MyFitnessPal Integration
I would like zenobase to connect to MyFitnessPal so I can track what I eat vs the amount of sleep and steps I take.
Would love to add direct support for MyFitnessPal, but they haven’t given us access to their API so far.
One way to get data from MyFitnessPal into Zenobase is via Jawbone; does that work for you?

Thank-you for the reply, have it working now. You are correct that the Jawbone Up app only grabs new data no history. For android users there are two Up apps in playstore one you need to own hardware this is the one for users not owning Jawbone Up hardware - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jawbone.upopen&hl=en
I posted over at MyFitnessPal asking about this and got a reply - http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/en/portal/questions/9904522-zenobase?new=9904522

Hello GotAFterIt,Thank you for taking the time to contact us. No, the MyFitnessPal API is not open.
We definitely plan on adding more integration partners to our program in the future. At this time, we do not know who those partners will be, but we will definitely take your recommendation into consideration when we do. I can see that you have contacted them already to let them know you wish to see the programs integrated, so thank you for that. I will pass along the request to the appropriate team.
For now, to view a list of our current partners, please visit: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps
In the meantime, thank you for using the program. Please let us know if you have any other problems or questions. We wish you all the success in reaching and maintaining your weight management and fitness goals.
Best,
Kelly

Shame API isn't open :/

Yes, you can install and use the Jawbone app without a Jawbone device. What I don't know is if Jawbone imports old data from MyFitnessPal, or only new data.

Was surprised I couldn't link MyFitnessPal, hope they get with the program api wise.
If one doesn't own a Jawbone tracker device can they still use it as a way to get MyFitnessPal data into ZenoBase?
