OSCAR suggestion - API integration (Long term) - Damiansd - 02-19-2020

Hello,

Really appreciating Oscar and all the work that has gone into it. 

As we are all getting more techy and geeky by the day I wondered if long term we could integrate API functionality to pull in things like the following for the sleep period from Fitbit, Garmin, Apple ...:
  • Heart rate
  • SP02
  • Movement (very limited I know)
  • ....
This is a bigger dev effort and I know the roadmap is long enough as it stands. But a guy can hope can't he?

Regards,
Damian.

Some of that should be in the next release, that is unless testing shows something bad. Some of that (SPO2) is there now. Not via API though.

The bottom line is with more developers the more we can do. If interested PM me.

Thanks Bonjour, 

I have PMd you. 

Maybe API was the wrong phrase. But if we could update Oscar to be able to log into Garmin, Fitbit, ... sites, via THEIR APIs, it would rock. Users could configure their credentials within Oscar for those remote sites.

Thanks for the hard work and support,
D

That's a very interesting idea. We've generally been focused on direct connection to machines, so OSCAR doesn't currently have any network functionality. It might be too much of a moving target to be practical, but I'll keep it in mind as we think about how to improve OSCAR's flexibility.
