Wellness API Sync Frequency
A reference for how often we sync new data from our integrated Wellness sources
Types
Notification – near real-time data delivery. Human API continuously collects data upon receiving notifications that new data is available. Device’s local processing time may vary by source/manufacturer.
Scheduled – data delivered on pre-defined intervals as described under “Frequency.”

Some sources sync only when needed
For integrations that rely only on notifications for sync (e.g. iHealth), Human API will update the /sources response "synchedAt" value only when a notification is ingested.
