How to retrieve raw activity data from Suunto App

Right now Suunto App can export data in FIT format, it contains all the data, but is different from what you used to have in SuuntoLink folder

At the moment, when I export an S9 activity from MovesCount in FIT file those FIT files don’t contain pauses for example, so they don’t “contain all the data” like you say. Do you know if that’s the case from the FIT files coming from the Suunto App ? If it’s the case, I am not interested.

[pavel.samokha]

@Frederic I think yes, it should contain pauses. Suunto App FIT files is more complex than MC ones, doc is here https://apizone.suunto.com/fit-description

Thanks for the doc, indeed it seems to support pauses. I will see when I use the app I guess

One more thing…
When you say that the Suunto App can export data in FIT format, are you saying that a user can export one file at a time (like in Movescount) or that it is an automated process ?
Personally, I am not interested exporting one file at a time when I have 10+ activities per week. Hence the trick from @Mff73 to sync to a dropbox folder automatically.

[pavel.samokha]

@Frederic I think it’s possible to make auto-sync of FIT files from Suunto App to Dropbox using Suunto App and Dropbox APIs, but requires some coding.

@pavel-samokha Bummer… Then I’d rather go with @Mff73 easier solution.

Thanks!

and @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

could it be possible that something like DropBox (or any personal user cloud service) be considered in SA like a Suunto third party Partner, and thus enable automatic fit file sync to personal cloud ?

[pavel.samokha]

@Mff73 from user standpoint (I mean me as a user) I think it’s nice idea. But as partner - don’t know, need some altruist like Dimi to implement such service. May be it’s better to request such feature from partners we already have - RunGap and SyncMyTracks - or may be they already have such feature?

@pavel-samokha
Thanks.
Correct me if i am wrong, but Syncmytracks currently only get TCX or GPX files from Sportstracker and it is not true SA data export (it is just “fake” SA like sportstracker renamed export). Or maybe it has changed.

[pavel.samokha]

@Mff73 oh, it seems that you’re right, I didn’t know they still using ST instead of official Suunto API. Someone should tell them.

Done.
Let see.

Or to request from a service like Tapiriik that already connect services to Dropbox (example : Garmin Connect with Dropbox) ?
