Some notes on getting data out of a Peloton Cycle.

The MVP, in a jupyter notebook:

• getting out a few different users rides
• figuring out days since last ride

The project:

• displaying them on a raspberry pi pico 2, cycling through users
• display a emoji depending on days lapsed since last tide

Improvements:

• Crunch all rides in the last week or month and display an effort number
• a simple graph?

There doesn’t seem to be a officlal API, but there is an unofficial API and a recently updated python wrapper called pelotoncycle which does exactly what I need:

import pylotoncycle

username = 'your username or email address'
password = 'your password'
conn = pylotoncycle.PylotonCycle(username, password)
workouts = conn.GetRecentWorkouts(5)

Future

A limitation of this wrapper is that it only returns the logged in users rides, I want to be able to get the recent rides of the ppl I’m following. This data is visible to me, so the API probably exposes this too.
