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.

Obtaining Withings Authorization Code

When running for a very first time, you need to obtain Withings authorization:

$ ./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):

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:

Configure them in config/withings_app.json, for example:

{
    "callback_url": "https://wieloryb.uk.to/withings/withings.html",
    "client_id": "183e0******0b3551f96765c98c1******b64bbbaf491626",
    "consumer_secret": "a75d65******1df1514c16719ef7bd69fa7*****2e2b0ed48f1765"
}
