This gem uses the OmniAuth-Fitbit Strategy for authentication. See that repo for more info.

Add the gem to your Gemfile

gem 'fitbit-omni-api'

The gem class is simply 'Fitbit::Api' and Fitbit Api requests are made with the 'Fitbit::Api.request' method.

Each API request needs:

• Your Fitbit consumer_key and consumer_secret (acquired from dev.fitbit.com)
• A params Hash with api-method and required parameters
• Optionally, Fitbit auth tokens or user-id if required

This is the structure of an authenticated API call:

Fitbit::Api.request(
  'consumer_key',
  'consumer_secret',
  params = { 'api-method' => 'api-method-here', 'start-time' => '00:00' }
  'auth_token',
  'auth_secret'
)

This gem supports the Fitbit Resource Access API, Fitbit Subscriptions API and Fitbit Partner API.

To access the Resource Access API, consult the API docs and provide the required parameters. For example, the API-Search-Foods method requires 'api-version', 'query' and 'response-format', plus there's an optional 'Accept-Locale' Request Header parameter.

A call to API-Search-Foods might look like this:

def fitbit_foods_search
  request = Fitbit::Api.request(
    'consumer_key',
    'consumer_secret',
    params={'api-method'=>'api-search-foods','query'=>'buffalo chicken','Accept-Locale'=>'en_US'}
    'auth_token',
    'auth_secret'
  )
  @response = request.body
end

Use API-Create-Subscription and API-Delete-Subscription API methods to to access the Subscription API. Consult the Subscription API docs to discover the required parameters. To subscribe to ALL of a user's changes, make 'collection-path' = 'all'.

These features are only accessible with approved Fitbit developer accounts.

• 'api-version' defaults to '1'
• 'response-format' defaults to 'xml'
