Feature request - export body metrics

[Mark10]

Hi,
thanks for the export tool, works perfectly.
Would it be possible to add the export of body metrics to the script?
Today the export is done manually:
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/userprofile-service/userprofile/personal-information/weightWithOutbound/ with optional filter "filterByDay?from=1483228800&until=1527807599999"
than paste it in https://json-csv.com/ to make it readable/editable in Excel. Source: https://www.alunr.com/exporting-weight-data-from-garmin-connect/

Target should be a csv file with the following format, wich can be used with GoldenCheetah for example:
https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/master/test/bodymeasures/bodymeasures-format-example-ts.csv

Thanks
Mark

Hello @Mark10

At the heart of the current script are the activities; an export of data linked to an activity can quite easily be added. As far as I can see, the body metrics are not linked to activities, but rather to dates, so it doesn't quite fit with the current script.

A rather ugly workaround would be to query the body metrics for the date of each activity and add the desired values as possible columns to the CSV, then you could write a CSV template for the GoldenCheetah format. The disadvantages would be that there would be no body metrics for days where you didn't register an activity and for days with multiple activities there would be multiple body metrics. And a day with an activity but no body metrics would still be exported, just with empty body metrics...

Hi Peter,

thanks for your feedback. What about a second query if e.g. option "-metrics 27" is set, wich will download the metrics for the last 27 days?

Im not a programmer, but with some copy and paste a managed to export the metrics json file "metrics.json".

Next step would be to convert it to csv. Maybe with a separate python script.

Here are the 9 lines I've added:
Added to line 127
URL_GC_METRICS = 'https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/userprofile-service/userprofile/personal-information/weightWithOutbound/'

Added to line 541
def extract_metrics(args, http_caller, file_writer):
"""
Download json metrics
"""
metrics_json = http_caller(URL_GC_METRICS)
file_writer(args.directory + '/metrics.json', metrics_json, 'w')
return None

Added to line 879
extract['metrics'] = extract_metrics(args, http_req, write_to_file)

To piggyback on this comment thread - how difficult would it be to access sleep and step data using this script? Works great for activities, very useful!!!

Just want to bring this up again and see if any progress has been made on it.

There is https://github.com/cyberjunky/python-garminconnect which enables download of health data.
