      Hey @whoop I’m enjoying your product a lot, but how do I get my data downloaded in some useful format like csv or json or via api/zapier/ifttt? There’s no documentation that I can find or plans/announcements. It’s almost 2021! Weird to see a consumer health data walled garden.

      That "my data" is doing so much heavy lifting in the sentence.pic.twitter.com/iDHezhq1Hg

      You don’t think my heart rate data is mine?

      Doesn't matter what I think. That's the point.

      Sure, but most people won't. From a business perspective Ahmed made the right decision postponing data extract since it's an unnecessary part of the business model. You could try thishttps://notunhealthy.com/whoop-strap-high-end-fitness-tracker/ …

      Postponing is fine. But it’s not really a consumer apathy thing... regulatory pressures are the stick here and developer talent is the carrot.

      Reminds me of how Amazon stopped putting product information into the order update emails they send customers because other companies were scraping the data. Intuitively, product information in my orders is my data. But things look different to the CEO. Very asymmetrical.

      The case for opacity is much more reasonable there. Health data is uniquely personal and that’s why there’s so much regulatory pressure there.
