How it connects

ROOK connects to Google Health through its cloud API.

Google Health is the new name of Fitbit. ROOK's Google Health integration, formerly the Fitbit integration, connects through the API, so users authorize their account from your connections page and ROOK delivers the data as structured JSON, by webhook and API.

Google Health data, including the data from Fitbit devices, arrives in the same format as every other data source ROOK connects, so your product reads one structure no matter where the data comes from.

ROOK delivers Google Health (formerly Fitbit) data through the same Data Webhook and API as every other data source connected to your account.
