Connecting Polar Using Bluetooth or using direct connection.

GenerousPeacock12 months ago

Hi Terra Team,

I have 2 questions:

When a user wants to connect to a polar device, they have to go through the terra webflow to login and connect their polar strap to our React Native app. I was wondering if there is a streamlined way to do this without having the customer go through the webflow.
We realised that we cannot connect Samsung Health to our IOS react native app. I was wondering if you know how we can sync a user's Samsung Health data with Apple Health. So that way we can connect Terra to AppleHealth on IOS while pulling the galaxy watch data.

Please also let me know if its possible to setup a call to speak to your team on the help we need. Regards.

Thanks.

Hey there!

Polar: You can connect to Polar directly using the authentication endpoint without going through the widget! You can instead include a direct polar connection endpoint. See here for the specifics: https://docs.tryterra.co/reference#authentication

You'll need to specify resource as a query parameter set to the Polar provider identifier . The response will provide an auth_url that takes users directly to Polar's authentication flow. Please also note that the Polar integration does not allow data to be fetched before the user is authenticated - being one of the few integrations with this limitation.

POST /v2/auth/authenticateUser HTTP/1.1 Host: api.tryterra.co dev-id: text x-api-key: text Content-Type: application/json Accept: / Content-Length: 111 { "language": "text", "reference_id": "text", "auth_success_redirect_url": "text", "auth_failure_redirect_url": "text" }

Samsung Health: The Terra Mobile SDK for Samsung Health is only available for Android, there is no SDK for Samsung Health on iOS so far. You can include Google Fit for those users that sync their data with it, however we recommend to rely on Terra's Android SDK to access data from Samsung Health.
