Introduction

The fitparse module is a Python library for parsing ANT/Garmin .FIT files.

The FIT (Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer) file protocol is specified by ANT in its FIT SDK. It's a common file format used internally on embedded fitness computers, for example on the Edge and Forerunner series of Garmin products.

Usage Examples

Here's a simple program to print all the record fields in an activity file:

from fitparse import FitFile


fitfile = FitFile('/home/dave/garmin-activities/2012-12-19-16-14-54.fit')

# Get all data messages that are of type record
for record in fitfile.get_messages('record'):

    # Go through all the data entries in this record
    for record_data in record:

        # Print the records name and value (and units if it has any)
        if record_data.units:
            print(" * %s: %s %s" % (
                record_data.name, record_data.value, record_data.units,
            ))
        else:
            print(" * %s: %s" % (record_data.name, record_data.value))
    print()
