Accessing your MeasurementsΒΆ
To access measurements from the past 30 days:
import myfitnesspal
client = myfitnesspal.Client()
weight = client.get_measurements('Weight')
weight

# (datetime.date(2015, 5, 8), 171.0), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 7), 171.2), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 6), 170.8),
# (datetime.date(2015, 5, 5), 171.8), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 4), 174.2), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 3), 172.2),

To access measurements since a given date:
import datetime
may = datetime.date(2015, 5, 1)
body_fat = client.get_measurements('Body Fat', may)
body_fat
# >> OrderedDict([(datetime.date(2015, 5, 14), 12.8), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 13), 13.1), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 12), 12.7),
# (datetime.date(2015, 5, 11), 12.7), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 10), 12.8), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 9), 12.4),
# (datetime.date(2015, 5, 8), 12.6), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 7), 12.7), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 6), 12.6),
# (datetime.date(2015, 5, 5), 12.9), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 4), 13.0), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 3), 12.6),
# (datetime.date(2015, 5, 2), 12.6), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 1), 12.7)])
To access measurements within a date range:
thisweek = datetime.date(2015, 5, 11)
lastweek = datetime.date(2015, 5, 4)
weight = client.get_measurements('Weight', thisweek, lastweek)
weight
# >> OrderedDict([(datetime.date(2015, 5, 11), 171.6), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 10), 172.4), (datetime.date(2015, 5,9), 170.2),
# (datetime.date(2015, 5, 8), 171.0), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 7), 171.2), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 6), 170.8),
# (datetime.date(2015, 5, 5), 171.8), (datetime.date(2015, 5, 4), 174.2)])
Measurements are returned as ordered dictionaries. The first argument specifies the measurement name, which can be any name listed in the MyFitnessPal Check-In page. When specifying a date range, the order of the date arguments does not matter.
