# Apple Health Exporter

This Python 3 module takes a dump of Apple Health data (the `export.zip` file
generated through an Apple Health data export) and saves a subset of fields and
records to a [feather](https://github.com/wesm/feather) file. This can then be
read by both Python and R.

## Getting started

The package can be used either as an executable module, or as an importable library.

First, install from PyPI (preferably in a new virtual environment):

```bash
# optional: create virtualenv within directory to avoid polluting system Python
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install apple-health-exporter
```

This will also install the following dependencies:

- [`pandas`](http://pandas.pydata.org/)
- [`pyarrow`](https://pypi.org/project/pyarrow/)
- [`lxml`](http://lxml.de/index.html)

### Installing Feather in R

If you'd like to do data analysis on the generated data file in R, then you'll
need the feather package:

```r
install.packages("feather")
```

## Usage

1. Export Apple Health data from within the Health app.

![click on "user" icon and then on "export health data"](images/exporting.png)

2. Pick a location (I usually export to Dropbox) and then run the script:

```bash
apple-health-exporter ~/Dropbox/export.zip ~/Downloads/data.feather
# alternative method:
python -m apple_health_exporter ~/Dropbox/export.zip ~/Downloads/data.feather

# Specify XML file name in case zip file has been renamed
apple-health-exporter ~/Dropbox/export_renamed.zip ~/Downloads/data.feather --xml_file_name export.zip
```

> The export zip file contains an XML file containing
> actual data. By default, this name can be inferred
> from the stem of the zip file name (for example
> `export.zip` will contain a file named `export.xml`).
> However, if the zip file has been renamed, you may
> need to explicitly provide the name of the XML file
> with the `--xml_file_name` option.

3. Now you can load the data in either R or Python.

   In R:

   ```r
   library(feather)
   library(dplyr)
   data <- read_feather("~/Downloads/data.feather")
   data %>% group_by(type) %>% summarize(entries = n())
   ```

   ```

                                               type entries
                                             <chr>   <int>

   9     HKQuantityTypeIdentifierDietaryCholesterol      84
   10 HKQuantityTypeIdentifierDietaryEnergyConsumed      84
   # ... with 18 more rows
   ```

   In Python:

   ```python
   import pandas as pd
   data = pd.read_feather("data.feather")
   data.groupby("type").size()
   ```

   ```

## Examples

Some examples using this data export can be found in my
[apple-health-examples](https://github.com/mganjoo/apple-health-examples) repo.

## Contributing

This package uses [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org) for package management.

To build and test the package locally, check out the repo and:

1. Install Poetry (one-time) using one of the methods on the [Installation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation) page.

2. Install all dependencies (automatically creates a virtual environment):

```
poetry install
```

3. Make changes, and test using the following commands:

```bash
# Type checking
poetry run mypy .
# Linting
poetry run flake8 apple_health_exporter/
# Formatting
poetry run black .
```
