2021 December Updates

Check out what we've been doing at Terra over the month of December!

Backend 💾

Implemented widget sessions to allow your developer ID and API Key to be hidden from the user during authentication.
Implemented custom authentication success and failure redirects when authenticating using the widget to improve flow for users.
Implemented passing of a reference_id field which will be sent to your webhook URL upon user authentication to allow easier linking of payloads with users of your service.
Added HMAC signature verification to allow ensuring that webhook payloads came from Terra.
Added GET /menstruation endpoint - currently this data is only provided by Garmin.

Fixed issue where authenticating with Polar would sometimes not allow access to user data.
Fixed some fields not being present in payloads for certain providers.
Fixed the user deregistration only soft-deregistering users from the service - users tokens are now revoked to ensure Terra no longer has access to the data.
Fixed issue where timezone data for some providers would show as UTC in the timestamp, but the data was not actually in UTC time

New WearOS SDK available which allows streaming of activity data to Terra using the watch's WiFi connection. A bluetooth low energy SDK is under development.
New Apple SDK to allow retrieval of data from HealthKit which supports streaming of data to Terra using the phone's WiFi connection.
