Hello,
I’m a mobile developer building a health app that needs access to Fitbit’s sleep data. As most of you know, Fitbit requires completion of the Research Application form at https://partners.fitbit.com/researchapplication before granting clearance.
The problem is that form has been “under maintenance” for months. I’ve tried reaching out through the developer portal, and even spoke with a Google/Fitbit support chatter, but they couldn’t help me. I keep getting redirected to “general questions,” which don’t address this issue.
Right now, I still have no way to get access to sleep data. The requirement is clear (“complete the form”), but the form itself is broken, leaving developers stuck.
Has anyone here found a workaround or an actual contact at Fitbit/Google who can resolve this? At minimum, I think Fitbit needs to acknowledge that the form is dead and provide an alternative path for developers who legitimately need sleep data access.
Thanks

Hello @kieran95. This forum is for Fitbit users having issues with the Fitbit app. I looked at your profile and see that you also posted in the web API forum. That forum is monitored by Fitbit developers. Be patient and I’m confident you’ll get a response.
