Overview

About

Maintained by Matt KayeFirst published 2021-06-073 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Many 'Fitbit' users, and R-friendly 'Fitbit' users especially, have found themselves curious about their 'Fitbit' data. 'Fitbit' aggregates a large amount of personal data, much of which is interesting for personal research and to satisfy curiosity, and is even potentially useful in medical settings. The goal of 'fitbitr' is to make interfacing with the 'Fitbit' API as streamlined as possible, to make it simple for R users of all backgrounds and comfort levels to analyze their 'Fitbit' data and do whatever they want with it! Currently, 'fitbitr' includes methods for pulling data on activity, sleep, and heart rate, but this list is likely to grow in the future as the package gains more traction and more requests for new methods to be implemented come in. You can find details on the 'Fitbit' API at https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/.

grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-fitbitr

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 \
