Google Fit APIs - at High level

Google Fit APIs 

Fit is an open platform that lets users control their fitness data, developers build smarter apps, and manufacturers focus on creating amazing devices.

The main target of these APIs are 

Discover Sensors => Easily view available sensor data sources from connected apps and devices with the Sensors API.
Collect Activity Data => Connect your app and devices to Google Fit with the Recording API.
Help users keep track => Access and edit the user's fitness history with the History API.

Below are major components of the Fit ecosystem 

1. The Fitness Store => A central repository that stores data from a variety of devices and apps. The fitness store is a cloud service that is transparent to clients.
2. The Sensor Framework => A set of high-level representations that make it easy to work with the fitness store. You use these representations with the Google Fit APIs.
3. Permissions And User Controls => A set of authorization scopes to request user permission to work with fitness data. Google Fit requires user consent to access fitness data.
4. Google Fit APIs => Android and REST APIs to access the fitness store. You can create apps that support Google Fit on multiple platforms and devices, such as Android, iOS, and Web apps.
