Garmin Connect activity backup tool
===================================
``garminbackup.py`` is a program that downloads activities for a
given [Garmin Connect](http://connect.garmin.com/) account and stores
them in a backup directory locally on the user's computer. The first time
the program is run, it will download *all* activities. After that, it will
# About
`garminexport` is both a library and a utility script for downloading/backing up
[Garmin Connect](http://connect.garmin.com/) activities to a local disk.
The main utility script is called `garmin-backup` and performs incremental
backups of your Garmin account to a local directory. The first time
`garmin-backup` is run, it will download *all* activities. After that, it will
do incremental backups of your account. That is, the script will only download
activities that haven't already been downloaded to the backup directory.
The library contains a simple utility program, ``get_activity.py`` for
downloading a single Garmin Connect activity. Run ``./get_activity.py --help``
for more details.
The library also contains a ``garminclient`` module that could be used by third-party
projects that need to communicate over the Garmin Connect API. See the
Library Import section below for more details.
# Installation
`garminexport` is available on [PyPi](https://pypi.org/) and can be installed
with [pip](http://pip.readthedocs.org):
pip install garminexport
It requires Python 3.5+.
Prerequisites
=============
The instructions below for running the program (or importing the module)
assumes that you have Python 2.7 or Python 3+,
[pip](http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html), and
[virtualenv](http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html#installation)
(not required with Python 3) installed.
It also assumes that you have registered an account at
[Garmin Connect](http://connect.garmin.com/).
# Usage
Getting started
===============
Create and activate a new virtual environment to create an isolated development
environment (that contains the required dependencies and nothing else).
# using Python 2
virtualenv venv.garminexport
# using Python 3
python -m venv venv.garminexport
Activate the virtual environment
. venv.garminexport/bin/activate
Install the required dependencies in this virtual environment:
pip install -r requirements.txt
## Prerequisites
To be of any use you need to register an account at [Garmin
Connect](http://connect.garmin.com/) and populate it with some activities.
## As a command-line tool (garmin-backup)
Running
=======
The backup program is run as follows (use the ``--help`` flag for a full list
of available options):

Once started, the program will prompt you for your account password and then
log in to your Garmin Connect account to download activities to the specified
backup directory on your machine. The program will only download activities
that aren't already in the backup directory.

Activities can be exported in any of the formats outlined below. Note that
by default, the program downloads all formats for every activity. Use the
``--format`` option to narrow the selection.

Library import
==============
To install the development version of this library in your local Python
environment, run:
- `garmin-get-activity`: download a single Garmin Connect activity. Run with
`--help`for more details.
- `garmin-upload-activity`: uplad a single Garmin Connect activity file (`.fit`,
`.gpx`, or `.tcx`). Run with `--help`for more details.
`pip install -e git://github.com/petergardfjall/garminexport.git#egg=garminexport`
If you prefer to use a `requirements.txt` file, add the following line
to your list of dependencies:
## As a library
`-e git://github.com/petergardfjall/garminexport.git#egg=garminexport`
To build your own tools around the Garmin Connect API you can import the
`garminclient` module. It handles authentication to establish a secure session
with Garmin Connect. For example use, have a look at the command-line tools
under [garminexport/cli](garminexport/cli).
and run pip with you dependency file as input:
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
# Contribute
To work on the code base you need (besides the basic prerequisites outlined
above) to have [pipenv](https://github.com/pypa/pipenv) installed. Create a
`virtualenv` (an isolated development environment) and install the required
dependencies like so:
make venv
# or similarly: pipenv install
