Polar API Integration
Terra's Polar API integration will enable your users to sync their Polar watches & heart rate straps with your app. The Polar API integration will give you detailed insights through providing users' highly accurate heart rate, sampled as frequently as every second, and will provide you with Polar's proprietary step count whenever a user's device syncs to the cloud. You will also receive heart rate zone information for users' workouts, and summaries of users' sleep for each night.Start Receiving Data From Polar In 5 Minutes

How the Polar API integration works
- Data delivery
- Polar pushes to Terra on change
- Expected latency
- Seconds after the provider syncs
- Data types
- Activity, Daily and Sleep
- Credentials
- Terra manages the Polar API credentials, so there is nothing to register
Two ways to receive Polar data
When data is available from a Polar 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.
Polar notifies Terra as soon as new data is available, and we POST the normalized payload straight to your webhook. No polling needed.
Polar'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.

Activity Payload (JSON)
{
active_durations_data: { ... }
data_enrichment: { ... }
distance_data: { ... }
heart_rate_data: { ... }
metadata: { ... }
}
Data can also be sent as a FIT File or with the FHIR Format.
