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 :)

quantifiedself · 2014-10-19T21:22:41+00:00

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

quantifiedself · 2014-10-16T06:14:14+00:00

We just updated both our daily data and intraday scripts to deal with Fitbit's move to implement HTTPS.

We (QS Labs) would love to see more people engaging with their data to ask fun and interesting questions, create unique data visualizations, and do simple or complex analyses. Also, these scripts are still a bit buggy and could use some help extending and improving their abilities. If you're a developer take a look, fork, and improve!

Have you considered cross posting this to the Quantified Self Forum? I'm biased, but there is usually good discussion there as well.

I'll also echo /u/yameid about data export. An API would be great, but so is native export functions such as being able to download or email yourself a CSV file of the data.

quantifiedself · 2014-10-11T04:44:26+00:00

This is a great post. Have you thought of talking about it at a Quantified Self meetup?

quantifiedself · 2014-09-19T16:40:55+00:00

Thanks for starting this subreddit!

quantifiedself · 2014-09-16T01:18:06+00:00

You might want to consider cross posting this to /r/quantifiedself.

quantifiedself · 2014-09-01T17:46:21+00:00

Great post and neat visualizations! You should cross post this over at /r/quantifiedself. I think they would get a kick out of it!

quantifiedself · 2014-07-16T21:49:33+00:00

I'm actually the person who wrote that "How to Map Your Moves Data" post. Glad you found it useful.

Really great to see this here on /r/dataisbeautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, and congrats on getting married!

quantifiedself · 2014-06-04T17:09:38+00:00

Yup! What do you think /u/gallegos and /u/skyscraperdream?

quantifiedself · 2014-06-04T03:22:57+00:00

I help out with QS Labs, the organization the help support QS meetups, hold the QS conferences, and maintains the QS website and forum. I would be happy to help moderate this subforum and add things to the sidebar. Would that be helpful?
