Export Google Fit Daily Steps, Weight and Distance to a Google Sheet

Hi Andrew, for older data see the date logic at the top of getSteps (i.e. setDate(start.getDate()-1)). By changing the two -1 values to -2 you'd get the day before yesterday. You could pass a parameter into getSteps for the number of days ago and then loop through as much history as you need. For calories it looks like com.google.calories.expended is probably the right dataSourceId. See the previous couple of comments for a discussion of getting weight, this would be a similar adaptation.

Hi There,

I'm a total idiot with programming but was able to follow your steps. Thanks so much!

Is there a way I can get historical data and also data for calories burnt?

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Vinay, I just experimented with this and I think you need to make two changes. For dataSourceId you need derived:com.google.weight:com.google.android.gms:merge_weight and then when reading the weight it's in fpVal rather than intVal in the JSON response. I got this working with a modified copy of my existing script (I'm just doing a weight version, not attempting to read weight and steps at the same time). Hope this helps, good luck!

This script works for me but when I try to get weight data it fails in getting response.

I am using below for weight

"dataTypeName": "com.google.weight.summary",

"derived:com.google.step_count.delta:com.google.android.gms:merge_weight"

On the response line I get "datasource not found error" error

Thank you!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this up. Well done and I have my project up and running!

Very helpful, works great for me. Thanks for taking time to post this!!

Rob, you do need the Google Fit API to be enabled in the API console. I'm not clear if you've done this or not from the mention of not having a GCP account. If you happen to come back to this and need help feel free to email me at [email protected] and let me know where you're getting stuck.

Gustavo, the API is linked to in the comment right above the getSteps() function in the code sample.

I'm having trouble at the same point as Dan. Everything works until clicking 'Authorize' in the sidebar in Google sheets - after clicking 'Allow' I get a page stating 'Authorization is required to perform that action.'

I should note that I don't have a GCP account - though that didn't stop me from authorizing the API.

I did note that there is a Google Sheets Add on called 'Fit Sync' that looks very similar and worked for me. I haven't had a chance to dig into the difference.
