Fitocracy API

About

This is a 3rd party API providing data for fitocracy.com.

Data provided via the API include variables such as, user progress, groups, profile imagery, follow counts etc.

This was developed to be used as a basic read-only API for profile data until Fitocracy provide an API, which I'm sure they will.

For any queries about how to use this, or any other comments/suggestions/feedback please contact me at jo@easyjo.com. or follow me @easyjo
