Yes it seems Google Fit will be going away in favour of “only on the device” like Apple does it. Hopefully someone will write a “HealthFit for Android” that can push the data to Intervals.icu.
This probably explains why Google suddenly decided Intervals.icu didn’t have to complete a painful security audit to continue using Google Fit.
The Google Fit APIs were terribly painful to work with and didn’t keep any timezone information for measurements (!), not Google’s finest product.
I read that the google fit API will no longer be available from May 2025 and will move to health connection. Wouldn’t it be nice to already have the ability to have synchronization with Health connection?
Thanks
Missing activities from google fit
Very impressed by intervals (coming from GoldenCheetah, equally impressive), or convenience I am testing using FitBit for tracking exercise (HR pretty OK compared to chest-bands), but unfortunately it appears activities are not imported from google fit (health connects) even though it is present in the google fit app (coming from fitbit), sleep, HR and other are updated from google fit to intervals.
Any hope of getting activities included ? (or am i doing it wrong)
I hoped for all data in google health connect to be synchronized
Hopefully this is a minor request, but I recently switched from Garmin to a Fitbit + Polar Flow combo, but noticed that step count dropped off. It looks like the google fit sync doesn’t include steps, when I’m sure other apps that integrate with Fit can pull this information.
+1 I’m recording weight using Withings and was using Google Fit to get the data in Intervals. This stopped working beginning 2024 and only investigated recently, and when talking to Withings they told me the API is shutting down and asked me to use Health Connect. None of historical data have been logged. So basically I’m looking for a way to get my weight data after each mesure, as well as the whole history. Thanks for any suggestion on this.
I input my weight to Garmin Connect. Check the Download Wellness Data option for Connect in intervals.icu settings to have it transferred. You can also edit which Wellness Fields you want brought into intervals.
Thanks for sharing your best practice yes if I input my weight manually in Garmin this would work the trick is how to get the data automatically from Withings!
