My tools for analyzing fitbit data.

A very simple Java programming using Clay Gregory's marvellous jFitbit to grab a Fitbit account's intraday time-series data.

Produces a file called FitbitData which has timestamped stepcounts for a date range

• jFitbit
• cg-jcommons
• Apache http-components (I found version 4.2.5 worked just fine)

This isn't well packaged, but hopefully the instructions will help.

1. Create a new eclipse project (or, if you are good with ant, then you can probably figure this out without instructions.

2. Add the file FitbitDataFetch/src/FitbitTest.java

3. Download the two projects, jFitbit and cg-jcommons. Both can be built with maven using mvn package, and will produce .jar files in target/. Add these jars to the Java build path for your eclipse project. Download the binary package of http-components, and add the jars in lib/ to your build path.

4. Modfify the source of FitbitTest.java to use your username and password.

5. Run!

A very simple python program which takes the output of FitbitDataFetch and produces a Diurnal plot inspired by the 'personal analytics' of Stephen Wolfram.
