TrainingPeaks

Pull real-time training plans, workouts, fitness metrics (CTL/ATL/TSB), and personal records from TrainingPeaks. Uses cookie-based authentication (no API key needed). Use in conjunction with other endurance, cycling, running or swimming triathlon coach skills for best results.

TrainingPeaks Skill

CLI access to the TrainingPeaks internal API. Pure Python stdlib — no pip dependencies.

Setup: Getting Your Auth Cookie

1. Log in to TrainingPeaks in your browser
2. Open DevTools → Application → Cookies → app.trainingpeaks.com
3. Find the cookie named Production_tpAuth
4. Copy its value (long encoded string)

Then authenticate:

bash

python3 scripts/tp.py auth "<paste_cookie_value_here>"

Or set the environment variable (useful for CI/scripts):

bash

export TP_AUTH_COOKIE="<cookie_value>"

Credentials are stored in ~/.trainingpeaks/ with 0600 permissions.

Commands

auth <cookie> — Authenticate

Store and validate a Production_tpAuth cookie. Exchanges it for a Bearer token and caches the athlete ID.

#   Athlete ID: 12345

Token Management

• Bearer tokens are cached in ~/.trainingpeaks/token.json
• Tokens expire in ~1 hour; auto-refreshed from stored cookie
• Cookie lasts weeks; stored in ~/.trainingpeaks/cookie
• If the cookie expires, you'll get a clear error to re-authenticate

File Locations

File	Purpose
~/.trainingpeaks/cookie	Stored Production_tpAuth cookie
~/.trainingpeaks/token.json	Cached OAuth Bearer token + expiry
~/.trainingpeaks/config.json	Cached athlete ID and account info

Notes

• All dates use YYYY-MM-DD format
• Maximum workout query range: 90 days
• Rate limiting: 150ms minimum between API requests
• TP_AUTH_COOKIE environment variable overrides stored cookie
• Default output is human-readable; --json gives raw API responses
