Flow Of Getting Data from API

[DataProvided]

Hi,

I am creating an app where I need to display the Fitbit data in my app.

Can anyone explain me the flow how we get the data from the Fitbit watch to our app?

Also, is it necessary that the FitBit app should be installed in the device to fetch data into our app?

How our app will fetch the data from Fitbit, do we need to connect our app to FitBit watch via Bluetooth or it will use the FitBit API and fetch the data from FitBit server?

Thanks,

Ashish

@DataProvided A Fitbit device has to sync to the Fitbit servers through Fitbit software (Fitbit mobile app or desktop client) before it can be fetched using the Fitbit API.

Flow:

Fitbit device > sync > Fitbit server > your app using the Fitbit API
