title: Can I get real-time data on my steps through Google Fit REST API?
body: <p>At the moment I need to develop a mobile application that should be a fitness tracker. I am thinking about using REST API instead of Android API, but I don’t quite understand how in this case automatic data collection on the steps taken from my device will occur.</p>
  
  <p>I understand that I can request information about the completed steps for some time, for example, for the last month, as shown in the documentation. </p>
  
  <p>But what allows the application in this case to automatically access the "raw" information from the sensors and give it to Google Fit, as it happens in the Android API? And show me my steps in real-time.</p>
