How To Download Fitbit Data Using Google Spreadsheets: An Update

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Ernesto Ramirez

If you’re like me, then you’re always looking for new ways to learn about yourself through the data you collect.

This was by far the easiest method for people who want to use the Fitbit API, but don’t have the programming skills to write their own code. As luck would have it one of our very own QS Meetup Organizers, Mark Leavitt from QS Portland, decided to make some modifications to that script to make it even easier to get your data. In this video below I walk you through the steps necessary to setup your very own Fitbit data Google spreadsheet.

Beau Gunderson on Online Activity Aggregation

Posted on April 23, 2012 by Alexandra Carmichael

In this talk, Beau Gunderson shares a way to bring all of your disparate data sets, from Facebook to Twitter to Foursquare to Zeo to Fitbit to Runkeeper, together in one collection to be accessed through simple APIs. It’s part of an open source development effort called The Locker Project. The hope is to be able to see new patterns and correlations by bringing these sources of data together. Beau learned some interesting things about himself, and had fun playing with different questions he had about his data. (Filmed by the Seattle QS Show&Tell meetup group.)
