Terra SDK Integration

Complete SDK reference for Terra API integration across all platforms.

SDK Overview

Python SDK

Installation

pip install terra-python

Setup

from terra import Terra, AsyncTerra

# Synchronous client
client = Terra(
    dev_id=os.environ["TERRA_DEV_ID"],
    api_key=os.environ["TERRA_API_KEY"]
)

# Async client
async_client = AsyncTerra(
    dev_id=os.environ["TERRA_DEV_ID"],
    api_key=os.environ["TERRA_API_KEY"]
)

Configuration Options

from terra import Terra

client = Terra(
    dev_id="...",
    api_key="...",
    timeout=60.0,           # Request timeout in seconds
    max_retries=2,          # Automatic retries (default: 2)
)

Complete Method Reference

# Authentication
client.authentication.generatewidgetsession(reference_id=..., auth_success_redirect_url=..., ...)
client.authentication.generateauthtoken()  # No params, generates for account
client.authentication.authenticateuser(resource=..., reference_id=...)
client.authentication.deauthenticateuser(user_id=...)

# User Management
client.user.getinfoforuserid(user_id=None, reference_id=None)  # Get single user
client.user.getalluserids(page=None, per_page=None)  # List all connected users
client.user.getinfoformultipleuserids(user_ids=...)  # Bulk user info
client.user.modifyuser(user_id=..., ...)  # Update user

# Data Retrieval (use .fetch() method)
client.activity.fetch(user_id=..., start_date=..., end_date=..., to_webhook=False)
client.sleep.fetch(user_id=..., start_date=..., end_date=..., to_webhook=False)
client.daily.fetch(user_id=..., start_date=..., end_date=..., to_webhook=False)

Async Usage

import asyncio
from terra import AsyncTerra

async def main():
    client = AsyncTerra(dev_id="...", api_key="...")

    # Concurrent requests
    activity, sleep, daily = await asyncio.gather(
        client.activity.get(user_id, start, end),
        client.sleep.get(user_id, start, end),
        client.daily.get(user_id, start, end)
    )

    return activity.data, sleep.data, daily.data

asyncio.run(main())

Error Handling

from terra import Terra
from terra.core.api_error import ApiError

client = Terra(dev_id="...", api_key="...")

try:
    data = client.activity.get(user_id="invalid", start_date=start, end_date=end)
except ApiError as e:
    print(f"Status: {e.status_code}")
    print(f"Message: {e.message}")
    print(f"Body: {e.body}")

iOS SDK (Swift)

Installation

Swift Package Manager:

https://github.com/tryterra/TerraiOS

CocoaPods:

pod 'TerraiOS'

Setup

import TerraiOS

class HealthManager {

    func initialize() {
        Terra.initTerra(
            devId: "botaniqalmedtech-testing-SjyfjtG33s",
            referenceId: getCurrentUserId()
        )
    }

    func connectAppleHealth(token: String) {
        Terra.initConnection(
            type: Connections.APPLE_HEALTH,
            token: token,
            schedulerOn: true  // Enable background sync
        ) { success, error in
            if success {
                print("Connected to Apple Health!")
            } else {
                print("Connection failed: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Unknown")")
            }
        }
    }
}

Reading Data

import TerraiOS

// Get activity data
Terra.getActivity(
    startDate: Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -7, to: Date())!,
    endDate: Date()
) { success, data, error in
    if success, let activities = data {
        for activity in activities {
            print("Activity: \(activity.metadata.type)")
            print("Calories: \(activity.calories_data.total_burned_calories)")
        }
    }
}

// Get sleep data
Terra.getSleep(startDate: startDate, endDate: endDate) { success, data, error in
    // Handle sleep data
}

// Get daily data
Terra.getDaily(startDate: startDate, endDate: endDate) { success, data, error in
    // Handle daily summaries
}

Writing Data (Apple Health)

// Post activity
Terra.postActivity(data: activityData) { success, error in
    if success {
        print("Activity posted to Apple Health")
    }
}

// Post planned workout (appears in Workout app)
let workout = PlannedWorkout(
    name: "Morning Run",
    type: "running",
    phases: [
        WorkoutPhase(type: "warmup", duration: 300),
        WorkoutPhase(type: "active", duration: 1800),
        WorkoutPhase(type: "cooldown", duration: 300)
    ]
)
Terra.postPlannedWorkout(data: workout) { success, error in
    // Workout now available on Apple Watch
}

Background Delivery

// Enable background delivery in AppDelegate
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions...) {
    Terra.setUpBackgroundDelivery()
}

// Data syncs automatically in background when schedulerOn: true

Flutter SDK

Installation

pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:

class HealthManager {
  late Terra terra;

  void initialize() {
    terra = Terra(
      "botaniqalmedtech-testing-SjyfjtG33s",
      getCurrentUserId()

      Connections.APPLE_HEALTH,
      token,
      schedulerOn: true
    );
  }
}

Reading Data

// Get activity
final activities = await terra.getActivity(startDate, endDate);
for (var activity in activities) {
  print("Type: ${activity.metadata.type}");
  print("Calories: ${activity.caloriesData.totalBurnedCalories}");
}

// Get sleep
final sleepData = await terra.getSleep(startDate, endDate);

// Get daily
final dailyData = await terra.getDaily(startDate, endDate);

Writing Data

// Post activity
await terra.postActivity(activityData);

// Post nutrition
await terra.postNutrition(nutritionData);

Backend Token Generation

Mobile SDKs require backend token generation:

# Flask example
from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_login import login_required, current_user
from terra import Terra

app = Flask(__name__)
terra = Terra(dev_id="...", api_key="...")

@app.route("/api/terra/token", methods=["POST"])
@login_required
def get_terra_token():
    """Generate auth token for mobile SDK."""
    response = terra.authentication.generateauthtoken(
        reference_id=str(current_user.id)
    )
    return jsonify({"token": response.token})

Token Expiration: 180 seconds (3 minutes), one-time use.
