Hammerhead API Integration

With Terra's Hammerhead web API integration, your app can access detailed cycling performance data from Hammerhead's Karoo GPS cycling computers. The integration delivers ride metrics including GPS routes, power output, heart rate, cadence, speed, elevation, and calories burned for every ride.

Two ways to receive Hammerhead data

When data is available from a Hammerhead 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.

Hammerhead does not notify Terra when data changes, so Terra polls it every 5–10 minutes for each connected user and POSTs the normalized payload to your webhook.

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.

People Often Ask Us...

How do I access Hammerhead Karoo data through an API?

Terra's Hammerhead integration reads the rides a Karoo cycling computer uploads. Your user connects their Hammerhead account through the Terra widget, and Terra normalizes each ride into a standard Activity payload delivered to your webhook.

How quickly does Hammerhead data reach my app?

Terra polls Hammerhead every 5–10 minutes for each connected user, so new data reaches your webhook within that window of a device sync.

What data is available from Hammerhead through Terra?

Through Terra's Hammerhead integration, you can access activity data.

What ride metrics does Hammerhead return?

The full performance set a Karoo records: GPS route, power output, heart rate, cadence, speed, elevation and calories burned for every ride.

Do I need Hammerhead API credentials?

No provider credentials are required. Your user authenticates with their own Hammerhead login through the Terra widget, and there is nothing to register on your side.
