I’m interested in getting better, current script does the job but I’m really unsure regarding
- Quality of overall structure & comments
- Error handling
- Possibility the add testing (what and how should I test?)
here is the script
# This script runs through your Garmin Connect activities (New->Old) and saves them as CSV import json import csv import requests from http.cookies import SimpleCookie # To get started open garmin connect in Google Chrome, log in and grab the id of your latest activity as in https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/<START_ID> START_ID = 2399797019 # Paste it here END_ID = 0 # Id to stop at if you've run this script before, leave 0 otherwise # Then, press F12, click on "Network", press F5, scroll to the very first element, it will have your <START_ID> as name. Click on it and copy the whole value of "Cookie" in Headers > Request Headers RAW_DATA = 'SESSION=63497e03-bcbc-4...' cookie = SimpleCookie() cookie.load(RAW_DATA) cookies = {} for key, morsel in cookie.items(): cookies[key] = morsel.value # Crawl politely, leave a way for them to contact you headers = { 'User-Agent': 'Some hobbyist runner and pythonista trying to bulk extract CSVs, get in touch if you have an issue with this', 'From': 'you@domain.com' } def get_previous_activity_id(activity_id): url = 'https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/activity-service/activity/{}/relative'.format(activity_id) r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, cookies=cookies) try: previous_activity_id = r.json()["previousActivityId"] return(previous_activity_id) except KeyError: print('Issue getting the key ["previousActivityId"] for activity with id {}'.format(activity_id)) return KeyError def export_activity_laps(activity_id): url = 'https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/download-service/export/csv/activity/{}'.format(activity_id) r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, cookies=cookies) try: with open('data/activities/{}.csv'.format(activity_id), 'w') as temp_file: temp_file.writelines(r.content.decode('utf-8')) return True except Exception as e: print('Issue writing the csv file for activity {}'.format(activity_id)) return e def export(activity_id): previous_id = get_previous_activity_id(activity_id) export_activity_laps(activity_id) if previous_id and previous_id != END_ID : export(previous_id) else: print("Finished exporting") def main(): export(START_ID) if __name__ == '__main__': main()
