To Withings defense: At least to my experience they have the most open API going on: https://developer.withings.com/

Other players in the field like Garmin are super restricted.

For my own use case i swapped to Health Connect (Android) though. Whatever might happen with that.

Of course i am also appalled about this change and also the pretty much non-response from the customer service in the forum about this, no good arguments have been mentioned.

But there’s no need for the API at all. Scale to phone over BT then to Apple Health on the device. It’s the API that should be the add-on.

    In some cases, sensor data requires further transformation/processing. If you do it in the app, others who decompile your app can copy the implementation; if you put it behind an API, it makes it much harder.
