Download Fit file instead of GPX

[nikinicole]

Hello everyone,
I am a researcher @university and I'm currently using this package to obtain gpx data. Is there a possibility to obtain also the .fit file so that I can also gather info the overall activity?

Thanks,

Hi,

You can use the "-f original" argument to export the files in their original format (see fourth example in the readme). This is frequently .fit but obviously depends on how the data was recorded.

Allow me to elaborate a bit, @nikinicole. @joetimmerman is right with the -f original argument, but it is not enough, you also need the -u option (-f original -u), as -f original downloads a ZIP file with the FIT file in it and -u then unzips it
