Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality

4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.

main.py:35-44

401
errors.
10.

readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

What's NOT stored
What's NOT stored
The DB only captures a narrow slice of what Garmin provides. Things fetched but
not stored
:
Sleep stages (deep / REM / light / awake breakdown)
SpO2, HRV, respiration during sleep
Stress levels
Body battery
Activities / workouts
Resting HR (only per-minute readings go in, not the summary)
The
sleep_processing.py
utility in the project already knows how to parse all the sleep detail — it's just never wired to the DB. If you want richer sleep data stored, that's the main gap to fill.

Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.

4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.

. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.

HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.

main.py:35-44

re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.

—
demo.py
imports

.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

What's NOT stored
What's NOT stored
The DB only captures a narrow slice of what Garmin provides. Things fetched but
not stored
:
Sleep stages (deep / REM / light / awake breakdown)
SpO2, HRV, respiration during sleep
Stress levels
Body battery
Activities / workouts
Resting HR (only per-minute readings go in, not the summary)
The
sleep_processing.py
utility in the project already knows how to parse all the sleep detail — it's just never wired to the DB. If you want richer sleep data stored, that's the main gap to fill.

UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps

GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.

sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

What's NOT stored
What's NOT stored
The DB only captures a narrow slice of what Garmin provides. Things fetched but
not stored
:
Sleep stages (deep / REM / light / awake breakdown)
SpO2, HRV, respiration during sleep
Stress levels
Body battery
Activities / workouts
Resting HR (only per-minute readings go in, not the summary)
The
sleep_processing.py
utility in the project already knows how to parse all the sleep detail — it's just never wired to the DB. If you want richer sleep data stored, that's the main gap to fill.

Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt

demo.py
imports

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env

— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.

4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.

Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

What's NOT stored
What's NOT stored
The DB only captures a narrow slice of what Garmin provides. Things fetched but
not stored
:
Sleep stages (deep / REM / light / awake breakdown)
SpO2, HRV, respiration during sleep
Stress levels
Body battery
Activities / workouts
Resting HR (only per-minute readings go in, not the summary)
The
sleep_processing.py
utility in the project already knows how to parse all the sleep detail — it's just never wired to the DB. If you want richer sleep data stored, that's the main gap to fill.

Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

What's NOT stored
What's NOT stored
The DB only captures a narrow slice of what Garmin provides. Things fetched but
not stored
:
Sleep stages (deep / REM / light / awake breakdown)
SpO2, HRV, respiration during sleep
Stress levels
Body battery
Activities / workouts
Resting HR (only per-minute readings go in, not the summary)
The
sleep_processing.py
utility in the project already knows how to parse all the sleep detail — it's just never wired to the DB. If you want richer sleep data stored, that's the main gap to fill.

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps

7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep

,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.

9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.

9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.

Docker isn't accessible from this shell session, so I can't query the live DB. But I can answer fully from the code.
UI
UI
Only FastAPI's built-in Swagger UI
— no custom frontend exists.
Once the service is running, open in browser:
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/docs
— interactive Swagger UI, lets you call all endpoints
http://<your-nas-ip>:8007/redoc
— alternative docs view
That's the only UI. There's no dashboard, no charts, no frontend.

2. Duplicate data on repeated runs

main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.

4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.

duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.

HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.

9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44

Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect

Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.

Service Overview
Service Overview
This is a
Garmin Connect data pipeline
— a FastAPI service that:
Authenticates to Garmin Connect using your credentials
Fetches health/fitness data (sleep, steps, heart rate) via the unofficial
garminconnect
Python library
Stores it in a local PostgreSQL database
Runs on Docker (port
8007
)

Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Issues & Improvement Suggestions
Critical
Critical
1. Credentials exposed in
.env
Your Garmin password is stored in plaintext in
.env
.env
— add
.env
to
.gitignore
immediately if this repo is ever pushed to git.
2. Duplicate data on repeated runs
main.py:58-93
main.py:58-93
—
fetch_and_store()
blindly
db.add()
s every time it runs. Calling
/fetch-today
twice creates duplicate rows for the same date. You need an upsert pattern (
ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
or check-before-insert).
3. Scheduler time comment is wrong
main.py:101-103
main.py:101-103
— the code schedules at
hour=15, minute=25
but the comment says "03:00". Pick one and fix both.
Missing Functionality
Missing Functionality
4. No read endpoints for stored DB data
There are no
GET /sleep
,
GET /steps
,
GET /heartrate
endpoints. You can write data to the DB but have no API to query it back — you'd have to connect to Postgres directly.
5. No backfill endpoint
There's no way to fetch and store data for a past date range via the API. A
GET /fetch?date=2025-05-01
or
GET /backfill?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-05-25
endpoint would be useful.
6.
sleep_processing.py
is never used
sleep_processing.py
sleep_processing.py
is an impressively detailed utility that builds minute-by-minute sleep timelines with SpO2, HRV, stress, body battery, respiration — but it's never called anywhere. It should either be wired into a
/sleep-processed
endpoint or removed.
Data Model Gaps
Data Model Gaps
7. Sleep model loses detail
models.py:6-13
models.py:6-13
— the
Sleep
table only stores
start
,
end
,
duration_minutes
. It drops sleep stages (deep/REM/light/awake), SpO2, HRV, respiration — all the interesting data.
sleep_processing.py
already parses all of this.
8.
HeartRate
rows volume
Storing per-minute HR readings means ~1440 rows/day. Consider storing only the summary (resting HR, max HR, average) unless you actually need the per-minute data downstream.
Code Quality
Code Quality
9. Session management is fragile
main.py:35-44
main.py:35-44
—
get_client()
re-logs in based on wall-clock time (1 hour TTL), but Garmin's session can expire for other reasons (rate limiting, server-side logout). There's no retry on
401
errors.
10.
demo.py
depends on
readchar
not in
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
requirements.txt
—
demo.py
imports
readchar
which isn't listed, so
pip install -r requirements.txt
won't cover it. Either add it or keep a separate
requirements-dev.txt
.
Summary:
The core pipeline works, but the biggest wins are: (1) add read endpoints for the DB, (2) fix duplicate-insert issue, (3) wire in
sleep_processing.py
for richer data, and (4) add a backfill endpoint for historical data.
