Python Programming with Raspberry Pi

Fitbit API Test

The documentation for the Fitbit API is available at http://python-fitbit.readthedocs.org/.Let's write a simple example to get today's physical activity:

1. The first step is import the fitbit module:

       import fitbit

2. We have to initialize the fitbit client using the client key, client secret, access_token, and refresh_token earlier in this section:

       fbit_client = fitbit.Fitbit(CONSUMER_KEY,                                    CONSUMER_SECRET,                                    access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN,                                        refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN)

3. According to the Fitbit API documentation, the current day's physical activity can be retrieved using the intraday_time_series() method.
4. The required arguments to retrieve the physical activity include the resource that needs to be retrieved; that is, steps, ...
