Unexpected HTTP error (503)

[tymmej]

Hi,

I'm using latest version of script.
I get
raise Exception('Failed. Got an unexpected HTTP error (' + str(e.code) + ').') Exception: Failed. Got an unexpected HTTP error (503).
when trying to run script. Last week everything was working.

I tried putting url (url_gc_gpx_activity + a['activity']['activityId'] + '?full=true) and I get
The requested endpoint is retired

URL for downloading through browser is https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/download-service/export/gpx/activity/12691xxxxxx

[kjkjava]

Uh oh! The URL you provided works for me (replacing the xxxxxx, of course). To clarify, does it work for you, too?

[tymmej]

The url used by script (http://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-service-1.1/gpx/activity/) does not work.

[frechina]

@tymmej you're right. It does not work.

any idea about how to fix it?

[tymmej]

Using same url as browser?
I haven't tried that and don't know if there's any difference in .gpx files.

[frechina]

I tried but it does not work.
it seems that some info in the cookie is needed.

Maybe @kjkjava can help us

[tymmej]

Or User-agent

[frechina]

@tymmej @kjkjava
I partially fixed the issue by:

• Changing http://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-service-1.1/tcx/activity/12691xxxxxx by https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/download-service/export/tcx/activity/12691xxxxxx by
• And passing the User-agent in the GET call

However, I'm getting the following error message when getting some tcx (I don't know why)
{"message":"java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to java.util.Map","error":"ClassCastException"}

[ebrensi]

The endpoint http://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-service-1.1/gpx/activity has been "retired" (deprecated) apparently.

If what you want is GIS coordinate data, you can get that directly as JSON using their activityDetails endpoint,
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/activity-service-1.3/json/activityDetails/{activityID},

which is more efficient than downloading a GPX file and parsing it anyway.

[tymmej]

@frechina can you share patch?

[frechina]

@tymmej I think @ebrensi approach is the best way to fix this.
Maybe @ebrensi can share with us how to parse the activityDetails json

[tymmej]

@frechina
GPX has points every second, JSON every ~40.
And I want to have GPX files. It's easier to share them with others (various online visualizers, import to Strava or Endomondo...). Also in case I will resign from using Garmin Connect having GPX files will be better.

[ebrensi]

@tymmej your comment about data point frequency is interesting. I assumed the points would be the same regardless of file format, and never bothered to look. Can someone confirm this?

I got the idea for using the json endpoint from Tapiriik, in this file
https://github.com/cpfair/tapiriik/blob/master/tapiriik/services/GarminConnect/garminconnect.py

?maxSize=999999999 to get all points.

I managed to make this work using the 1.2 API:
https://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-service-1.2/rest.activity.activityIdValue.html

I only made a change to the tcx line (I'm importing historical data to Strava) pull request added:

[tymmej]

@thedbexp That's not resolving for other filetypes: for gpx "endpoint is retired".

[jsanpedro]

GPX download was not working for me, changing the url_gc_gpx_activity to
url_gc_gpx_activity = 'https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/download-service/export/gpx/activity/'

solved the issue for me

[frechina]

I'm getting error on this url which gets activities

http://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-search-service-1.0/json/activities

guys, does it work for you ?

[ebrensi]

I think Garmin just shut down this endpoint. It could have been because of me. I just applied for access t to the Wellness API through the Garmin developer program (http://developer.garmin.com/wellness-api/overview) and in my application I mentioned my app and the informal API I'm using. Then a few days later it no longer works.

The reply I got from them, by the way, was

Thank you for your interest in the Garmin Developer Program. A publically available data privacy policy is a requirement to enter into the Developer Program. Once you have a publicly available data privacy policy, and are actively engaging end-users, please feel free to reapply at that time. Thanks!

[moderation]

I don't believe the endpoint is down. When in a browser and logged into Garmin Connect I can load https://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-search-service-1.2/json/activities?start=0&limit=1 successfully. I think they must have changed the required cookie or auth headers in a way that is breaking the code. I haven't worked it out yet.

[frechina]

@moderation you're right. However I checked all the login process and seems so similar than before

[frechina]

I got it. You need to call these endpoint at the end of the login process

GET 'http://connect.garmin.com/modern';
GET 'https://connect.garmin.com/legacy/session';

[moderation]

@frechina That worked! Amazing. How did you work that out? My heavily modified but working fork is at https://github.com/moderation/garmin-connect-export if anyone is interested.

[frechina]

@moderation I used interceptor (from Postman) to capture all request made during Garmin login process. Then, after inspecting such amount of request I realised that the important ones were /modern and /legacy/session ;)

[johannesh83]

@moderation Awesome https://github.com/moderation/garmin-connect-export working out of the box. I just needed to replace the old one with yours. Merci for the fork

[TobiasGirschick]

thx a lot!

[fjgal]

Thanks everyone for finding the solution to the issues and implementing the fixes. I created a pull request containing the authentication and activity download fixes (no refactoring). I'm aware there were already forks working but I wanted to see if this could be merged into @kjkjava upstream repo.

Meanwhile you can use clone my fork https://github.com/fjgal/garmin-connect-export

[elena321]

the service to get details of activity doesn't work any more (The requested endpoint is retired):
https://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-service-1.3/json/activity/XXXXXXXXXXX
Is there any new version of it?

[emtoonst]

Could it be this?
https://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-service/activity/XXXXXXXX/
