Google Fit Step Counter

Matt · February 6, 2022, 4:55pm

Hello, I’ve been playing (learning) Google FIT APIs and Developed this Basic Daily Step Counter/Display. The App requires a Google Client ID, App Secret and Oauth Refresh Token. Tidbyt part was pretty easy. Pulling the data out of Google took some learning. I run this every 30 mins via Cron so it keeps up to date. Enjoy and apologize in advance for the rookie coding style.

load("render.star", "render")
load("http.star", "http")
load("cache.star", "cache")
load("time.star", "time")

# The daily step goal - this determines the coaching message you receive
STEP_GOAL = 10000

# Enable Print statements for key data
DEBUG_ON = 1

GOOGLEFIT_DATASET_URL 		= "https://www.googleapis.com/fitness/v1/users/me/dataset:aggregate"

# Google Project Required Info for OAuth (******SECRETS - NEED TO MOVE OUTSIDE OF THIS SOURCE FILE BEFORE COMMITTING)
# Note to Developers: You need to create your own project in the Google developers console in order to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret.
# Obtaining a Refresh Token can be done via the Oauth playground (Manual) or must write server code to accept callback from the User/Browser Authenticaion Sequence.

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID 		= "XXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com"
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET		= "YYYYYY"
GOOGLEFIT_REFRESH_TOKEN 	= "ZZZZZZ"

You should submit this to the community repo to get published so that others can use it!

Thanks @AmillionAir and will definitely plan to do that once I make it easy for users to supply credentials for their Google account.

Be sure. To check out the available list of scema fields top help with that

# Schema
Schema provides structure for configuring apps. We use schema inside of the Tidbyt mobile app to allow configuring starlark applications and store the values inside of our database.

In order to supply fields to the mobile app, we call `get_schema()`. When a user saves the installation, we store the results in our database. Every time we render the app, we pass the values into the `config` key/value at the provided identifier.

> Note: Schema is for configuring apps submitted to [Community Apps](https://github.com/tidbyt/community). We're working on adding tighter integration into Pixlet so that pixlet commands make better use of schema.

## Quick Start
Let's add a toggle and a text input to our hello world example. Here it is before we add schema:
```starlark
load("render.star", "render")

def main():
    return render.Root(
        child = render.Text("Hello, World!"),
    )
```

This is a quick start, so let's start with the code and we'll break it down:

Thanks @AmillionAir - will check it out.

@AmillionAir - had a chance to dig through the documentation. Overall I get the jist of it and will get started this weekend. One piece of information I didn’t see. How do I test and debug with the Mobile app? I’m sure there will be a few debug cycles to sort out Schema and the Oauth sequence.

Hey Matt,

There is currently no de-bugging available for anything schema related, however @mark has shown off a few pics on discord and he is very close to having a finished real time editor made.

The best thing to do now is make the app with out schamas then add them in when its finished and just explain during your Pull Request on Github what it looks like and what its supposed to do. In all honesty id just wait for MArk to finish he is really freaking close to being done.

Also join our discord server if you have any other questions! Discord Server!
