health

Retrieve, store and plot your Fitbit data.

Usage

Register a new Fitbit app

Register a new app here and provide your oauth credentials in the file conf.cfg.
In order to get intra-days values for the heart rate, you should create a Personal app.
The callback URL should be http://127.0.0.1:8080/.

To get your access_token and refresh_token:

$ python gather_keys_oauth2.py client_id client_secret

Database configuration

Example with SQLite

Configure the connection in the file conf.cfg:

$ grep 'database_url' conf/conf.cfg
database_url = sqlite:///health.db

Then create and initialize the database:

$ ./fitbit-ctl.py db_initialize
reinitialize the database (yes/no) ? (default: no)  : yes

Example with PostgreSQL

Create a new PostgreSQL database (or MySQL) for this application and configure the connection in the file conf.cfg:

$ grep 'database_url' conf/conf.cfg
database_url = postgres://pgsqluser:pgsqlpwd@127.0.0.1:5432/health

As you can see the line specifies:

• the kind of the database (here postgres);
• the database user name and password;
• the database address and port;
• the database name.

Then create and initialize the database:

$ ./create_db.sh
ALTER ROLE
GRANT
$ ./fitbit-ctl.py db_initialize
reinitialize the database (yes/no) ? (default: no)  : yes
