Get intraday time series for current sleep while sleeping

[noobtiger]

I categorized the app as personal, I am able to access the minute by minute sleep data. However I am able to get the complete data only after waking up. Instead I need to get sleep data at multiple times in the middle of the night of the current sleep.

The request URL I am using is

https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/sleep/date/today.json

With this I am getting previous night's data until mid night, then the sleep data is null. I changed the date to tomorrow's date in the current code and I will have to test it tonight, but I believe its gonna show null until I wake up.

Please help me get minute by minute data for current sleep instead all at once after wakign up.

Thanks.

Sleep logs are only available after awakening and a device sync.

Yup, please consider this for future API release. 

There is some interest for this app I am trying to build

Keep in mind that devices only attempt to sync every 15–20 minutes. Even if partial sleep logs were added, this would be a significant delay to pausing someone's music.

True, a api request to force sync would be helpful a lot as well.

In order to maximize the time between having to charge the device, Bluetooth communication is kept to a minimum. I would not expect to see this functionality offered.

While it should be kept to a minimum for most usages, for many real-time applications, the ability to force syncs would be extremily helpful.

Is there any progress about this?

Thanks.
