Python withings-api

Python library for the Withings Health API

Withings Health API https://developer.withings.com/oauth2/

Uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate. You need to obtain a client id and consumer secret from Withings by creating an application here: http://developer.withings.com/oauth2/

Installation

pip install withings-api

Usage

For a complete example, checkout the integration test in scripts/integration_test.py. It has a working example on how to use the API.

from withings_api import WithingsAuth, WithingsApi, AuthScope
from withings_api.common import get_measure_value, MeasureType

auth = WithingsAuth(
    client_id='your client id',
    consumer_secret='your consumer secret',
    callback_uri='your callback uri',
    mode='demo',  # Used for testing. Remove this when getting real user data.
    scope=(
        AuthScope.USER_ACTIVITY,
        AuthScope.USER_METRICS,
        AuthScope.USER_INFO,
        AuthScope.USER_SLEEP_EVENTS,
    )
)

authorize_url = auth.get_authorize_url()
# Have the user goto authorize_url and authorize the app. They will be redirected back to your redirect_uri.

credentials = auth.get_credentials('code from the url args of redirect_uri')

# Now you are ready to make calls for data.
api = WithingsApi(credentials)

meas_result = api.measure_get_meas()
weight_or_none = get_measure_value(meas_result, with_measure_type=MeasureType.WEIGHT)

Building

Building, testing and lintings of the project is all done with one script. You only need a few dependencies.

Dependencies:

• python3 in your path.
• The python3 venv module.

The build script will setup the venv, dependencies, test and lint and bundle the project.

./scripts/build.sh

Integration Testing

There exists a simple integration test that runs against Withings' demo data. It's best to run this after you have successful builds.

Note: after changing the source, you need to run build for the integration test to pickup the changes.

./scripts/build.sh
source ./venv/bin/activate
./scripts/integration_test.py --client-id <your client id> --consumer-secret <your consumer secret> --callback-uri <your clalback uri>

The integration test will cache the credentials in a <project root>/.credentials file between runs. If you get an error saying the access token expired, then remove that credentials file and try again.
