Subscription API and Intraday Data

Hello,

 

For our application we require the most up to date user data including their minute by minute heart rate if available. We are using the subscription API to be notified when a user has new data but are not sure how to access the most up to date intraday data. Is this at all possible without polling?

 

Thanks,
Stress Health

@alevy01 Polling Fitbit for data is not as useful as using subscriptions, because you won't know if there's new data. A user has to sync before data is available anyways, and your app will receive a notification when data is changed (new, updated, deleted).

 

There's a related thread about subscriptions and intraday data that also might help clarify.
