MapMyWalk API Integration
MapMyWalk is part of the broader MapMyFitness ecosystem, and with Terra's web API integration, your app can access activity data from users' walking workouts. MapMyWalk is a GPS-based app designed for walking activities, and the Terra API will provide your app with metrics such as calories burned, walking distance, speed, and GPS location data to help track user progress in walking routines.Start Receiving Data From MapMyWalk In 5 Minutes

How the MapMyWalk API integration works
- Data delivery
- Terra polls MapMyWalk
- Expected latency
- Up to 5–10 minutes after the provider syncs
- Data types
- Activity
- Credentials
- Terra manages the MapMyWalk API credentials, so there is nothing to register
Two ways to receive MapMyWalk data
When data is available from a MapMyWalk 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.
MapMyWalk 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.
MapMyWalk'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.
