Overview

About

Maintained by Lampros MouselimisCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗

Visualization of pre-downloaded 'Fitbit' personal health data using 'ggplot2' Visualizations, 'Leaflet' and 3-dimensional 'Rayshader' Maps. The 3-dimensional 'Rayshader' Map requires the installation of the 'CopernicusDEM' R package which includes the 30- and 90-meter elevation data.

Changes in 1.0.8

**Breaking change — Fitbit Web API dependency removed.** All functions that previously required a user_id and token have been refactored to accept pre-downloaded data directly, eliminating the dependency on httr, jsonlite, and base64enc. This change was driven by recurring Fitbit API policy changes (GitHub issues #4, #5, #7, #8, #11).
**Removed functions:** base_url_request(), refresh_token_app(), extract_LOG_ID() — these were API-only helpers with no visualization logic.
**Refactored functions** (new first parameter accepts pre-downloaded data instead of API credentials):
heart_rate_time_series(heart_rate_intraday_list, heart_rate = NULL, ...) — accepts a named list of intraday data.tables
fitbit_data_type_by_date(data, type = 'spo2', ...) — accepts the parsed JSON response for that date/type
sleep_single_day(sleep_data, date, ...) — accepts the parsed sleep API response
sleep_time_series(sleep_data_list, ...) — accepts a named list of per-date sleep responses
GPS_TCX_data(tcx_file, time_zone, ...) — accepts a path to an exported .tcx file
**Sample data:** The inst/tests_vignette_rds/ folder ships .RDS files (heart_dat.RDS, sleep_ts.RDS, res_tcx.RDS) that illustrate the expected input structure for each refactored function.
Users who need the previous API-based version can install it with remotes::install_github("mlampros/fitbitViz@v1.0.7") or from the CRAN archive at https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/fitbitViz/fitbitViz_1.0.7.tar.gz.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("fitbitViz", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("mlampros/fitbitViz")

Development version from mlampros/fitbitViz. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-fitbitviz

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-fitbitViz

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-fitbitViz

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
