Hello,

 

I am looking to make an app that will allow data to be synced from fitbit wearable devices.

 

How would I go about integrating Fitbit on a new app I am developing? Is there code or an API I can purchase through Fitbit to allow fitbit data to be shown on a new app?

Hi @JBB1995,

 

Sorry about the delayed response, and I'll be happy to assist.

 

Currently, there are two ways you can go about doing this:

 

  • Use the Web API to pull data. In this method, the customer will first need to sync their data to our servers. You'll need to create an application to extract that data after the user has given consent to access their data using the oAuth 2.0 flow. 
  • Or, you can use our Device SDK to build an app on the device that will sync your data to your server using the Companion API.

I hope this helps!
