Fetch historic Garmin Connect data
Historic Data Backfill
When you connect a user to a Garmin Connect account, a historic data backfill will be automatically initiated. The backfill will fetch 90 days of historic data. It may take 15-30 minutes until you can see the data in Fitrockr.
A manual backfill is therefore only needed if no historic data has been received for a specific user during initial setup.
To manually request a historic data backfill, follow these steps:
(1) Go to https://admin.fitrockr.com on a web browser
(2) Enter your login and password
(3) Navigate to Users
(4) Search for the user who you want to fetch historic data
(5) Click on the user name
(6) Click on More Actions
(7) Choose between the following options to backfill data:
A – Request Garmin Dailies Backfill
This option will fetch historic all day totals from Garmin Connect.
B – Request Garmin Sleep Backfill
This option will fetch historic sleep data from Garmin Connect.
C – Request Garmin Body Comps Backfill
This option will fetch historic body composition data from Garmin Connect. This data is only available if a Garmin smart scale has been connected to the to the Garmin account.
D – Request Garmin Activity Backfill
This option will fetch historic activity data from Garmin Connect.
Historic Data Backfill
A backfill request will fetch 90 days of historic data. It may take 15-30 minutes until you can see the data in Fitrockr.
Important note: please do only request each backfill only once for each user. Requesting a backfill multiple times for the same user will block your Fitrockr platform from receiving any further historic data due to excessive use.
Contact Fitrockr Support if you need more than 90 days of historic data to be backfilled.
