How the Apple Health API integration works
- Data delivery
- The Terra mobile SDK reads Apple Health on the user's device
- Expected latency
- As often as your app runs the SDK, in foreground or background
- Data types
- Activity, Body, Daily, Menstruation, Nutrition and Sleep
- Credentials
- No provider credentials required
Two ways to receive Apple Health data
When data is available from an Apple Health user's device, Terra sends it straight to your webhook. During your Terra account setup you'll be prompted for a callback URL, and that is where Terra POSTs each payload.
Apple Health data lives on the user's phone, so the Terra mobile SDK reads it there rather than calling a Apple Health server. Terra normalizes each upload and POSTs it to your webhook.
Apple Health's Activity
Payload Preview
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.
