Exporter for piping metrics from fitbit to timescale

fitbit-timescaledb-exporter

Exporter for piping metrics from fitbit to timescale-db

Has two components

• Downloader.py - downloads your fitbit data using personal access token.
• Sender.py - parses the locally downloaded fitbit data and stores it in timescale-db

How to run

• Create config.json, you can use sample_config.json as reference and update the fields as required. Currently, sample_config.json has all the fields that can be configured and config parameters are self explanatory.
• Create pipenv for the python scripts using the pipfile.
• Run Downloader.py which fetches user data from fitbit. This can run for pretty long depending on the start date set in the config file and rate limits imposed by fitbit.
• Run Sender.py to parse the data and push to timescale-db
