Dump to SQLite database
Robert Kosara
this is great work! I don't know what's taking so long for them to
release an API, but this is a great stop-gap. I've used the API to
download all my data since I got it towards the end of October last
year, works great.
I've cloned the repository and added a little script that dumps the
data into a sqlite database rather than CSV files. It takes the
filename for the database (SQLite works on a single, self-contained
file) from the config file. It's set up so it can be run for the same
day repeatedly and will add data as it's being added (because you
might not sync your fitbit all the time or even every day). It also
calculates daily sums for easier plotting of longer periods.

Best,

Awesome. I'm glad to see someone else has tried the code and it's
working out for them.

Dumping to SQLite is a great idea; thanks for implementing it! If you
don't mind, I'll go ahead and merge your script upstream to make sure
other people can find them. I'm sure other people would love the data
in SQLite (I know I'll start using it).
Thanks,
Wade
