PHP Garmin Connect

A fork of php-garmin-connect that allows to display your personal records year by year on running races.

It's a quick & dirty but functional work! See the online demo

Getting started

Create a .env file with the followings:

GARMIN_SINCE=2017
[email protected]
GARMIN_PASSWORD=your-password

• GARMIN_SINCE describes the first year from which you want to request data (e.g from 2017 to current year).
• GARMIN_USERNAME & GARMIN_PASSWORD are just your Garmin credentials (Garmin Connect).

Run composer install to install dependencies and open index.php on a browser.

The first display could take a moment, especially if you want to grab many years/distances.

Then, data are cached in data/records.json to avoid unnecessary Garmin's crawls (use query string ?refresh param to flush cache, see Tweak section).

How it works?

It'll make a request on Garmin Connect for each year and distance (+/-2%) you want to collect and take the best time effort, that's it!

We also collect some other useful data including:

• id: the id of your activity (https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/{id})
• date: the start date of the race (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss)
• distance: the exact distance traveled (in meters)
• time: the formatted duration (hh"mm'ss or mm'ss if shorter than an hour)
• pace: the formatted average pace (mm'ss per 1 kilometer)
• speed: the average speed (km/h)
• cals: calories burned
• hr: the average heart rate (bpm)
• cadence: the feet pace (per minute)

{
	"42200": {
		"2021": {
			"duration": 10633.774002075195,
			"data": {
				"id": 6702582078,
				"date": "2021-05-01 09:00:00",
				"distance": 42410,
				"time": "02\"57'13",
				"pace": "04'10",
				"speed": 14.4,
				"cals": 2668,
				"hr": 167,
				"cadence": 189
			}
		}
	}
}

Data

The page displays:

All time PB

Personal best of all time.

Line chart

A chart with your personal records grouped by year on all the classic distances (5k, 10k, half & marathons).

History

It also displays a summary with more data for all events.

Tweak

If you want to remove/add some distances, feel free to edit these lines:

• label is the human label used to describe the race distance
• color.alias is the Boostrap color class used on cards "Personal Best" section.
• color.hex is the hexadecimal value used on the chart (could be the same than Bootstrap but not necessary).

If you want to refresh data:

• ?refresh to force refresh current year
• ?refresh=all to force refresh all years

All credits to David Wilcock for his great library, I only adapted this one to allow searching on specific filters (not possible on the base solution) and collected/aggregated data.
