Sync activity names from Garmin to Strava.

Before installation, please read through the https://github.com/cyberjunky/python-garminconnect repo and https://developers.strava.com/docs/authentication/ to understand how Garmin and Strava authentication work, respectively.

Step 1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/santheipman/python-garminconnect.git

Step 2. Install the dependencies

cd python-garminconnect
python3 -m venv venv
pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt

Step 3. Register your application in order to use it to access/modify your data on Strava: https://developers.strava.com/docs/getting-started/#account

Step 4. Create .env file and paste your client_id and client_secret from Step 3 into it. The .env looks like this

GARSYNC_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
GARSYNC_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

Step 5. Open this link in your browser to authorize your application to read and write your data on Strava. Remember to use your client_id in the link.

http://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=your_client_id&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost/exchange_token&approval_prompt=force&scope=activity:write,activity:read_all

Step 6. After Step 5, you will be redirected to another url. Copy the code from that url and replace your_code in request the access token

curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/token \
  -F client_id=your_client_id \
  -F client_secret=your_client_secret \
  -F code=your_code \
  -F grant_type=authorization_code

Step 7. Paste the response from Step 6 into ~/.strava_token file.

Step 8. Login into Garmin by running

python3 login_garmin.py

Run

python3 sync.py

You can utilize crontab to schedule to script to run periodically.

Run crontab -e and add this line to run the script at every 15 minutes. Remember to specify your SCRIPT_PATH.
