Polar API Integration

Terra's Polar API integration will enable your users to sync their Polar watches & heart rate straps with your app. The Polar API integration will give you detailed insights through providing users' highly accurate heart rate, sampled as frequently as every second, and will provide you with Polar's proprietary step count whenever a user's device syncs to the cloud. You will also receive heart rate zone information for users' workouts, and summaries of users' sleep for each night.

Recent Data with Webhooks

Historical Data with HTTP Requests

When data is available from a Polar device, it will be streamed to you via our webhooks. During your Terra account setup, you'll be prompted to provide a callback URL, allowing Terra to PUSH data using POST requests.

You may also use HTTP requests with your Polar integration in case you wish to request historical data or data over extended periods of time.

Our Polar integration with Terra offers instant data delivery, eliminating the need for periodic requests. Polar notifies Terra whenever new data is available, and we then POST the normalized data to your webhook.

Most HTTP endpoints can take additional parameters start_date and end_date which allow you to request data over a specific period for the given user.

Terra API preserves the raw data from the wearable, it just standardizes the units and the json format. It doesn’t augment or change the raw data in any way.

Data is organized into one of 6 data types.
