Here's a Python library to parse ANT/Garmin `.FIT` files.
[](https://github.com/dtcooper/python-fitparse/actions?query=workflow%3Atest)
Install from [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fitparse/):
```
pip install fitparse
```
FIT files
------------
- FIT files contain data stored in a binary file format.
- The FIT (Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer) file protocol is specified
by [ANT](http://www.thisisant.com/).
- The SDK, code examples, and detailed documentation can be found in the
[ANT FIT SDK](http://www.thisisant.com/resources/fit).
Usage
-----
A simple example of printing records from a fit file:
```python
import fitparse
# Load the FIT file
fitfile = fitparse.FitFile("my_activity.fit")
# Iterate over all messages of type "record"
# (other types include "device_info", "file_creator", "event", etc)
for record in fitfile.get_messages("record"):
# Records can contain multiple pieces of data (ex: timestamp, latitude, longitude, etc)
for data in record:
# Print the name and value of the data (and the units if it has any)
if data.units:
print(" * {}: {} ({})".format(data.name, data.value, data.units))
else:
print(" * {}: {}".format(data.name, data.value))
print("---")
```
The library also provides a `fitdump` script for command line usage:
```
$ fitdump --help
usage: fitdump [-h] [-v] [-o OUTPUT] [-t {readable,json}] [-n NAME] [--ignore-crc] FITFILE
Dump .FIT files to various formats
positional arguments:
FITFILE Input .FIT file (Use - for stdin)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
File to output data into (defaults to stdout)
-t {readable,json}, --type {readable,json}
File type to output. (DEFAULT: readable)
-n NAME, --name NAME Message name (or number) to filter
--ignore-crc Some devices can write invalid crc's, ignore these.
```
See the documentation for more: http://dtcooper.github.io/python-fitparse
Major Changes From Original Version
-----------------------------------
After a few years of laying dormant we are back to active development!
The old version is archived as
[`v1-archive`](https://github.com/dtcooper/python-fitparse/releases/tag/v1-archive).
* New, hopefully cleaner public API with a clear division between accessible
and internal parts. (Still unstable and partially complete.)
* Proper documentation!
[Available here](https://dtcooper.github.io/python-fitparse/).
* Unit tests and example programs.
* **(WIP)** Command line tools (eg a `.FIT` to `.CSV` converter).
* Component fields and compressed timestamp headers now supported and not
just an afterthought. Closes issues #6 and #7.
* FIT file parsing is generic enough to support all types. Going to have
specific `FitFile` subclasses for more popular file types like activities.
* **(WIP)** Converting field types to normalized values (for example,
`bool`, `date_time`, etc) done in a consistent way, that's easy to
customize by subclassing the converter class. I'm going to use something
like the Django form-style `convert_<field name>` idiom on this class.
* The FIT profile is its own complete python module, rather than using
`profile.def`.
* Bonus! The profile generation script is _less_ ugly (but still an
atrocity) and supports every
[ANT FIT SDK](http://www.thisisant.com/resources/fit) from version 1.00
up to 5.10.
* A working `setup.py` module. Closes issue #2, finally! I'll upload the
package to [PyPI](http://pypi.python.org/) when it's done.
* Support for parsing one record at a time. This can be done using
`<FitFile>.parse_one()` for now, but I'm not sure of the exact
implementation yet.
Updating to new FIT SDK versions
--------------------------------
- Download the latest [ANT FIT SDK](http://www.thisisant.com/resources/fit).
- Update the profile:
```
python3 scripts/generate_profile.py /path/to/fit_sdk.zip fitparse/profile.py
```
