## How to export your Apple Health data, and read the file

On iPhone, open the Health app, tap Summary, tap your picture or initials, then tap Export All Health Data and choose how to share the file. Apple's iPhone User Guide says this exports all of your health and fitness data from Health in XML format. Apple's guide describes no web download, and HealthKit is read by apps on the device rather than through a web API. To look inside the file without uploading it, open it in this site's in-browser Apple Health explorer or one of the pandas notebooks linked below.

## How to export your Health Connect data on Android

Health Connect exports through Settings: search Health Connect, then Manage data, Backup and restore, Scheduled export. Google says the data is bundled in a zip file and saved to a cloud storage provider of your choice, on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule, and that the feature needs Android 14 and up. The file is named "Health Connect.zip" by default and is meant to be imported into Health Connect on another device; Google does not document its contents as a format for analysis, and health records are not included.

## How to download your personal data from Samsung Health

- Question: how to download Samsung Health data

In the Samsung Health app, tap More options (the three vertical dots), then Settings, then Download personal data, then Download, allow the permissions it asks for and enter your Samsung account details. Samsung's support page says the files are then in My Files, Downloads, in a Samsung Health folder on the phone. Samsung's page does not state the file format. Erase personal data, on the same settings screen, deletes your Samsung Health data from the phone and Samsung's server, so download first.

## How to get your own data out of Garmin Connect

Garmin's developer site now offers a Personal tier: secure access to your own Garmin Connect data, where you log in to the Garmin Connect website to retrieve a personal API key and generate access tokens, with activity data as JSON and FIT, health and women's health data as JSON, pull only. Garmin's account-wide data export could not be verified for this page: Garmin's support and account pages could not be read from where it was written. Of the two Python libraries people search for, garth's README says it is deprecated and new logins will not work.

## How to export your Fitbit and Google Health data

- Question: how to export Fitbit data

It depends on how you sign in. Google's Google Health help page says that if you sign in with a Google Account, you download your data with Google's standard download (Google Takeout) with Google Health selected. If you still use a Fitbit login, you open the Fitbit settings page, click Data Export, and under Export Your Account Archive click Request Data, then confirm by email and download from a second email. GPS workouts export one at a time as TCX from the Google Health app. For code over your own account, the Fitbit Web API's Personal app type reads only the developer's own data, intraday included.

## How to export your Oura data

Log in to Oura's Membership Hub, select Export data, then Request your data. Oura's support article says this option is available for all Oura users, with or without active membership, that it may take up to 10 days before the data is ready, and that Oura emails you when it is. Durations in the download are in total seconds, not hours and minutes. Oura also offers Shareable Reports (a PDF summary) and the Oura API, whose documentation now marks personal access tokens as deprecated.

## How to download all your data from Polar Flow

Sign in at account.polar.com, click Download your data in the left-hand menu, then click Download. Polar emails you when the data is collected and gives you two weeks to download it. Polar says the export contains the data you provided and most of the data from your Polar devices and apps, but nothing derived by Polar's algorithms, so activity and sleep information are not included. For code, Polar's AccessLink API documentation says any registered Polar Flow user can create an API client.

## How to export your Strava data: one activity or your whole account

- Question: how to export Strava data

For everything, log in on Strava.com, open Settings, then My Account, select Get Started under Download your account, then Request download; Strava emails a download link, which it says may take a few hours. For one activity, use Export Original from the activity page's more menu (often a FIT file), Export GPX, or add /export_tcx to the activity URL for TCX. Strava says exporting is only available on the website. For code, every new Strava API app starts in single-player mode, where only your own account can authenticate.

## How to export workouts from the Suunto app: FIT or GPX

- Question: export workouts from Suunto app
- HTML: https://aifitnessapi.com/own-your-data/suunto-export
- Markdown: https://aifitnessapi.com/own-your-data/suunto-export.md
- Last reviewed: 2026-11-05

In the Suunto app, open a workout, tap the three dots in the top right corner, pick a format and save or share the file. Suunto says a FIT file includes all the relevant information from your workout (location, time, timestamps, heart rate, power, cadence) and is the preferred format; a GPX workout has location and time and, where available, heart rate; and exercise recordings without GPS can only be exported as FIT. Suunto's FAQ documents no account-wide bulk export, and this site's Suunto pages record that Suunto does not offer its API for personal use.

## How to bulk export your COROS data

- Question: COROS bulk export
- HTML: https://aifitnessapi.com/own-your-data/coros-export

- Last reviewed: 2026-11-05

Log in to COROS Training Hub from a desktop computer, click the Activity List tab, and select Export Data on the right side of the screen; COROS asks for a file format, either .FIT or .TCX, and an email address to receive the files, and says other file types are not supported. Single workouts export from the COROS app as FIT or GPX. Sleep and daily data such as heart rate are not in the bulk export: COROS says to request them from support in the app, with a date range.
