# Intervals.icu API Skill

Comprehensive guide for interacting with the intervals.icu API to manage athlete training data, activities, workouts, and calendar events.

## Authentication

### API Key Method

Get your Athlete ID and API Key from [intervals.icu settings page](https://intervals.icu/settings).

```bash
# Using API Key header
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID
```

### Bearer Token Method (OAuth)

```bash
# Using Bearer token
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID
```

**Base URL:** `https://intervals.icu/api/v1`

**Date Format:** ISO-8601 (e.g., `2024-01-15` or `2024-01-15T10:30:00`)

---

## Core Concepts

### Athlete ID

Your unique identifier in Intervals.icu. Used in all API endpoints as `{id}` path parameter.

### Activities vs Events

- **Activities**: Completed workouts with actual data (GPS, power, HR). Retrieved from `/athlete/{id}/activities`
- **Events**: Planned workouts on your calendar. Retrieved from `/athlete/{id}/events`

### Data Fields

Activities and events can return different fields. Use the `fields` query parameter to include/exclude specific data points for more efficient queries.

---

## Getting Activities (Completed Workouts)

### List Activities for Date Range

Retrieve all activities between two dates, sorted newest to oldest.

```bash
# Basic activity list
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=2024-01-01&newest=2024-01-31"

# With limit
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=2024-01-01&limit=10"

# Specific fields only (more efficient)
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=2024-01-01&fields=id,name,start_date_local,type,distance,moving_time,icu_training_load"

# For specific activity type (Ride, Run, Swim, etc.)
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=2024-01-01&newest=2024-01-31" | jq '.[] | select(.type == "Ride")'
```

### Combine Activities with External Data

Use `fields` parameter to combine activity data with contextual information:

```bash
# Power, HR, and load data
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=2024-01-01&fields=name,icu_weighted_avg_watts,average_heartrate,icu_training_load,icu_atl,icu_ctl"

# Include fatigue and fitness metrics
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=2024-01-01&fields=id,name,type,icu_training_load,icu_atl,icu_ctl,perceived_exertion"

# Combine power zones and zone times
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=2024-01-01&fields=id,name,distance,moving_time,icu_zone_times,icu_weighted_avg_watts"

# HR zones + intensity data
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/YOUR_ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=2024-01-01&fields=id,name,type,average_heartrate,max_heartrate,icu_hr_zone_times,trimp"
```

### Get Single Activity with Full Details

```bash
# Get activity by ID with all data
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/activity/ACTIVITY_ID"

# Get activity with intervals
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/activity/ACTIVITY_ID?intervals=true"
```

### Export Activity Streams (CSV or JSON)

```bash
# Get activity streams as JSON
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/activity/ACTIVITY_ID/streams.json"

# Get activity streams as CSV (includes time, power, heart_rate, cadence, etc.)
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/activity/ACTIVITY_ID/streams.csv" \
  --output activity_streams.csv

# Get specific stream types
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey API_KEY:YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/activity/ACTIVITY_ID/streams.json?types=watts,heart_rate,cadence"
```

## Common Use Cases

### Workflow: Sync Training Data with External System

```bash
#!/bin/bash

ATHLETE_ID="YOUR_ATHLETE_ID"
API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
DATE="2024-01-15"

# 1. Get completed activities
ACTIVITIES=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ATHLETE_ID:$API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/$ATHLETE_ID/activities?oldest=$DATE&newest=$DATE&fields=id,name,type,distance,icu_training_load")

# 2. Get planned workouts for today
EVENTS=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ATHLETE_ID:$API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/$ATHLETE_ID/events?oldest=$DATE&newest=$DATE&category=WORKOUT")

# 3. Get wellness data
WELLNESS=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ATHLETE_ID:$API_KEY" \
  "https://intervals.icu/api/v1/athlete/$ATHLETE_ID/wellness/$DATE")

echo "Activities: $ACTIVITIES"
echo "Events: $EVENTS"
echo "Wellness: $WELLNESS"
```

### Workflow: Create Weekly Training Plan

## Important Notes

### Rate Limiting

Be respectful with API calls. Don't hammer the API with rapid successive requests.

### Field Selection

Use the `fields` parameter to request only the data you need. This improves performance and reduces payload size.

### Date Formats

Always use ISO-8601 format: `YYYY-MM-DD` or `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS`

### Upsert Parameter

When creating events, use `upsertOnUid=true` to update existing events with matching UIDs instead of creating duplicates.

### External IDs

Use `external_id` when syncing data from other systems to avoid duplicates on re-sync.

### Forum Discussion

For more detailed API information, see: [API Access Forum Post](https://forum.intervals.icu/t/api-access-to-intervals-icu/609)
