Upload Workout to Dailymile

Tweet

Dailymile.com is one of the premier website to share your training with your friends. They provide apis to build application. I wrote a small code to upload my runkeeper data to dailymile.com. And this is how I did.

1. Register one application with dailymile.com as mentioned at http://www.dailymile.com/api/consumers/new.
2. Get access token as documented at http://www.dailymile.com/api/documentation/oauth.
3. Write a small code like following to extract data from a csv file and post it to dailymile.com using REST APIs as documented at http://www.dailymile.com/api/documentation

#!/usr/bin/python
from datetime import datetime, date, time
import httplib, urllib, string, datetime, sys


csvFile = open("test.csv", 'r')
for line in csvFile.readlines():
stringTokens = line.split(',')
timeTokens = stringTokens[4].split(':')
timetaken=(int(timeTokens[0])*60+int(timeTokens[1]))*60+int(timeTokens[2])
actDat = datetime.datetime.strptime(stringTokens[1], "%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S").strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
para = '{"oauth_token":"<Your Auth Code Goes here>", "message": "'+stringTokens[7].strip() + '", "workout": {"activity_type":"'+ string.lower(stringTokens[2]).strip() + '", "distance": {"value": ' + stringTokens[3] + ', "units":"kilometers"}, "duration": '+ str(timetaken) + ', "title":"' + stringTokens[1].strip() + '", "completed_at":"' + actDat +'" }}'
print para
headers = {"Accept": "application/json", "Content-type": "application/json"}


conn=httplib.HTTPSConnection("api.dailymile.com")
conn.request("POST","/entries.json", para, headers)
r1=conn.getresponse()
print r1.status, r1.reason
print r1.read()
conn.close()
