I just managed to get fitbitr working in RStudio. It helped to look here.
I am conducting a psychology study where I have participants wearing a Fitbit Charge 4 for 7 days and nights. I want to be able to extract their profile, heart rate, activity, sleep, and weight data, but not all the other stuff. Is there a way to tailor the authorization page to specify that, the way you can using Fitbit's own OAuth 2.0 Tutorial page? The Tutorial page generates code that I could cut-and-paste somewhere.
So, if I run the fitbitr token command and it leads me to the browser... can I email that link to my participant? I think this is currently set-up to help you access your own data, but I need a way to access participant data.
Let's say they authorize the token. How does fitbitr get that code?
Once I've got the code, I figure I can use fitbitr to extract the data. I do have my own Fitbit account, so I can try and do this...
Please advise, esp. is anyone has used fitbitr to access consenting participant data.
Thanks!
