Getting intraday data from other people

So basically I have an app I want to create for my graduation project, the idea is a health care plan for a local company and I wanted their customers to register with fitbit and use their devices to monitor their heart rate on a minute to minute basis or something like that, the idea behind it all is to alert the health care company that their client is having heart problems and to send help to them.

 

I read that i can't get this data without using the web api, while reading tutorial I've noticed that they seem to only get one persons data, so I wanted to ask if there is any way to get multiple peoples data for my project? Any other help is also apreciated! Using a Charge 2 btw, if that helps.

Hi @Renalt,

 

You can develop an application that retrieves multiple users Intraday data.  We have some sample code available on our web site, and there are plenty more examples you can find through internet searches.  You'll need to keep the following in mind

 

  • You'll need to register your application at https://dev.fitbit.com
  • To receive data for multiple users, you'll need to set the application type to "client" or "server"
  • Each Fitbit user will need to authorize sharing their Fitbit data with your application
  • You'll need to request Intraday access for your application by filling out this form, https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/help/.

Let us know if you need additional help.
