Can I access the phone's pedometer?

I searched the support forum for information about accessing step counts. Unfortunately the only posts I found were several years old and not answered. I am creating a game that is driven by walking in real life. Can I use Thunkable to access the pedometer’s data?

Hello @johnatcannon and welcome to the community :tada:
What type of app are you trying to build?

Hi @ioannis. Thank you for your reply.
I am building a game where the player must walk in real life to make progress in the game. I need access to either a) the phone’s pedometer data, or b) access to Google Fit or Apple Healthkit (or whatever they are currently called) to get step counts. For instance, if you have some number of steps X when you start the game and need to walk 1000 steps to reach the next spot in the game, then they the game will update when the player reaches X + 1000 steps. Make sense?
Also, it would be great if the phone has average number of daily steps.
I’ll check the docs you sent.

Brief update. I did see those docs. This provides pretty low level data that will have to be converted to steps. I’m hoping someone has already done that task.
