fitness tracking

trying to integrate with https://www.polar.com/accesslink-api/?srsltid=AfmBOooE910RcxJdKHXs5u7sWjpegMxc8yZJQd_HckBMyFSvVUVLhxzP#polar-accesslink-api

and eventually with Garmin as well

wondering if this should integrate with Convex Auth

What are you looking for in an integration?

ballingt•1/2/25, 7:26 PM

or what does integrate mean?

ballingt•1/2/25, 7:26 PM

Do you want to use Garmin or Polar as an auth provider?

burnstony#1975OP•1/2/25, 8:07 PM

Possibly, I hadn't thought of it like that but that is basically how teh integration works. The user logs into polar using oauth 2 and it redirects back with a token to be used to retrieve fitness data that comes from their watch

burnstony#1975OP•1/2/25, 9:51 PM

I'm unclear how to handle the redirect. I can set the redirect to the call convex can convex than redirect back to local host?

ballingt•1/2/25, 9:54 PM

Got it, sounds like this has to do with using a token for more than just identity, so you need to keep that original token.

Yes, this is how Convex Auth works

burnstony#1975OP•1/2/25, 9:56 PM

whats the command to do that

burnstony#1975OP•1/2/25, 9:59 PM

do I need to create a HTTP action

ballingt•1/2/25, 10:25 PM

Could we back up, what are you trying to do?

ballingt•1/2/25, 10:26 PM

It sounds like you want to get a JWT from Polar, and then use that JWT to get data from Polar?

ballingt•1/2/25, 10:27 PM

Separately, there's a notion of auth in convex. If that JWT from Polar is an OAuth OpenID Connect ID token, that you can use that token for authenticating with Convex as well.

ballingt•1/2/25, 10:28 PM

The way Convex Auth works is that it mints a new JWT for identity.

ballingt•1/2/25, 10:29 PM

I'm not sure what your goal is here, if you're indeed trying to use the Polar JWT for both, then see https://github.com/get-convex/convex-auth/issues/135 for how another use handled something similar

ballingt•1/2/25, 10:29 PM

But I'm not sure if that's actually what you're tryhing to do

burnstony#1975OP•1/3/25, 4:56 PM

Thank you, I am still trying to finish implement the full thing

burnstony#1975OP•1/3/25, 4:56 PM

But I managed to have the front end call for auth and than it forwards to the convex backend and than convex calls and gets a token and redirects back to localhost

burnstony#1975OP•1/3/25, 4:57 PM

which was the part I was confused about

burnstony#1975OP•1/3/25, 4:57 PM

Thank you
