Param2Clipboard
A MacOS application to grab an argument and set system Clipboard as per argument text.
How it works?
Under the hood it’s invoking pbcopy as below:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
#!/bin/bash if [[ -z "$1" ]] then osascript -e 'display notification "Nothing copied!" with title "Param2Clipboard"' else echo "$1" | pbcopy osascript -e 'display notification "Parameter copied to the Clipboard!" with title "Param2Clipboard"' fi |
The script has been wrapped into MacOS app using Platypus:
Eventually, registered required URL Types in Info.plist. Unfortunately, it was a manual process which has to be repeated every time when a new app is created using Platypus:
Why created?
Created to improve workflow when opening Microsoft Skype or Lync meetings.
Flow I’m using:
Broswer Fairy configuration
In order to capture opening of Skype/Lync URLs, I’m using Browser Fairy which is registered as a default app to open all URLs. Each URL is matched against defined list of patters and if a Skype URL is detected, the URL is passed to Param2Clipboard app.

Withings to Garmin Connect – resurrection
After dropping “legacy” APIs on Withings page, the script stopped to work…
It took quite a while to adjust it to OAuth2 but finally – it’s done!
Go to https://github.com/jaroslawhartman/withings-garmin-v2 to download the script.
References
- Based on withings-garmin by Masayuki Hamasaki, improved to support SSO authorization in Garmin Connect 2.
- SSO authorization derived from https://github.com/cpfair/tapiriik
Pre-requisites
- Python 3
- ‘Requests: HTTP for Humans’ (http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/)

Usage

Obtaining Withings Authorization Code
When running for a very first time, you need to obtain Withings authorization:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
$ ./sync.py -f 2019-01-25 -v Can't read config file config/withings_user.json *************************************** * W A R N I N G * *************************************** User interaction needed to get Authentification Code from Withings! Open the following URL in your web browser and copy back the token. You will have *30 seconds* before the token expires. HURRY UP! (This is one-time activity) https://account.withings.com/oauth2_user/authorize2?response_type=code&client_id=183e03e1f363110b3551f96765c98c10e8f1aa647a37067a1cb64bbbaf491626&state=OK&scope=user.metrics&redirect_uri=https://wieloryb.uk.to/withings/withings.html& Token : _ |
You need to visit the URL listed by the script and then – copy Authentification Code back to the prompt.
This is one-time activity and it will not be needed to repeat.
Tips
You can hardcode your usernames and passwords in the script (sync.py):
|
1 2 |
GARMIN_USERNAME = '' GARMIN_PASSWORD = '' |
For advanced users – registering own Withings application
The script has been registered as a Withings application and got assigned Client ID and Consumer Secret. If you wish to create your own application – feel free!
- First you need a Withings account. Sign up here.
- Then you need a a Withings developer app registered. Create your app here.
Note, registering it is quite cumbersome, as you need to have a callback URL and an Icon. Anyway, when done, you should have the following identifiers:
| Identfier | Example |
|---|---|
| Client ID | 183e03.................765c98c10e8f1aa647a37067a1......baf491626 |
| Consumer Secret | a75d65.................4c16719ef7bd69fa7c5d3fd0ea......ed48f1765 |
| Callback URI | https://jhartman.pl/withings/notify |
Configure them in config/withings_app.json, for example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
{ "callback_url": "https://wieloryb.uk.to/withings/withings.html", "client_id": "183e0******0b3551f96765c98c1******b64bbbaf491626", "consumer_secret": "a75d65******1df1514c16719ef7bd69fa7*****2e2b0ed48f1765" } |
