Earlier today I attempted to compile my fit files from Zwift to download from the Activities tab in ZwiftPower. I get the notification that the zip file has been created. When I click the link that was e-mailed and the click the button to download the archive on ZwiftPower, I get an error message ‘access denied’. I am able to download individual .fit files, but I have quite a few and it would save a lot of time by downloading a Zip file. I haven’t started the research yet, but I think other than downloading files, I would look for an API to connect to ZwiftPower to grab the data, is that possible?
Thanks! Unfortunately I am using an Apple TV for my setup. I read that there is an option to email the files in the app that I thought I would try. It’s really about the initial data export, keeping track of rides after I wouldn’t mind downloading my individual rides. Out of curiosity, would a fresh install of the app, ‘download’ the ride history as well? If it did, I would just install on my device I am doing my data work on to grab those files when needed.
Got It, I kind of figured the ride history was being stored locally. One of my roles for day work involves data analysis/creating dashboards/machine learning (So I am a data nerd, everything is data :D) I want to be able to chart my ride data along with other data that I might have available that is relevant (ie. daily calorie intake, multiple weight-ins., food diary, etc.). I also want to be able to use that data to assist in planning my upcoming rides. I’ve already have methods for incorporating that data into the ride data (I did a test a few months ago before I knew about ZwiftPower). I created an API to grab my Strava data, unfortunately when I tested it was only returning the previous 30 activities. I hadn’t had the opportunity to see if I can fix that, but once I learned about ZwiftPower, I thought that would save some steps, eliminating the need for an API.
Wow! Excel by hand for 15 years (whew). I’ve been experimenting with Microsoft/Office 365 as a whole, there are some nice tools available to create UI (Power Apps) to drop in data so it doesn’t feel like a chore. I would technically then have ability send myself notifications to enter my supplemental info once it knew I completed a ride. I will check out Cheetah in my research. I created a script in Postman to fetch the data. At the early stage I was going to do all of my translations right in Power BI, until I knew what specific data I wanted, then do the work in Python to automate retrieval and computation. It was quite odd that Strava was only returning the last 30 activities. I thought I would be able to bulk download, but not the way I thought. I couldn’t find any documentation on the Strava API that indicated it would limit the return. I don’t have a lot of pre-Zwift data in Strava, but I thought it would nice to see how far I’ve come since those days. I just got a new smart scale this week which reinvigorated my interest in doing this exercise.
BTW, when right clicking the link and ‘Save File As…’ from a Windows 10 PC failed as well. It seems to be a malformed hostname. ‘Edge notes the hostname couldn’t be found’ when I check the error created. When I get a moment I will see if I can figure out if it is typo I can correct.
I only did it by hand until cycling computers and watches got the function to download data. I don’t miss the days of manually typing everything into excel.
Yes I realized that the file is broken once you do the save file as.
