Get activities data from Flex

[maboelnour]

Hi,

I'm using Fitbit API to sync with Flex, but when fetching the user's activities, i got only the logged activities from the web dashboard not recorded by the Flex tracker.

Any hint?

Thanks.

Hello, do you see those activities that reported by your Flex tracker on fitbit.com?

Did you consider using timeseries APIs: https://wiki.fitbit.com/display/API/API-Get-Time-Series ?

- Using timeseries APIs will return the data from the tracker in daily listing, Is there any posibility to list like the activties listing?

- In timeseries API there is 4 activity duration types:

• minutesSedentary
  
• minutesLightlyActive
• minutesFairlyActive
• minutesVeryActive

If my app saves the total duration for a tracker-logged activity i'm supossing to sum the last 3 types and save them? 

Thanks for your reply.

Hello, please answer my first question above.

I see them reflected on my fitbit Dashboared, but i don't see them under Log/activities.

Thanks.

Unfortuantely the API does not expose Activity Records (annotations created on the tracker). We hope to have this added to the API in the near future but I don't have a exact timeline for it.

Do we have api available now to get the activities recorded by flex.?

[AndrewFitbit]

@ranjitrathod No, the API still does not expose Activity Records. 

[ranjitrathod]

is there any other way to get the activities which were recorded from flex?

Thanks.

[AndrewFitbit]

@ranjitrathod No, unfortunately you won't be able to get activities recorded by a Flex because they show up as activity records.

[ranjitrathod]

What about any other device?
Is this same for all or just flex?

[AndrewFitbit]

@ranjitrathod I believe the only two devices that still use "Activity record" are the One and Flex.
