Data Coverage

Category	Fields
Activity	Steps, distance, calories (active + BMR), floors, intensity minutes
Heart Rate	Min/max/resting heart rate
Sleep	Duration, score, deep/light/REM/awake breakdown, stress during sleep
HRV	Last night avg, 5min peak, weekly avg, status (balanced/unbalanced), baseline
Body Battery	Current level, daily min/max
SpO2	Average and minimum blood oxygen
Respiration	Waking and sleep breathing rate
Stress	Average/max, rest/low/medium/high duration breakdown
Training Status	Overreaching/Highly Active/Productive/Maintaining/Recovery/Detraining + acute/chronic load ratio
Training Readiness	Score (0-100)
Fitness Metrics	VO2 Max, fitness age, endurance score, hill score
Race Predictions	5K/10K/Half/Marathon predicted times
Weight/Body Comp	Weight (kg), body fat %, BMI (requires Garmin Index scale)
Hydration	Intake (ml) vs goal
Activities	Individual workouts with HR, duration, calories, elevation, training effect
Weekly Summary	Total/avg steps for the week

Setup

1. Install dependency

pip install garminconnect

2. Set credentials (choose one method)

Option A -- Environment variables:

export GARMIN_EMAIL="[e-mail]"
export GARMIN_PASSWORD="yourpassword"

Option B -- CLI args:

python3 garmin_health.py --email [e-mail] --password yourpassword

Option C -- macOS Keychain:

security add-generic-password -a "[e-mail]" -s "garmin_connect" -w "yourpassword"

Option D -- Credentials file:

echo -e "email=[e-mail]\npassword=yourpassword" > ~/.garmin_credentials
chmod 600 ~/.garmin_credentials

3. Set region (China accounts only)

If your Garmin account was registered in China, add this to your shell profile (~/.zshrc / ~/.bashrc) once:

export GARMIN_IS_CN=true

This tells the skill to use connect.garmin.com.cn instead of the global endpoint -- more reliable for mainland China IPs and prevents 429 rate-limit errors. Skip this step if you have a global Garmin account.

4. First run

First login may require MFA verification. You'll be prompted to enter a code sent to your email.

5. Use with OpenClaw

Ask your AI agent:

• "Show my health data"
• "How did I sleep last night?"
• "What's my HRV?"
• "Am I overtraining?"

Usage

# Fetch today's data (default)
python3 garmin_health.py

# Fetch specific date
python3 garmin_health.py --date 2026-03-16

# Show latest cached data
python3 garmin_health.py --show

# Use Garmin Connect CN endpoint (Chinese accounts / mainland China IP)
python3 garmin_health.py --cn

# With credentials
python3 garmin_health.py --email [e-mail] --password pass

Data Storage

• ~/.garmin_health/YYYY-MM-DD.json -- Daily snapshots
• ~/.garmin_health/latest.json -- Most recent fetch
• ~/.garminconnect/ -- OAuth token cache

Override with env vars:

• GARMIN_DATA_DIR -- Change data directory
• GARMIN_TOKENSTORE -- Change token cache directory
• GARMIN_IS_CN=true -- Use Garmin Connect CN endpoint (set once in shell profile)

Supported Languages

All labels and output in English. JSON field names are English by design.

Security & Privacy

• Your credentials only -- this skill authenticates with Garmin Connect using your own account credentials. No credentials are shared with or stored by this skill.
• Local storage only -- all fetched health data is saved as JSON files on your own machine. No data is sent to any third party.
• Token caching -- after first login, an OAuth token is cached locally (~/.garminconnect/). Subsequent runs reuse this token and do not re-send your password.
• Recommended auth -- use macOS Keychain or environment variables rather than --password CLI flag to avoid password exposure in shell history.
• Official API only -- all requests go directly to connect.garmin.com (or connect.garmin.com.cn for CN accounts). No proxies or intermediaries.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• garminconnect library
• A Garmin Connect account
• Device: Any Garmin watch/fitness tracker synced to Garmin Connect
