TrainingPeaks Skill

CLI access to the TrainingPeaks internal API. Pure Python stdlib — no pip dependencies.

Setup: Getting Your Auth Cookie

1. Log in to TrainingPeaks in your browser
2. Open DevTools → Application → Cookies → app.trainingpeaks.com
3. Find the cookie named Production_tpAuth
4. Copy its value (long encoded string)

Then authenticate:

python3 scripts/tp.py auth "<paste_cookie_value_here>"

Or set the environment variable (useful for CI/scripts):

export TP_AUTH_COOKIE="<cookie_value>"

Credentials are stored in ~/.trainingpeaks/ with 0600 permissions.

Token Management

• Bearer tokens are cached in ~/.trainingpeaks/token.json
• Tokens expire in ~1 hour; auto-refreshed from stored cookie
• Cookie lasts weeks; stored in ~/.trainingpeaks/cookie
• If the cookie expires, you'll get a clear error to re-authenticate

File Locations

| File | Purpose | |------|---------| | ~/.trainingpeaks/cookie | Stored Production_tpAuth cookie | | ~/.trainingpeaks/token.json | Cached OAuth Bearer token + expiry | | ~/.trainingpeaks/config.json | Cached athlete ID and account info |

Notes

• All dates use YYYY-MM-DD format
• Maximum workout query range: 90 days
• Rate limiting: 150ms minimum between API requests
• TP_AUTH_COOKIE environment variable overrides stored cookie
• Default output is human-readable; --json gives raw API responses
