RunKeeper Client API

Installation

RunKeeper is available from rubygems.org.

$ gem install run_keeper

Usage

require 'run_keeper'

runkeeper = RunKeeper.new 'client_id', 'client_secret'
runkeeper.authorize_url 'http://your.com/callback/url'
# => 'https://runkeeper.com/apps/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=client_id&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fyour.com%2Fcallback%2Furl'

runkeeper.token = runkeeper.get_token 'authorization_code_value', 'http://your.com/callback/url'

# return the users profile
runkeeper.profile
# => RunKeeper::Profile

Fitness Activities

Fitness Activities (http://developer.runkeeper.com/healthgraph/fitness-activities) are a list of past activities completed by a user. Calling fitness_activities without any options will get all activities since the user signed up to RunKeeper.

runkeeper.fitness_activities
# => [RunKeeper::Activity, ...]

Fitness Activities takes a series of arguments in the form of an options hash. Supported arguments: start, finish and limit:

# Get all activities starting from the 1st Jan, 2011
runkeeper.fitness_activities(:start => '2011-01-01')

# Get all activities between 1st Jan, 2011 and 1st Feb, 2011
runkeeper.fitness_activities(:start => '2011-01-01', :finish => '2011-02-01')

# Get the last 10 activities
runkeeper.fitness_activities(:limit => 10)

Dates

RunKeeper doesn't store users time zones, they rely on the device sending the information for the correct time. Because of this I have decided to format all dates as UTC.

Using RunKeeper mock requests in your App

While developing RunKeeper a few mocked responses were used and have been made available for your test suite.

# helper.rb
require 'run_keeper/mock_requests'
include MockRequests

Errors

All errors are a wrapper around the OAuth2::Error class. Errors will be raised on all requests that do not return a 200 or 304 response code.

Final Notes

Do not be afraid to open up the source code and peek inside. The library is built on top of the wonderful OAuth2 gem and should be fairly easy to debug.
