Getting baseline temperature

[mmf229]

I know temperature logs output the deviation from the baseline - but to calculate the deviations... the baseline must be known. Is there anyway to pull this?

Hi @mmf229 

At this time, baseline temperature is not available through the Fitbit Web API.   I will add your name to the list of users requesting this functionality.

Best,

What is the protocol or next steps after being added to the list?

The product team monitors the interest & feedback.  If there is enough interest, they will consider putting it on the roadmap.

Not having the baseline isn't just a little confusing as an external developer but also as a user in the app. The lack of context as to my 'normal range' without knowing my 'normal range' is a bit odd.

My team personally have a use case where we might want to detect a person is becoming ill - we can use a big variance as a detector - but I wouldn't be sure if this has hit 38/39/40 degrees without this core information.

Something as simple as returning the average temp value would be hugely valuable.
