About the Google Health API
We've rebuilt the Fitbit Web API from the ground up on Google's modern infrastructure.
Technical modernization
The Google Health API is not just a name change. It's the Fitbit Web API evolved into a more stable, consistent, and scalable foundation for your integrations. By migrating to the Google Health API, developers gain access to a suite of modernized tools and protocols.
Health and Fitness data types
The Google Health API stores and structures health and fitness data, and consolidates the Fitbit Web API surface from 100+ legacy endpoints to a streamlined set of data type bundles. It will also support write capabilities for all types and expanded endpoints.
