NB: This is a fork. I just added a few things to experiment a bit. The Knio version is most probably actively developed. Consider using that one.
Manual:
git clone https://github.com/vilhelmp/myfitbit.git
cd myfitbit
python3 setup.py install
or for development
python3 setup.py develop
- Register a new app at https://dev.fitbit.com/apps/new
The app should look like this:
The Callback URL must be exactly http://localhost:8189/auth_code
- Configure the API keys
Make a file myfitbit.ini in your working directory with the client ID and secret you got from registering the fitbit app:
[fitbit_auth]
client_id = 123ABCD
client_secret = 0123456789abcdef0a1b2c3d4f5
- Export your data
python3 -m myfitbit
This will open a web browser and prompt you to allow the app to access your data.
It will then begin exporting to your current working directory.
Note that the fitbit API is rate limited to 150 calls/hour, and you can query only 1 day of heartrate data at a time. If you many days of data, you will be rate limited and see an HTTP 429 error. Simply re-run the command an hour later and it will resume downloading where it left off.
Once you have run this command you can rerun it regularly without the need to allow access every time.
- Generate report
python3 -m myfitbit.report --user 123ABC
Use the user id seen in the folder created in your directory (where all the data live)
This will generate report.html in your current working directory.
This might take a long time to load depending on how much data you have.
