Knowing when all data has been reported for a given date.

Hey,

I'm trying to take my fitbit data and insert it into an analytics application as events. For example a daily activity summary would be an event.

The problem I've run into is that I can't do updates on created events. This means that I somehow must figure out when I've got all available data for a given date and wait until then to send the event to the analytics application.

Is this possible? Could I for example assume that I have a complete summary for a day if I have data for the following day?

I've had a similar problem with my project.

 

They way I got around it was to detect the first subscription event for the following day. So if I want to know when October the 19th is complete I will look for the first record of steps taken on October 20th

 

I've found this works quite well, but its best to look for something that is updated from the Fitbit and not the website like sleep, water or food. That aside it works well.

Thanks, stuartma. Then I'll try doing it that way. Right now I'm just looking at the activity summary and as far as I know that data only comes from the Fitbit device.
