Fitbit API Integration
Terra's Fitbit web API integration will enable you to retrieve Fitbit data from a range of Fitbit devices through one integration. You will receive users' calorie counts, steps, and even intraday heart rate information. This intraday data can contain detailed information on heart rate, heart rate variability, and oxygen saturation. Beyond it, you will even receive data pushes for the nutritional information of your users' meals, such as macronutrient and micronutrient information for every meal, through one API integrationStart Receiving Data From Fitbit In 5 Minutes

How the Fitbit API integration works
- Data delivery
- Fitbit pushes to Terra on change
- Expected latency
- Seconds after the provider syncs
- Data types
- Activity, Body, Daily, Nutrition and Sleep
- Credentials
- Terra manages the Fitbit API credentials, so there is nothing to register
Two ways to receive Fitbit data
When data is available from a Fitbit device, Terra sends it straight to your webhook. During your Terra account setup you'll be prompted for a callback URL, and that is where Terra POSTs each payload.
Fitbit notifies Terra as soon as new data is available, and we POST the normalized payload straight to your webhook. No polling needed.
Fitbit's Activity
Payload Preview
Terra API preserves the raw data from the wearable, it just standardizes the units and the json format. It doesn’t augment or change the raw data in any way.
Data is organized into one of 6 data types.
