Kafka Connect REST Source and Fitbit Source

This project contains a Kafka Connect source connector for a general REST API, and one for Fitbit in particular. The documentation of the Kafka Connect REST source still needs to be done.

Fitbit source connector

Installation

This repository relies on a recent version of docker and docker-compose as well as an installation of Java 17 or later.

Usage

Generally, this component is installed with RADAR-Kubernetes. It uses Docker image radarbase/kafka-connect-rest-fitbit-source.

First, register a Fitbit App with Fitbit. It should be either a server app, for multiple users, or a personal app for a single user. With the server app, you need to request access to intraday API data.

For every Fitbit user you want access to, copy docker/fitbit-user.yml.template to a file in docker/users/. Get an access token and refresh token for the user using for example the Fitbit OAuth 2.0 tutorial page.

For automatic configuration for multiple users, please take a look at scripts/REDCAP-FITBIT-AUTH-AUTO/README.md.

Copy docker/source-fitbit.properties.template to docker/source-fitbit.properties and enter your Fitbit App client ID and client secret. The following tables shows the possible properties.

If the ManagementPortal is used to authenticate against the user repository, please add an OAuth client to ManagementPortal with the following properties:

Client ID: fitbit.user.repository.client.id
Client Secret: fitbit.user.repository.client.secret
Scope: SUBJECT.READ MEASUREMENT.CREATE
Resources: res_restAuthorizer
Grant types: client_credentials
Access Token validity: 600
Refresh Token validity: 0

Finally set the fitbit.user.repository.oauth.token.url to http://managementportal-app:8080/managementportal/oauth/token.

Now you can run a full Kafka stack using

docker-compose up -d --build

Inspect the progress with docker-compose logs -f radar-fitbit-connector. To inspect data that is coming out of the requests, run

docker-compose exec schema-registry-1 kafka-avro-console-consumer \
  --bootstrap-server kafka-1:9092,kafka-2:9092,kafka-3:9092 \
  --from-beginning \
  --topic connect_fitbit_intraday_heart_rate
