PylotonCycle
Python Library for getting your Peloton workout data.
Table of contents
General info
As someone who wants to see my progress over time, I've been wanting a way to pull and play with my ride data. However, I'm also cautious about linking myself to too many external parties. As I've been playing with other libraries out there, I wanted something that was a bit more intuitive and would play nicer with the rest of my python code. So, PylotonCycle is born.
Example Usage
An example of how you may fetch performance data for a ride and easily manage credentials.
import pylotoncycle
import json
import os
import pprint
# Copy the sample.auth.json to auth.json and fill in your username and password
AUTH_FILE = "auth.json"
def save_dict(d, path=AUTH_FILE):
with open(path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
json.dump(d, f, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4)
def load_dict(path=AUTH_FILE):
if not os.path.exists(path):
return {}
with open(path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
return json.load(f)
auth = load_dict()
conn = pylotoncycle.PylotonCycle(username=auth.get('username'), password=auth.get('password'),
access_token=auth.get('access_token'),refresh_token=auth.get('refresh_token'))
workouts = conn.GetRecentWorkouts(5)
for w in workouts:
workout_id = w['id']
resp = conn.GetWorkoutMetricsById(workout_id)
pprint.pprint(resp)
save_dict(conn.GetAuthInfo())
workouts is a list of workouts.

Install
This package is available via pip install.
pip install pylotoncycle
TODO
- Lots more to cover. I want to find the right format for pulling in the ride performance data.
- Pull in GPS data for outdoor runs
Note to folks who want to contribute
I'm very happy to take pull requests and fix bugs that come up. But, this is definitely a side project for me.
