How to integerate Fitbit's rest API?

We want to request data from Fitbit like steps and heart beat using the rest api they provide. How can we add this directly to the kinvey backend so that we can gather it and store in our own collections? What plan would this fall under?


Hi Pranay,


Kinvey has a service Rapid REST connector which I believe will fit your use case better. The documentation is available here: http://devcenter.kinvey.com/angular/guides/rapid-data#ConnectorforRESTAPIs This feature is available in paid plans with Kinvey.


Can you answer a couple of questions for me:

  1. What's the general use case behind the app you are developing?
  2. Are you working against a deadline in terms of development process or go to market strategy?
  3. Do you want to keep the data in Kinvey collections or use Kinvey as passthrough to connect with fitbit?
  4. Do you want to do any transformations before the data is served to the app?


The answers to these questions will help me get you connected with the right Kinvey team.

Wani

Pranay,

You can write business logic and which will make a call to Fitbit API. I am not sure about your detailed requirement but this is something which you can look into.
