What is "value" in intraday Heart Rate data? Is it resting heart rate or average heart rate?

When I query intraday HR data, I see results that contain the following. What is "value" here? Is it resting HR or average HR?

 

"activities-heart": [
        {
            "customHeartRateZones": [],
            "dateTime": "today",
            "heartRateZones": [
                {
                    "caloriesOut": 2.3246,
                    "max": 94,
                    "min": 30,
                    "minutes": 2,
                    "name": "Out of Range"
                },
                {
                    "caloriesOut": 0,
                    "max": 132,
                    "min": 94,
                    "minutes": 0,
                    "name": "Fat Burn"
                },
                {
                    "caloriesOut": 0,
                    "max": 160,
                    "min": 132,
                    "minutes": 0,
                    "name": "Cardio"
                },
                {
                    "caloriesOut": 0,
                    "max": 220,
                    "min": 160,
                    "minutes": 0,
                    "name": "Peak"
                }
            ],
            "value": "64.2"
        }

Hi @anrerp 

 

I believe it should be resting heart rate.   Would you please provide me with the syntax you're using?   I cannot reproduce "value" being returned.

I'm using the intraday_time_series(...) function from this library here: https://python-fitbit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

The above output, however, is actually taken directly from here: https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/heart-rate/#get-heart-rate-intraday-time-series (as I couldn't post participant data). So, the example on Fitbit's website also shows "value" in output. Can you confirm that that's indeed resting heart rate? I need to use this data for research.

The docs are a little outdated and are in the process of being updated.    We don't support the Oauth2 libraries, and I don't see any endpoints listed on that page.   Would you please provide me the endpoint being executed in your code?   I believe it should be resting heart rate.  The endpoint will help me determine if there is a bug in our service or your library.
