[WM24] Question about API Integration

Hello everyone,

So I have a question, is it possible to integrate APIs into an app we are currently building? Because in my app we are building a function that would record data like steps taken, heart beat, blood pressure, etc. either from phone sensors or external devices, so I am planning to integrate Google Fit's API into my app, is this possible or do I have to use a REST webservice for it?

When I look at the API from Google i can see you can either use it by OAuth2.0 or REST
Both of them are feasible with integrated functions by Windev! REST can be easily imported by its wsdl file.

is there no direct integration? Or am I mistaking it with SDK (which google fit has as well)

sorry I am kinda out of my element here so I appreciate the explanation

Yes, they are to seperate designs. An API (Application Programming Interface) is an interface which defnies interaction between software inermediaries.
Therefore no additional is required from the application as with a SDK.
The Google Fit API uses OAuth2.0 for its authorization and REST for its data access as seen on the developer page.

Have a look at:

Thanks for the information Koen, I'll give OAuth a try to connect between google fit and a test app I am making
