Importing data from secondary fitbit into primary device.

[tvanz]

So I have two fitbit trackers, inspire 2 and pixel watch 3. I do not wear my pixel watch at work, but I do wear my inspire. Because I can't have two trackers on the same account and switch which is active (without a massive headache) I currently add data manually by exporting from my secondary account and converting that to an activity on my main. It's extremely inaccurate, since duration is in minutes only. I am wondering if there is a way to use the web api to effectively act as a straight import? One to one for every field present in both devices. For instance steps (directly and not indirectly via an activity). I can't imagine why we wouldn't be able to do something like this (unless it was explicitly decided not to allow this functionality). Anyone know?

Hi @tvanz 

You could use the Web API to merge the data between your 2 accounts.  If you want the data to be visible through the Fitbit accounts, you will be limited to the type of data that can be synced between the accounts.  Not all data types support POST events, or uploading data into Fitbit.   For example, you could upload recorded activities, but you would not be able to upload heart rate data.  

A better solution for you would be to download the data from the 2 Fitbit accounts into a single data store that you manage.  All data types support GET requests to export the data from Fitbit.  Once you have the data downloaded into your data store, you could create a dashboard or report which displays the data from both devices.
