fitbitViz 1.0.8

  • Breaking change — Fitbit Web API dependency removed. All functions that previously required a user_id and token have been refactored to accept pre-downloaded data directly, eliminating the dependency on httr, jsonlite, and base64enc. This change was driven by recurring Fitbit API policy changes (GitHub issues #4, #5, #7, #8, #11).
  • Removed functions: base_url_request(), refresh_token_app(), extract_LOG_ID() — these were API-only helpers with no visualization logic.
  • Refactored functions (new first parameter accepts pre-downloaded data instead of API credentials):
    • heart_rate_time_series(heart_rate_intraday_list, heart_rate = NULL, ...) — accepts a named list of intraday data.tables
    • fitbit_data_type_by_date(data, type = 'spo2', ...) — accepts the parsed JSON response for that date/type
    • sleep_single_day(sleep_data, date, ...) — accepts the parsed sleep API response
    • sleep_time_series(sleep_data_list, ...) — accepts a named list of per-date sleep responses
    • GPS_TCX_data(tcx_file, time_zone, ...) — accepts a path to an exported .tcx file
  • Sample data: The inst/tests_vignette_rds/ folder ships .RDS files (heart_dat.RDS, sleep_ts.RDS, res_tcx.RDS) that illustrate the expected input structure for each refactored function.
  • Users who need the previous API-based version can install it with remotes::install_github("mlampros/fitbitViz@v1.0.7") or from the CRAN archive at https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/fitbitViz/fitbitViz_1.0.7.tar.gz.

fitbitViz 1.0.7

CRAN release: 2025-06-21

  • The code base was updated based on pull request 9. In fitbitViz an element property was declared as text, whereas the latest version of ggplot2 expected a numeric value.

fitbitViz 1.0.6

CRAN release: 2024-02-08

  • I fixed a CRAN error
  • I removed a broken URL

fitbitViz 1.0.5

CRAN release: 2023-01-06

  • I removed ‘rgdal’ from ‘Suggests’ as it is no longer required (see: https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/12/14/evolution2.html)
  • I updated the README.md file because the registration of an Application of the fitbit web API has changed
  • I added the ‘simplifyVector’ parameter to the ‘base_url_request()’ function
  • I added the ‘fitbit_data_type_by_date()’ function which includes the new fitbit data types ‘spo2’ (Blood Oxygen Saturation), ‘hrv’ (Heart Rate Variability), ‘br’ (Breathing Rate), ‘temp’ (Temperature) and ‘cardioscore’ (Cardio Fitness Score or VO2 Max). For more details see: https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/
  • I added the ‘refresh_token_app()’ function which allows the user to refresh the token once the initial access token of the existing Fitbit Application is expired (after 8 hours)
  • I added a deprecation message to the ‘heart_rate_variability_sleep_time()’ function because it is replaced by the ‘fitbit_data_type_by_date()’ function when the ‘type’ parameter is set to ‘hrv’ (Heart Rate Variability)
  • I updated the vignette by adding information regarding the ‘refresh_token_app()’ function. I also replaced the ‘heart_rate_variability_sleep_time()’ with the ‘fitbit_data_type_by_date()’ function by setting the ‘type’ parameter to ‘hrv’
  • I added the internal ‘plot_data_type()’ function

fitbitViz 1.0.4

CRAN release: 2022-03-07

  • I’ve added the ‘fitbitViz.R’ file to include the ‘utils::globalVariables()’ dependency
  • I’ve modified internally the code of the ‘sleep_single_day()’ and ‘sleep_time_series()’ functions to account for an error case

fitbitViz 1.0.3

CRAN release: 2022-02-14

  • I modified the crop_DEM() internally and I removed the ‘CRS’ and ‘digits’ parameters.
  • By using the terra package the sp and exactextractr packages are not required
  • I modified the ‘rayshader_3d_DEM()’ function to accept a ‘long’ and ‘lat’ rather than an ‘x’ and ‘y’ pair of coordinates. I removed the ‘rst_bbx’ parameter because it’s no longer required
  • The workaround using the ‘meshgrids_XY_LatLon()’ function to define the ‘x’ and ‘y’ is no longer required after the adjustment of the ‘rayshader_3d_DEM()’ function. Thus, the ‘OpenImageR’ and ‘geodist’ packages are also no longer required.
  • I’ve added ‘rgdal’ in ‘Suggests’ otherwise the package fails on CRAN. I also received the following message from CRAN: “rgdal is installed but you failed to declare the dependence. See ‘Writing R Extensions’.”

fitbitViz 1.0.2

CRAN release: 2021-06-30

  • I’ve added the Dockerfile to build the image and I’ve modified the README.md file with instructions on how to use the image
  • I’ve modified the ‘rayshader_3d_DEM()’ function by adding the add_shadow_rescale_original parameter (it defaults to FALSE) because I received: Error: non-conformable arrays
  • I’ve modified the ‘meshgrids_XY_LatLon()’ function to suppress a warning due to the internal use of the ‘geodist::geodist()’ function
  • I’ve set ‘eval = FALSE’ to the last code snippet in the vignette (call to ‘rgl’) because I received ‘PhantomJS not found. You can install it with webshot::install_phantomjs()’ (the webshot package is not installed by default on CRAN)

fitbitViz 1.0.1

CRAN release: 2021-05-20

  • I’ve fixed an error in the leafGL_point_coords() function (I replaced the color with the fillColor parameter)
  • I’ve updated the README.md file with instructions on how to setup fitbitViz with blogdown and Github Actions
  • I’ve included the Github URL in the DESCRIPTION file

fitbitViz 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2021-05-18
