  • Simplified data type bundles, standardized formats, auto-subscribing webhooks, HTTP and gRPC protocols, reconciled stream of data from all sources, and more
  • Designed to meet data demands and support a comprehensive set of health and fitness data, serving as a backbone of the next generation of AI-driven health and fitness apps
  • Utilizes Google OAuth 2.0 libraries for authentication, simplifying the identity management process

About the Google Health API

We've rebuilt the Fitbit Web API from the ground up on Google's modern infrastructure.
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.
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.
