatically occurs every 15 minutes if the Fitbit mobile app is running on the device.

@Gordon-C You say EDA data is not available through the Fitbit Web API. Any idea where that data would be available (with user permission of course), or is it locked down? I have a really cool idea that needs to use data from an EDA sensor. It does not need to be in real time so long as there is a timestamp.

Unfortunately, we don't have an API that would allow you to download a user's EDA data.   I'll add your name to our feature request.
