FitBit Tools

These are my tools and libraries, which I use to manage and interact with the FitBit API. If you wish to use them, you will have to register a new app and get credentials from dev.fitbit.com, which is not a difficult task.

Libraries

These are libraries I use to deal with my FitBit data

  • fitbit.py - access to the FitBit API
  • mydb.py - store data locally so I don't abuse the API
  • pushover.py - alerting to my phone
  • spark.py - creating sparklines for Twitter and other social media

Configuration

I use YAML configuration files to keep from having to hardcode passwords and tokens into my code. These files show format only.

  • fitbit.cnf
  • my.yaml
  • pushover.yml
  • fitbit.txt - description of the MySQL table I use to store my FitBit data. Not valid SQL.

Python

  • fitbit.battery.py - checks current battery level and alerts if not "high"
  • fitbit.date.py - full db download of FitBit data
  • fitbit.download.py - last few days of FitBit data to configure
  • fitbit.no_sync.py - check if my FitBit has sync'd in the last 3 days
  • fitbit.spark.py - outputs a sparkline showing the ups and downs of my last week's steps
  • fitbit.weight.py - uploads my weight via the FitBit API

RScript

I use R to generate plots of my FitBit data. I'm including two RScripts which run via crontab. My R is very remedial, and the plots could be made much prettier with ggplot2 and similar libraries.

  • fb_floors_week.rs
  • fb_steps_week.rs
