Setup

1. Install dependency

pip install garminconnect

2. Set credentials (choose one method)

Option A -- Environment variables:

export GARMIN_EMAIL="you@example.com"
export GARMIN_PASSWORD="yourpassword"

Option B -- CLI args:

python3 garmin_health.py --email you@example.com --password yourpassword

Option C -- macOS Keychain:

security add-generic-password -a "you@example.com" -s "garmin_connect" -w "yourpassword"

Option D -- Credentials file:

echo -e "email=you@example.com\npassword=yourpassword" > ~/.garmin_credentials
chmod 600 ~/.garmin_credentials

3. Set region (China accounts only)

If your Garmin account was registered in China, add this to your shell profile (

~/.zshrc

/

~/.bashrc

) once:

export GARMIN_IS_CN=true

This tells the skill to use

connect.garmin.com.cn

instead of the global endpoint -- more reliable for mainland China IPs and prevents 429 rate-limit errors. Skip this step if you have a global Garmin account.

4. First run

First login may require MFA verification. You'll be prompted to enter a code sent to your email.

5. Use with OpenClaw

Ask your AI agent:

• "Show my health data"
• "How did I sleep last night?"
• "What's my HRV?"
• "Am I overtraining?"

Usage

# Fetch today's data (default)
python3 garmin_health.py

# Fetch specific date
python3 garmin_health.py --date 2026-03-16

# Show latest cached data
python3 garmin_health.py --show

# Use Garmin Connect CN endpoint (Chinese accounts / mainland China IP)
python3 garmin_health.py --cn

# With credentials
python3 garmin_health.py --email you@example.com --password pass

Data Storage

• ~/.garmin_health/YYYY-MM-DD.json

  -- Daily snapshots

• ~/.garmin_health/latest.json

  -- Most recent fetch

• ~/.garminconnect/

  -- OAuth token cache

Override with env vars:

• GARMIN_DATA_DIR

  -- Change data directory

• GARMIN_TOKENSTORE

  -- Change token cache directory

• GARMIN_IS_CN=true

  -- Use Garmin Connect CN endpoint (set once in shell profile)

Supported Languages

All labels and output in English. JSON field names are English by design.

Security & Privacy

• Your credentials only -- this skill authenticates with Garmin Connect using your own account credentials. No credentials are shared with or stored by this skill.
• Local storage only -- all fetched health data is saved as JSON files on your own machine. No data is sent to any third party.
• Token caching -- after first login, an OAuth token is cached locally (

  ~/.garminconnect/

  ). Subsequent runs reuse this token and do not re-send your password.
• Recommended auth -- use macOS Keychain or environment variables rather than

  --password

  CLI flag to avoid password exposure in shell history.
• Official API only -- all requests go directly to

  connect.garmin.com

  (or

  connect.garmin.com.cn

  for CN accounts). No proxies or intermediaries.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

• garminconnect

  library
• A Garmin Connect account
• Device: Any Garmin watch/fitness tracker synced to Garmin Connect
