Some questions before buy a fitbit for a personal project... (help!)

[manoelbrasil]

Hello fitbit devs community!  

I work in a small developers team in Brazil. We are developing our website, where each team member will have a animation showing live what we have been doing... 

We want to buy fitbit charge to monitore some activitis, like heartbeat and sleeping. 

I have a few questions before buy it:

1) I will be able to know when one of my teammates just start to sleep? 

2) Can I show live the heartheat of them? 

3) How ofen fitbits's wristband syncs and updated their server? 

4) Since we don't have a fitibit, is difficult to test if we can get what we want. There is any public access token that we can work with? 

Best, 

Mané

1. Sleep logs are not logged until someone awakes.
2. Heart rate is returned as a beats per minute value. It does not report a cardiograph.
3. Fitbit devices sync every 15–20 minutes.
4. You don't need a Fitbit device to use the Fitbit app. You can create an account for free and register an app to use the Fitbit Web API at https://dev.fitbit.com .
