Garmin Connect Skill#

Sync all your Garmin fitness data to Clawdbot:

• 🚶 Daily Activity: Steps, heart rate, calories, active minutes, distance
• 😴 Sleep: Duration, quality, deep/REM/light sleep breakdown
• 🏋️ Workouts: Recent activities with distance, duration, calories, heart rate
• ⏱️ Real-time sync: Every 5 minutes via cron

Quick Start#

1. Install Dependencies#

bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. OAuth Authentication (One-time)#

bash

python3 scripts/garmin-auth.py your-email@gmail.com your-password

This saves your OAuth session to ~/.garth/session.json — fully local and secure.

3. Test Sync#

bash

python3 scripts/garmin-sync.py

You should see JSON output with today's stats.

4. Set Up 5-Minute Cron#

Add to your crontab:

bash

*/5 * * * * /home/user/garmin-connect-clawdbot/scripts/garmin-cron.sh

Or manually:

bash

*/5 * * * * python3 /home/user/garmin-connect-clawdbot/scripts/garmin-sync.py ~/.clawdbot/.garmin-cache.json

5. Use in Clawdbot#

Import and use in your scripts:

python

from scripts.garmin_formatter import format_all, get_as_dict

# Get all formatted data
print(format_all())

# Or get raw dict
data = get_as_dict()
print(f"Steps today: {data['summary']['steps']}")

Features#

✅ OAuth-based (secure, no password storage) ✅ All metrics: activity, sleep, workouts ✅ Local caching (fast access) ✅ Cron-friendly (5-minute intervals) ✅ Easy Clawdbot integration ✅ Multi-user support

Data Captured#

Daily Activity ( summary)#

• steps: Daily step count
• heart_rate_resting: Resting heart rate (bpm)

• active_minutes: Intensity minutes
• distance_km: Distance traveled

Sleep ( sleep)#

• duration_hours: Total sleep time
• duration_minutes: Sleep in minutes
• quality_percent: Sleep quality score (0-100)
• deep_sleep_hours: Deep sleep duration

• heart_rate_avg: Average heart rate
• heart_rate_max: Max heart rate

Cache Location#

By default, data is cached at: ~/.clawdbot/.garmin-cache.json

Customize with:

bash

python3 scripts/garmin-sync.py /custom/path/cache.json

Troubleshooting#

OAuth authentication fails#

• Check email/password
• Disable 2FA on Garmin account (or use app password)
• Garmin servers might be rate-limiting — wait 5 minutes

No data appears#

1. Sync your Garmin device with the Garmin Connect app
2. Wait 2-3 minutes for data to sync
3. Check that data appears in Garmin Connect web/app
4. Then run garmin-sync.py again

Permission denied on cron#

bash

chmod +x scripts/garmin-cron.sh
chmod +x scripts/garmin-sync.py
chmod +x scripts/garmin-auth.py

Cache file not found#

Run garmin-sync.py at least once to create cache:

bash

python3 scripts/garmin-sync.py

Usage Examples#

python

from scripts.garmin_formatter import format_all, get_as_dict

# Get formatted output
print(format_all())

# Get raw data
data = get_as_dict()
if data:
    print(f"Sleep: {data['sleep']['duration_hours']}h")
    print(f"Steps: {data['summary']['steps']:,}")
