FitTrend is excited to support Fitbit! #
Fitbit® is dedicated to health and fitness. They build products that help transform people’s lives. While health can be serious business, Fitbit feels it doesn’t have to be. Fitbit believes you’re more likely to reach your goals if you’re encouraged to have fun, smile, and feel empowered along the way. Enabling Fitbit support will import your Fitbit data from Fitbit devices into your FitTrend Journal.
Fitbit Support Benefits #
When Fitbit support is active, it enhances your experience by showing your Fitbit and FitTrend data together. Here is a list of the kinds of Fitbit data that you will see in FitTrend:
- Activities and workouts
- Active zone minutes
- Breathing rate while asleep
- Calories burned
- Cardio Score (also known as VO2 max)
- Distance
- Fitbit badges and achievements
- Floors climbed
- Heart Rate Variability
- Oxygen saturation (SpO2) while asleep
- Steps
- Time asleep
- Track weight, BMI, and body fat from your Aria Scale
- More FitTrend Charts to trend your FitTrend and Fitbit data over time
However, your Fitbit device may not support all the possible data types that newer devices support. If you do not see specific data types mentioned in FitTrend, your Fitbit device may not support it.
How FitTrend imports Fitbit data #
FitTrend talks to Fitbit using its publicly available API. However, FitTrend cannot import your data without you granting us permission. Once granted, FitTrend will import your data automatically so it is available when you log in to FitTrend.
However, there is a limit to how much FitTrend can talk to the Fitbit servers per minute and per hour. Therefore, FitTrend will import your data and notify you if it reaches the limit. Although, this is temporary. When FitTrend begins to import data again, it will resume importing where it left off.
