How to export your google fit data

By Daniel Kim

Google Fit houses a range of your vital health data that you have recorded over the course of months or even years using your phone, which is why it’s key to frequently back it up. With Google’s data export tool, Takeout, you can extract a copy of your Google Fit in minutes. Here’s how to use it.

Head over to the Google Takeout website and sign in with your Google account. Click the “Deselect All” shortcut if you’re only interested in Fit and don’t want the archive to include copies of your data from the rest of the Google services.

Look for “Fit” in the list and check the box next to it.

Now, scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit the “Next Step” button.

Here, you can customize the backup process in a variety of ways. You can pick how you want Google to deliver the archive file to you, set up automatic exports every two months, the file type, and size.

Google will start extracting a copy of your Fit data. You don’t have to stick around as Google will let you know via email when it’s done. Depending on how much data you have accumulated on Fit, this can take days or even weeks.

You can also cancel the backup request with the “Cancel Export” option.

When Google is finished creating a copy of your data, you will get an email with the subject, “Your Google data is ready to download.”

Inside that email, click the “Download Your Files” button to access your archive file. Sign in again with your Google credentials for confirmation.

How to export your google fit data

Google Fit is a great way to keep track of your daily step count without needing to carry a Fitbit or other dedicated tracker. It’s not easy to get that data out though, as far as I can tell the only way is Google Takeout which is not made for automation. Luckily there is an API and you can do almost anything with Google Sheets.

If you’re looking to export your step count, weight and distance this post has everything you need, just follow the instructions below to get your spreadsheet up and running. This is also a good primer on using OAuth2 with Google Apps Script and should be a decent starting point for a more complex Google Fit integration. If you have any questions or feedback please leave a comment below.

To get started you need a Google Sheet, an apps script project attached to the sheet and a Google API Project that will provide access to the Fitness API. That might sound intimidating but it should only take a few minutes to get everything up and running.

In Google Drive create a new spreadsheet and call it whatever you like. Rename the first tab to ‘Metrics’. Enter ‘Date’ in cell A1, ‘Steps’ in B1, ‘Weight’ in C1 and ‘Distance’ in D1. To grab history as well create another tab called ‘History’ with the same headers. Next select ‘Script editor. ‘ from the Tools menu which will open a new apps script project.

Give the apps script project a name and then select ‘Libraries. ‘ from the Resources menu. Next to ‘Add a library’ enter 1B7FSrk5Zi6L1rSxxTDgDEUsPzlukDsi4KGuTMorsTQHhGBzBkMun4iDF and click Add. This will find the Google OAuth2 library. Choose the most recent version (24 at the time of writing) and click Save. Then select ‘Project properties’ from the File menu and make a note of the Script ID (a long series of letters and numbers).

Open the Google API Console. Create a new project and name it something like ‘Google Fit Sheet’. From the Dashboard click Enable APIs and Services and find and select the Fitness API. Then go to Keys and create an OAuth Client ID. You’ll be asked to create a consent screen, the only field you need to enter is the product name (i.e. ‘My Fit App’). Then choose Web Application as the application type. You need to set the name and the authorized redirect URL. The redirect URL is /usercallback replacing with the actual Script ID you made a note of above. After adding this make a note of the Client ID and Client Secret.

Go back to the apps script project and paste the code below into the Code.gs window:

Right at the top of the code there are spaces to enter the Client ID and Client Secret from the API Console. Enter these and save the project.

Switch back to your Google Sheet and reload. After reloading there will be a Google Fit menu item. First select Authorize. You’ll get a screen to authorize the script and then a sidebar with a link. Click the link to authorize the script to access your Google Fit data. You can then close the sidebar and select Get Metrics for Yesterday from the Google Fit menu. You should see a new row added to the spreadsheet with yesterday’s date and fitness data.

The final step is to automate pulling in the data. Go back to the apps script project and select Current project’s triggers from the Edit menu. Add a trigger to run getMetrics() as a time driven day timer – I recommend between 5 and 6am. You can also click notifications to add an email alert if anything goes wrong, like your Google Fit authorization expiring (in which case you just need to come back and authorize from the Google Fit menu again.

At this point you’re all set. Every day the spreadsheet will automatically update with your step count from the day before. You can add charts, moving averages, export to other systems, pull in your weight or BMI, etc. I want to add a seven day moving average step count to this blog somewhere as a semi-public motivational tool. watch this space.

Note that weight will be blank in the spreadsheet for days with no weight data. Google Fit doesn’t return the last known weight, only the known value for days where an update was recorded.

If you are looking to extend this sample to other data types then this API explorer page is very helpful for finding data types that the API documentation doesn’t list.

A couple of times working on this script I got my authorization in a bad state and started getting a 400 error response from the API. If this happens run your Google Fit app, click the Profile icon at the bottom and then the Settings icon at the top right. Click Manage connected apps and then disconnect the script from Google Fit. Finally run the Reset Settings option from the menu in the sheet and then authorize again.

I updated this post on Jan 21, 2019 to extend the sample to handle weight and distance as well as steps. I also improved the history function to handle many days in one API call rather than a quick hack I added earlier that pulled a day at a time. I’d recommend using the code above rather than anything included in comments below (at least comments before this update).

How to export your google fit data

Everyone knows Google makes really great software. With how well this company has been pushing out useful and interesting software, this isn’t up for debate. There is another debate, though, and when talking about this company, it’s unavoidable: data.

Google loves data. It’s more valuable than anything, especially during the age of the internet. With their health and fitness tool the company is now tracking how much you exercise, your weight, everything. For some this isn’t a big deal, and for others it is.

If you’re a fan of Google Fit but have recently decided that you’d rather not allow Google to know this type of information, you may want to read ahead. This article will go over how you can reclaim your fitness data from Google Fit for use elsewhere.

Google Takeout

Fit data can be downloaded by heading over to Google’s Takeout. Go to this accounts page first, and then navigate down to “Personal info” and privacy. After that, just click the “Control your content” option. This will bring you to the Control your content page.

How to export your google fit data

What we’re looking for here is a way to download and export data. Look for the Download your data box, and click the “create archive” option underneath it. Once you do that you’ll be presented with a list of Google services. They all have green sliders next to them.

Go down the list, and deselect each and every one of them except the one we want (Google Fit). Alternatively, you can also click the “select none” button, then just re-select the Google Fit option.

How to export your google fit data

Once you’ve selected Google Fit in the list, navigate to the bottom of the list, and then select “Next.” You’ll then be told that one product is selected and that you can customize the archive’s export format.

Keep the file type as .zip, as it’s usually the best cross-platform format. If .zip is not what you want, select .tgz or .tbz instead.

How to export your google fit data

Following this step it’s time to select the manner of delivery for this exported data. Google gives several options: download link via email, add to Google Drive, add to Dropbox and add to OneDrive. Select one of these options, then click the “create archive” button.

Once the archive creation begins, you’ll be greeted with a progress bar. You’ll need to wait, but it wont take long.

How to export your google fit data

When the process is completed and the data is ready, you’ll be presented with a download button. Remember, if you selected an alternative avenue of delivery, you should check those places for this data as well. For example, if you selected “Add to Dropbox,” go through the steps of adding this data directly to your Dropbox.

What can I do with this data?

Exporting your health data can be really useful, especially if you’ve decided to move on from using Google’s program and are going to use something a bit different. There are many, many places you could use this data. However, probably the most useful tool to sync your Fit Data with is Fitness Syncer. In short, it’s a tool that lets you take any data from one area and import it into another.

How to export your google fit data

If you’re not too keen on using Fitness Syncer, it’s also possible to just manually track your health statistics and information by importing it into Microsoft Excel or any other tool like it that accepts the file formats that Excel uses.

Conclusion

Google Fit is an incredible tool for those looking to stay in shape. However, due to the nature of Google and how they manage data, some users may be looking to move away from it and onto other health and fitness tools. There’s no shame in this, as Google isn’t the only show in town.

Are you a fan of Google Fit? If so, why? If not, what do you use instead? Tell us below!

The History API enables your app to perform bulk operations on the fitness store: reading, inserting, updating, and deleting historical health and wellness data. Use the History API to:

  • Read health and wellness data that was inserted or recorded using other apps.
  • Import batch data into Google Fit.
  • Update data in Google Fit.
  • Delete historical data that your app previously stored.

To insert data with session metadata, you can use the Sessions API.

Read data

Read detailed and aggregate data

To read historical data:

The data request can specify multiple data types to return, effectively combining multiple data queries into one call. This example only specifies the TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA data type. The data request can also indicate whether to return time-series data points or aggregated data points. This example uses aggregated data points where each DataPoint represents the number of steps walked in a day. For this particular use case, aggregated data points have two advantages:

  • Your app and the fitness store exchange smaller amounts of data.
  • Your app does not have to aggregate the data manually.

Your app can use data requests to retrieve lots of different types of data. The following example shows how to create a DataReadRequest to get calories burned for each activity performed within the specified time range. The resulting data matches the calories per activity as reported in the Google Fit app, with each activity getting its own bucket of calorie data.

After you create a DataReadRequest instance, use the HistoryClient.readData() method to asynchronously read historical data.

The following example demonstrates how to obtain the DataPoint instances from a DataSet :

Read daily total data

Google Fit also provides simple access to the daily total of a specified data type. Use the HistoryClient.readDailyTotal() method to retrieve the data type that you specify as of midnight of the current day in the device’s current timezone. For example, pass in the TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA data type to this method to retrieve the daily total steps. You may pass in an instantaneous data type that has an aggregate daily total. For more information on the supported data types, see DataType.getAggregatesForInput() .

Google Fit does not require authorization to subscribe to TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA updates from the HistoryClient.readDailyTotal() method when this method is called using the default account and no scopes are specified. This can be useful if you require step data for use in areas where you are unable to show the permissions panel (for example, Wear OS watch faces).

Users prefer to see consistent step counts across the Google Fit app, other apps, and Wear OS watch faces, as this provides them with a consistent and reliable experience. To keep step counts consistent, subscribe to steps in the Google Fit platform from your app or watch face, and then call this method every 30 seconds in interactive mode, and every 60 seconds in ambient mode. For more information on how to use this data in a watch face, see Showing Information in Watch Faces and the Android Watch Face sample application.

Insert data

To insert historical data, first create a DataSet instance:

After you create a DataSet instance, use the HistoryClient.insertData method to asynchronously add this historical data.

Manage conflicting data points

Each DataPoint in your app’s DataSet must have a startTime and an endTime that defines a unique interval within that DataSet , with no overlap between DataPoint instances.

If your app attempts to insert a new DataPoint that conflicts with an existing DataPoint instance, the new DataPoint is discarded. To insert a new DataPoint that may overlap existing data points, use the HistoryClient.updateData method described in Update data.

Update data

Google Fit lets your app update historical health and wellness data it previously inserted. To add historical data for a new DataSet , or to add new DataPoint instances that do not conflict with existing data points as described in Manage conflicting data points, your app should use the HistoryApi.insertData method.

To update historical data, use the HistoryClient.updateData method. This method deletes any existing DataPoint instances that overlap with DataPoint instances added using this method.

To update historical health and wellness data, first create a DataSet instance:

Then, use DataUpdateRequest.Builder() to create a new data update request, and use the HistoryClient.updateData method to make the request.

Delete data

Google Fit lets your app delete historical health and wellness data it previously inserted.

To delete historical data, use the HistoryClient.deleteData method:

Apps can provide specific sessions or delete all data. For more information, see the API reference for DataDeleteRequest .

Register for data updates

For data that comes from sensors, registering with SensorsClient lets your app read raw sensor data in real time.

For other types of data that are less frequent and are manually counted, like height, weight and workouts like weight lifting (see the full list here), your app can register to receive updates when these measurements are inserted into the Google Fit database using HistoryClient.registerDataUpdateListener .

An IntentService can be used to receive notifications of updates:

The IntentService must be declared in your AndroidManifest.xml file.

Fitbit is one of the main players in the fitness wearables market. The global fitness tracker industry is estimated to reach $62 million by 2023. Activity trackers provide more than just a dashboard of how many steps you’ve taken in a day; they are constantly collecting data. By exporting your Fitbit data to Excel, you can now analyze your personal data to achieve your health and fitness goals.

Understanding Your Fitness Tracker Data

Data is a string of numbers. It’s up to you to interpret it and apply it. Fitbit collects a range of data including your activity, sleep, steps, distance, calories burned, and active minutes. This information is all presented in an easy to digest format in the Fitbit app, but you can take it a step further. On top of this, Fitbit is actually constantly collecting a ton of data; you just have to know how to access it and use it.

You can find out your steps covered, calories burned, sleep stages, and heart rate, in data that goes back for months. By having an overview of all this data, you can monitor your progress weekly or monthly, and see where you need to make adjustments. For example, if the data tells you that you need to set a goal to improve your running speed, then you might shift more focus to developing your leg strength. After you’ve finished your Fitbit setup, connect the app. You’ll see that it’s starting to gather data, you can then look to export that data into an Excel spreadsheet.

You have the option to export your GPS data, community data, or even an entire archive of your account. Either export up to 31 days of recent data or a lifetime of account data. You can do this by going to your Fitbit dashboard and following these instructions from Fitbit.

What Data Can You Analyze to Improve Your Overall Health?

Whether you prefer a more discreet activity tracker or like to go all out with something such as the Fitbit Versa is entirely up to you. The data you collect can be separated into categories like activity, sleep, community, social, logs, and coach. If you want to focus on your activity and evaluate your progress, you can segment your data. Break it down into steps, distance, floors, heart rate, cardio fitness score, and more.

Wearable technology has changed the way we use data and information. Fitbit combed through a massive 149 billion hours of heart rate data from 10 million users. They found that users could lower their resting heart rate with simple lifestyle changes like getting seven hours of sleep every night, regularly exercising, and maintaining a healthy body mass index (BMI).

Export Fitbit Data to Improve Sleep Habits

Fitbit released what could be the biggest dataset of its kind to further understand how Americans sleep. It looked at six billion nights of sleep data to reveal just how well users sleep in America. You can probably guess their conclusion: their analysis concluded we’re not getting enough sleep.

Although this a large scale use of Fitbit’s data, you can analyze your own sleep data. Your sleep quality and duration are integral to your overall health, and for hitting the performance levels you need. By looking at your sleep patterns and consistency, you can make changes to your sleep routine or even just cut out caffeine after midday.

How to Use Your Google Fit Data

Whether you choose the Apple Watch or Fitbit, or the Wear smartwatch (formerly Android Wear), you’ve selected a good product—but your choice depends on what you hope to get out of this technology. Another way to stay on top of your fitness goals is to join the Google Fit ecosystem, pairing your smartphone or Wear smartwatch with Google Fit.

Google uses advanced sensors in your smartwatch and smartphone to figure out when you’re walking, jogging, running and more. Google Fit is supported by loads of third-party apps and devices so you don’t need to run out and buy a new Wear watch. Third-party apps include Nike+ Run Club, Calm, and Map My Fitness.

You can also map your workouts, pulling data from any wearables. It’s also possible to manually enter activities to keep a journal of your workouts. The Google Fit app widget on your phone home screen makes it easy to track your Move Minutes and Heart Points without having to go into the app. This feature of Google Fit is Android-only as Apple doesn’t support widgets.

Google Fit worked with the World Health Organization (WHO) to develop activity goals based on WHO’s recommendations for physical health. This is where Move Minutes and Heart Points come from. With Heart Points, you earn one point for every minute of moderate-intensity exercise. Google is all about data and Google Fit is no different; it pulls together data from several sources into one easy to understand dashboard.

Wellness Starts Today

Like all data, your fitness data is valuable. After you export your Fitbit data, you can use it to analyze your health and fitness in a way that can transform your overall well-being. If you can see that your sleep is inconsistent, you have the opportunity to do something about it. By making full use of fitness tracking technology like Fitbit or Google Fit, you have the ability to progress and meet your goals like never before.

Try Other Smart Devices

If you like the Fitbit, then you’ll love a smart scale. Try the FitTrack Dara scale or the Renpho scale. You can measure your weight and BMI, and you can track results on an app. On the other hand, if you’re not sold on the Fitbit, then have a look at other fitness trackers, like the Whoop Strap.
