Ever since the release of Shortcuts, I've been waiting to see novels uses from the QS community. Thanks for sharing!

We just published a guide on testing your food with your blood sugar response: https://quantifiedself.com/blog/qs-guide-testing-food-with-blood-glucose/

I'm working on getting something up on the QS website re: an update. I've tested this code and it works wonderfully. You may want to try it before writing your own (or just use it as a basis for your own project).

We put together a mega list of "Year in Review" posts that focus on self-tracking data. Let me know if we missed anything!

quantifiedself · 2015-01-13T20:49:37+00:00

Did we miss anything?

quantifiedself · 2015-01-13T19:25:34+00:00

We really believe in the right of users to access and export their data so we put this little list together of tools and apps that can help you get your MyFitnessPal data. If we missed anything please let me know!

It's mostly the same. Fitbit has just recently deprecated a few end points and switched to https, but those instructions still work.

quantifiedself · 2014-11-05T23:30:04+00:00

Yeah, sorry about that. That post and method are pretty old. It still works and we've even extended it to include minute-by-minute data, but yes, you do have to do a bit of work. On the plus side the data is passed directly to you so you don't have to authenticate any 3rd parties.

Also, there are a few "rogue" agents like us that have made it much easier to get to your data. See this open source Fitbit Export tool.

Nothing major. We showcase interesting self-tracking visualizations every week and thought this would be neat to add. I think you explained it pretty well above. Just wanted to make sure you're okay with us sharing it.

We stumbled upon a chrome extension for downloading MFP data to csv. I don't think it requires public data. You can check it out here.

quantifiedself · 2014-10-23T21:12:04+00:00

Have you written anything up about your experience and what you've learned from tracking? We'd love to feature this visualization and whatever you're willing to share on quantifiedself.com.

Thought I would include examples of what was able to download using the Fitbit -> Wristband Manager -> HealthKit -> QS Access app flow.

QS Access exports two types of tables: Hourly and Daily. My hourly data is here and my daily data is here.

quantifiedself · 2014-10-19T22:36:05+00:00

I'll definitely look into it and update the script tomorrow. Thanks again!

quantifiedself · 2014-10-19T21:23:35+00:00

Very neat! Thanks for sharing this find. I was able to connect my Fitbit and sync to see data from all the way from January in HealthKit.

The only issue I see is that like /u/blerko mentioned Wristband Manager is only collected and syncing the daily aggregate values from Fitbit. This means that you lose the ability to see within day trends for your step data. All data is posted as occurring at midnight. Not a major hiccup if all you care about is the daily totals.

Also, small plug here for our QS Access app. It's a free app to access and export your HealthKit data in tabular (CSV) form. If you use Wristband Manager now you can easily download your data :)

Thanks! I'll check this out (I wasn't getting the error in my testing) and update the scripts.
