Receiving Data via Webhooks
Fitbit data is updated in real-time. Once a user connects their account, you will receive a webhook event with the data. You can also query the data via our API. New data in most cases for Fitbit is provided in real-time. Vital guarantees all new data to be available within 15 mins of the data being recorded. A refresh for new Fitbit data can also be requested via our refresh API.

This means you can query historical data for any user via HTTP requests and receive historical data prior to connecting devices using Vital.
