I have been trying to find some information about this but I haven’t seem to have much luck finding an answer. Is there a way of accessing Samsung Health data from a simple RESTful API?
I’m developing a webapp where all collected Samsung Health data would be pretty handy. I don’t require data straight from a tracker device but rather from Samsung Health servers. That’s why its Android SDK doesn’t work for me as the webapp won’t be installed on a device, it is a simple dashboard of information.
This would be hugely beneficial. We run walking challenges in different regions of the US/UK and Canada. We integrate with fitbit,garmin and google fit. We tell our users to either purchase a garmin, fitbit or use their android device to track steps. It has been fairly successful for our small company with up to 10,000 users joining the challenges (and often asking us for recommendations on which device to purchase). Unfortunately Samsung is not in our list of recommendations since they lack a restful api for us to easily integrate.
I’m also interessed in a REST API, could it be that this is now accessable? I found this sentence in the API documentation: Samsung Health provides Server SDK with REST APIs for accessing the user’s health data in Samsung Health Server. It enables a service provider to expand a service scope to a Web region not only with an app.
Samsung Health Server SDK is available to Samsung Health’s strategic partners only with a contract.
We bought devices. We paid money for them. Allow us access to our data! Small developers like myself want it for PERSONAL reasons. I am not out to make money here - I simply want to innovate better ways for myself to keep up to the physical challenge.
