Hello.

You can only access data processed by Fitbit. Fitbit API does not allows direct connection to trackers and accessing it's data.

You can check out what data you have access to here: https://wiki.fitbit.com/display/API/API+Explorer

@ibahdanauHi, I guess what I am interested is that if Fitbit could give the activities information in finer granularity, like hourly data. Current it only allows daily activities stats.
