[sugestion] gps data in flow polar "webservice" #59

Closed matheuseduardo closed 8 years ago

matheuseduardo commented 8 years ago

As you said that doesn't have position data (https://github.com/pcolby/bipolar/wiki/Getting-the-Data-from-the-Flow-Web-Service), if you only change "range" for "map" in URL you got, you can access GPS information.

Look, change this: https://flow.polar.com/training/analysis/16240876/range/data

by this: https://flow.polar.com/training/analysis/16240876/map/data

(sorry for my bad english)

and good luck :) nice work!

Thanks @matheuseduardo, you are indeed correct. I have a Bash script that pulls all GPX, TCX and CSV files from flow.polar.com by scraping the site. However, I this sort of approach is brittle, to say the least (easily broken by Polar), and I dare say likely to face some opposition from Polar if it was to be used often by many people... not sure where to go with that currently.
