APIVia phone health platform · 5/25 points
No cloud API; data stays in HealthKit on your iPhone, readable by apps you authorise. The Health app can export all health data as an archive.
🔌 Official API
- There is no cloud/web API. HealthKit is an on-device iOS framework: apps you authorize, per data type, can read and write it on your iPhone.
- For any server-side use you need an iOS app that reads HealthKit and pushes the data out.
