AppleHealthDataToJSON

• Note, this code and file structure was generated using ChatGPT. I know there are easy improvements that can be made, but the script works as is.
• Everybody needs mock data when developing for apple health products. Unfortunately, it's hard to come by this data. My solution? Import my own apple health data, then convert it into a usable format.
• This is a package to take that apple healthkit XML and turn it into usable JSON. The script also allows for you to convert the data into useable javascript objects.
• It takes about 2 minutes to set up. The script itself can vary in time, depending on the amount of data you are using.

Setup

1. Export your apple health data.
   • Open the Health app
   • On the top right, click your profile icon
   • Scroll all the way down, click the Export All Health Data button
   • Hit Export and the app will create a .Zip file containing XML data you will need.
   • Get this ZIP to your laptop. Airdrop, email, dropbox, whatever.
2. Install the scripts
   • git clone https://github.com/sudomichael/AppleHealthDataToJSON.git
   • cd AppleHealthDataToJSON
3. Open your apple health data ZIP, add the .XML data to the root directory of AppleHealthDataToJSON.
4. Rename the XML file is to export.xml if it isn't already

Running

To convert the XML to usable JavaScript objects

• python3 main.py
• Copy the data directory in to your javascript project.
• Use as needed, i.e

       import HealthData from src/data/index
  
       const heartRateData = HealthData.HeartRate;
       heartRateData.forEach(heartRate => console.log(heartRate.value));
  

To convert the XML to grouped JSON only

• Pass the --json argument to the script when running
  • python3 main.py --json

To have more custom configuration

• Update main.py as you see fit, to only run certain scripts or not.
