Sense 2 API not available for 3rd-party developers

I use sleep as Android. I was hoping when I got this sense 2 that I would be able to integrate it. Unfortunately I was told by their developers that new Fitbit devices are not supporting the apis that they need. This would explain the general lack of apps  Available, period. Sometimes other people's apps do a better job, even if it's only at displaying the data. Right now with this attitude I may skip a future Fitbit purchase. I am even considering returning this device for an older cheaper one that actually works with the products I want it to. I don't like this proprietary crap especially when I'm paying you for premium.

Hi @xenoterracide 

 

The apps @Guy_ is referring to are on-device applications or clockfaces.   However, the Fitbit Web APIs are still available for integration Fitbit data with 3rd party applications.   You can read the data from Fitbit using the API and display them in your own web, on-premise or mobile application.   We're still supporting 1000s of integrations with other 3rd party applications, such as MyFitnessPal, WeightWatchers, Noom, etc. 

 

Tell me about the integration you want to build.
