Hi! I am part of a research project and we are using fitbits to collect the data. However, a lot of the variables for the data don't have clear descriptions when downloaded, and I was hoping there might be somewhere I could find potential descriptions. I attached the variables below for reference:
movement_type |
create_sh_ver |
energy_type |
exercise_time |
step_count |
exercise_calorie_target |
active_time |
target |
others_time |
modify_sh_ver |
update_time |
floors_target |
create_time |
floor_count |
dynamic_active_time_target |
exercise_time_target |
goal |
longest_active_time |
score |
move_hourly_count |
duration_type |
move_hourly_target |
distance |
dynamic_active_time |
calorie |
extra_data |
deviceuuid |
run_time |
pkg_name |
walk_time |
longest_idle_time |
datauuid |
day_time |

Hi @kushi_m
Most of those variable names do not look familiar to the Fitbit Web API. Would you provide me with the documentation page where you found them?

These variables were from when the fitbit app data was exported

Hi @kushi_m
The data exported from the user's account is supported by the main customer support team. So, I've moved your post here in hopes someone can help answer your question.
