Fitbit module: update previous days' steps #3

Closed stefangrund closed 10 years ago

stefangrund commented 10 years ago

Right now the module gets the previous days steps once a day and doesn't update them automatically. That's a problem when your tracker hasn't synced with Fitbit's server for a while. As a result the Personal API could be missing some steps or even days.

For my (Python) Fitbit module I just get the last 10 days' information and overwrite any existing data. Fitbit's data is always more accurate than the local one, never worse than it.

I don't know why, but I didn't think of that. Good idea!

Can I assign this one to you, if you're still willing to modify the Fitbit module? (see this issue)

AndiH commented 10 years ago

I don't know if my current understanding of the PAPI is that detailed.
That said: Assign it to me. I will try! If I fail, I will come back to you and ask for some help :smiley:.

I've just updated the steps module. It's now able to add missing/new Fitbit data from the last 30 days. Outdated data will be updated, too.

The update process runs in two steps:

  1. update → adds all missing days
  2. update → if there are no more days missing, it updates the outdated data

Also there's a new function to perform PUT requests (@AndiH): doPutRequest() in inc/global_functions.php

Great! Thanks!
