Server side only application to access FitBit WEB API directly?

[levye]

Hi,

I would like to monitor a couple of users and collect a couple of metric from them and save to my own database. All this will happen on the server side. So server side will access WEB API and fetch data and then save to Database. Basically, I dont need a Fitbit application running on the device.

1- Is it possible? (reasonable?)

2-How I can authenticate the user if my application is fully server side? As they need to give permission if I will access their data anyway? How it will be possible with the server-side app?

3-I want to register an application but it also asks me "Application Website" So I won't have an application website to download the app as it will be server side. So nothing to download. What should I enter there?

So I am a bit confused

Any idea?

Thanks

I simply set up a script in a database that accessed the API and grabbed my data.

This doesn't have to be a database but could be your web server, even if it is only on your PC.

Your asking to do something like what MFP does. One script run multiple times to access multiple accounts.

Each Fitbit user will need to Grant your scriot access to their account

Once you get everyone's data, they need to have synced their Fitbit data to your database then you can process it all you want.
