Data Available
| Metric | Data Points |

| Recovery | Score (0-100%), HRV, resting HR, SpO2, skin temp |
| Sleep | Duration, stages (REM/deep/light), efficiency, performance |

Recovery Score Guide
- 💚 67-100% Green - Ready to perform

Setup
0. Requirements
- Node.js 18+ (this repo uses ESM)
openssl (only needed for the optional auth.js flow when using https://localhost; Postman auth does not need it)
1. Create WHOOP Developer App
- Go to https://developer.whoop.com/
- Sign in with your WHOOP account
- Create a new App
- Add these Redirect URIs (exact match; no extra trailing slashes):
You can keep both registered at the same time.
- Copy the Client ID and Client Secret
Team note: this skill does not ship any client credentials. Each user can create their own WHOOP app,
or (if you trust each other) a team can share one app's client_id/client_secret and let multiple WHOOP
accounts authorize it.
2. Save Credentials (recommended: interactive)
Run:
node src/setup.js
This writes ~/.clawdbot/whoop/credentials.json (and optionally token.json if you paste tokens).
3. Authenticate (Recommended: Postman)
Postman is the most reliable bootstrap for many accounts because WHOOP may block browser-like traffic
to the OAuth endpoints (or behave differently depending on headers).
Postman checklist (don’t skip these):
- WHOOP dashboard Redirect URIs include:
https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/browser-callback
- Postman OAuth settings:
- Scopes include
offline (or you won’t get a refresh_token)
- Client Authentication is Send client credentials in body (
client_secret_post)
- In WHOOP dashboard, ensure you registered the Postman callback Redirect URI:
https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/browser-callback
- In Postman:
- Create an Environment and set variables:
ClientId = your WHOOP client id
ClientSecret = your WHOOP client secret
- Open the WHOOP API collection (or any request), then open the Authorization tab:
- Type: OAuth 2.0
- Add auth data to: Request Headers
- Grant Type: Authorization Code
- Callback URL: check Authorize using browser
- Auth URL:
https://api.prod.whoop.com/oauth/oauth2/auth
- Access Token URL:
https://api.prod.whoop.com/oauth/oauth2/token
- Client ID:
{{ClientId}}
- Client Secret:
{{ClientSecret}}
- Scope (space-delimited): include
offline plus any read scopes you need, e.g.:
offline read:profile read:sleep read:recovery read:workout read:cycles read:body_measurement
- State: any 8+ chars (e.g.
loomingState)
- Client Authentication: Send client credentials in body
-
Click "Get New Access Token", sign in to WHOOP, and click "Grant".
-
In Postman’s "Manage Access Tokens" modal:
- Click "Use Token" (so requests work)
- IMPORTANT: copy and save both:
access_token
refresh_token
Postman often does not retain the refresh token for you later.
- Save tokens to
~/.clawdbot/whoop/token.json:
- Use
token.example.json as a template
- Set:
- Verify (and test refresh):
node src/verify.js
node src/verify.js --refresh
4. Optional: Authenticate via auth.js (may fail on some accounts)
If you prefer a fully local OAuth loop (and WHOOP allows it), you can use auth.js.
Pre-req: add this redirect URI in WHOOP dashboard:
https://localhost:3000/callback
Run:
WHOOP_REDIRECT_URI='https://localhost:3000/callback' node src/auth.js
If you need to do it from a phone/remote device:
WHOOP_REDIRECT_URI='https://localhost:3000/callback' node src/auth.js --manual
Note: for localhost HTTPS, the script generates a self-signed cert and your browser will show a TLS warning.
You must proceed past the warning so the redirect can complete.
4. Verify It Works
node src/verify.js
node src/summary.js
Troubleshooting
Browser shows NotAuthorizedException before the login page
This is a WHOOP-side block on browser User-Agents hitting api.prod.whoop.com OAuth endpoints.
- Use the updated
node src/auth.js which bootstraps the login URL and sends your browser directly to id.whoop.com.
- If you still see it, try
node src/auth.js --manual and open the printed URL.
"redirect_uri not whitelisted"
- Go to https://developer.whoop.com/
- Edit your app
- Ensure this EXACT URI is in Redirect URIs:
https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/browser-callback
If you're using auth.js locally, also add:
https://localhost:3000/callback
- Save and try again
Token Expired
Tokens auto-refresh on demand (no cron needed). If issues persist:
rm ~/.clawdbot/whoop/token.json
node src/auth.js
"Authorization was not valid"
This usually means your access token is stale/invalidated (common if you re-auth or refresh tokens elsewhere; WHOOP refresh tokens rotate).
- Re-run
node src/auth.js, or
- Copy the latest
access_token + refresh_token from Postman into ~/.clawdbot/whoop/token.json and update obtained_at.
Auth from Phone/Remote Device
Use manual mode:
node src/auth.js --manual
Open the URL on any device, authorize, then copy the code from the callback URL.
error=request_forbidden / "The request is not allowed"
This is WHOOP rejecting the authorization request after login/consent. Common causes:
- Redirect URI policy (WHOOP docs only mention
https:// or whoop:// redirect URIs)
- App/account restrictions (membership/approval/test-user restrictions)
- Scope restrictions (try requesting fewer scopes)
If you suspect redirect URI policy, use an HTTPS tunnel:
ngrok http 3000
WHOOP_REDIRECT_URI=https://YOUR-NGROK-DOMAIN.ngrok-free.app/callback node src/auth.js
If you suspect scope restrictions, try a minimal scope set:
WHOOP_SCOPES="read:profile" node src/auth.js
If your WHOOP Redirect URL is https://localhost:3000/callback
This changes how the local callback server must run: it must be HTTPS (not HTTP).
The script supports this. Run:
WHOOP_REDIRECT_URI=https://localhost:3000/callback node src/auth.js
It will generate a self-signed cert locally and your browser will likely show a warning for https://localhost.
Proceed past the warning so the redirect can complete.
JSON Output (for tooling)
These commands support:
--json (single JSON blob)
--jsonl (one JSON object per line; useful for piping)
--limit N (where supported)
- Time filters (where supported):
--days N, --since 7d / 12h, --start ISO, --end ISO
node src/summary.js --json
node src/recovery.js --json --limit 1
node src/sleep.js --json --limit 1
node src/strain.js --json --limit 1
node src/workouts.js --json --limit 1
node src/sleep.js --json --days 7
node src/workouts.js --jsonl --since 30d
node src/recovery.js --json --start 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z --end 2026-02-01T00:00:00Z
API Notes
- Uses WHOOP Developer API v2
- OAuth 2.0 authentication with refresh tokens
- Scopes: offline, read:recovery, read:sleep, read:workout, read:cycles, read:profile
- Token auto-refreshes when expired
