[Feature Request] Accept FitoTrack HTTP POST

[wills106]

FitoTrack has the ability to automatically export a GPX workout at the end of the workout and send it to a server.

Would it be possible to accept these requests?
I have my Workout-Tracker behind a Nginx proxy so I can securely expose Workout-Tracker to the outside world.

I think this would be a cleaner solution than exporting to a folder and then having an additional app running to export it to the server. You wouldn't need something running on the server to except file uploads either.

I never saw that option in fitotrack; thanks for telling me about this! I'm using syncthing for this, but will look into the post! The API is now usable (to fetch statistics), adding a Post route should be easy.

[jovandeginste]

Just noticed fitotrack does not support adding headers; I'm curious if it supports basic auth in the URL...

I don't know if this helps, but it seems to be a relay for accepting FitTrack POST and forwarding the GPX on to Nextcloud?

@wills106 please test and give feedback!

Tried single user so far and it's fine, still need to check a second user to confirm their API key redirects their workout to them and not me for example.

But I have noticed a change in the last 24hrs seems to have decoupled the start and end times for workout.

This was ok yesterday before I updated. But the speed doesn't start with the elevation.

First test of the HTTP upload

Also noticed on "branch master 8175c70" there is a bit of lag moving the mouse up and down on the workouts page.

Just on e820e48 now and I'm still getting the Speed / Elevation mismatch.

On the workouts page you can initially move the mouse up and down and it doesn't highlight a row in the yellowish colour. It will then register on one and a few seconds later start to catch-up and highlight other rows.

[jovandeginste]

The mismatch is fixed in #121; I can't seem to reproduce the lag... Could it be related to browser?

[wills106]

Thanks, I'll test the update later today as I don't have a way to update the container at the moment.

[wills106]

Just letting you know the two graphs match up now.
Thanks

Can this be used with apple workouts and the automations app? I can automatically upload a gpx file once a workout ends on my apple watch but it seems you have tied up loading a gpx file to a specific type of program? Is there an endpoint to just upload a gpx file and have it processed?

I added a "generic" import path: #185
Could you give this a try?

[muzzah]

Nice, will update my instance and give it a run (pun not intended) and let you know

Probably a something simple, but would you mind sharing an example of using the API to upload/import a GPX file? I like the idea of automatically uploading a workout with the Apple Automations app, but don't want to screw things up with a bad API call.
Thanks!

[jovandeginste]

I added some examples to the README

[jovandeginste]

If anything special is needed for the Apple Automations, and it might be documented here, feel free to open an issue with the relevant details (or update the README and open a PR)

Thanks for doing that. I figured out most of how to get the ShortCuts app to upload the data but there's still a few issues to work out.

The file seems not be uploading. When I look at the workout, it show a little file icon with ".gpx" after it instead of the typical path that the other workouts show. Is there piece of the curl command that I'm missing?
If I just use the curl command on a command line, it works beautifully but no file upload. Is that the expected behavoir?

One question though, is there a way to specify the name of the workout. It just posts as a no-name workout. (The data shows up in the tracker just fine.) I tried looking at the Swagger docs, but couldn't sort out where to find the field options.
I appreciate the help on this.

[jovandeginste]

The name is normally found inside the gpx file, but is sometimes missing; I will add an extra field to explicitly specify the name.
