Is there any api for sync?

[phx0828]

I'm trying to write an app which can fetch data from Fitbit (using web API).

As I know, the way to sync the data from watch is opening the Fitbit app(or make Fitbit app running in the background). If I didn't open the Fitbit app to sync the data first, my app couldn't fetch the newest data. Is there any API or command that can make my app sync the data without opening the Fitbit app?

Thank you very much.

Hi @phx0828 

We don't have an API to force a sync between the device and mobile app.   The mobile app needs to be running on the mobile device for the sync to occur.

If you use the Device and Companion APIs, you can get near-real-time data. But it's more difficult and can be less reliable.
