GarminDB VS circalizer

How are you syncing/storing the data?

I've been a Garmin user for nearly a decade and would really like to get the data off their platform so I can do more with it.

There are a few self-hosted options (https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB seems like the best) but I keep kicking that can down the road.

You may want to check out https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB if you're using a newer (Elevate v4 or v5 sensor) Garmin device.

https://graphhopper.com/maps/ is an amazing product that is open source, but it just does routing (with GPX download). I wish it had a little PostGIS data browser that I could write into via routes I draw on the map, or I upload (or import from other devices using something like GarminDB or similar). That, and adding arbitrary points, would be great. Just a simple, general-purpose map authoring tool. I just feel like I'm missing something, it seems like this would exist already.

If you are just interested in getting the data, GarminDB works really well.

Have a look at GarminDB. It allows you to download all your activity files.

I found this https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB, it looks like the thing you're talking about. However it doesn't use "the" API or a API: It web-scrapes the data from your "Daily Summary" page on Garmin Connect. It can also import data that has been exported (manually) from Garmin Connect. Neither of these two are an API.

Ah, sorry I thought I had linked GarminDB in my post. It's a set of python scripts for downloading fitness and health data from Garmin Connect or a Garmin device via USB and importing into a SQLite database. The idea is then to visualize/analyze the data with something like Jupyter.

This tool is for Peloton -> Garmin. I personally haven't tried to export Garmin -> X myself as I haven't had the need yet, but there seems to be a few repos where I'd start looking: * https://github.com/petergardfjall/garminexport * https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB

There's a project up on Github called GarminDB that can export the data from their web API to .json format. From that format any programming language or the jq tool can slice and dice the data into any other format. For example: I made a script that can convert sleep start & wake times from the .json data into .csv.

That reminds me of something I'd like to mention: I actually started working on some things in a fork of the circadiaware/circalizer repo. My plan was to add some proof-of-concept support for converting and importing basic sleep data from GarminDB JSON files.
