Download Workouts from ErgDB Problem

[Brendon Soo]

Hi guys,

I just got a new PC but cannot see any ErgDB workout to download when in Train.

Please help ASAP.

Thx, Brendon

[Mark Liversedge]

ErgDB changed their API without notifying anyone, we'll try and fix it up. In the meantime you can use their web interface to download workouts.

[Mark Liversedge]

Either the old API is back or I misinterpreted the situation.
Needed to fix the endpoint to use https not http and its back working now.

Fix will be in the next development build.

Somewhat new to GC here and am having the same problem mentioned here, so resurrecting:  download dialogue pops up but no workouts listed available for download from ergdb.  Assuming user error but figured I would ask here in case this is a bug of some sort.  Is there a particular step or setting to make this work?  I am on the latest beta version (Oct 2018 release).

[Mark Liversedge]

I believe ErgDB is now at www.ergdb.org, but need to check before changing the code.

Looks like its down today for example.

Hi all,

It seems to me that both 73summits.com and ergdb.org are down. Is there any other place I can download erg files from ?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Cédric

Hey guys,

I've been continually trying to connect to ErgDB over the last 3 weeks with no luck.  But I've lost interest because I found this link:

https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/Video-media-(e.g.-The-Sufferfest)-and-workout-files

Whoever did this:  THANK YOU!  These are awesome.  As a long-time owner of a number of Sufferfest vids (from before they were subscription only), I've always been a fan.  But having these in the form of actual workouts is, to me, almost better than the videos.  There's quite the library of workouts in this workbook such that I really have no need to try and fetch anything from ErgDB anymore.  For any of you guys still miffed about the ErgDB site problems and looking for workouts:  if you haven't already found these Sufferfest workouts I suggest checking them out.

[Mark Liversedge]

Darren Hague pulled it together, not sure if it covers the latest videos - but SF have their own app too which is worth checking out.

I've been checking 73summits for a couple weeks:

www.73summits.com points to an empty apache web page 

https://www.73summits.com/ergdb/ -> Not found

Does 73summits still exist? I think the project may have closed or it may have been absorbed/ dismantled. Does somebody know?

Hi Mark

Thanks to all for this info.  Is there documentation as to where I link this file to GC?

I'm thinking it's n tools tab but wasn't sure.

Regards,

Steve Le<Mire

Mark, I am the owner of https://www.ergdb.org.  I did not realize you guys found the site as we were just beta testing so I had turned it off for a while but now it will remain stable.  I would be happy to build the necessary API's to allow you/GC to connect without much effort.  Let me know ~alex

It looks really  nice, we should chat / swap emails. I like the idea of querying with a pic of the workout.

We could also look to upload too, maybe once the basics are working?

Any restful type API would work, if you already have one we can adapt. otherwise, how about something like:

- list

have optional query parameters; desc freetext, duration, [if/tss (?)]

returns id, desc, thumbnail etc.

- download

use workout id returned in list?

return payload with workout, desc, duration and type

- upload

pass apikey and nickname, provide desc, duration and type (mrc/zwo) with payload in mrc/zwo format

I realise that you ask users to register before uploading, that might be something we could look to work around e.g. goldencheetah uses an api secret to upload, the user must have a nickname setup in preferences. That way upload wouldn't be open to abuse by others and could be controlled in GC too.

I think the thumbnails are ace btw.

WRT TSS/IF if you are using an embedded FTP= setting then the TSS/IF (or BikeScore, RI if you prefer) should scale too, but you don't calculate them at present, maybe consider that at a later stage?

[Alex VanLaningham]

Sounds good Mark, my email is avanlaningham/gmail.  Your API specs are fine. Without registration is fine.  I have a solid understanding of TSS/IF but we can discuss to make sure I fully understand what your thoughts, search by TSS range makes sense and I like it.  On a previous project, I was trying to match up with TrainingPeaks TSS but never could get my results to match their numbers perfectly using TCX files (you might have an algorithm that you feel is good).  Just send me an email and we can figure it out details.  It sounds pretty straight forward but it would be great to understand how these features are used within GC.  ~alex

Hi Alex,

I just registered and created a workout on https://www.ergdb.org but received the below error message when trying to download it:

"Unexpected end of JSON input"

Please let me know how to download.

Best, Brendon

Sorry about that Brendon, let me review tomorrow and I should be able to get that fixed ASAP.  

[Alex VanLaningham]

Brendon, this issue is resolved you can now download that workout and you should not run into any other issues.

Strange Alex, I can download the other workouts but receive this error message when downloading one that I've created.
"Unexpected token . in JSON at position 168"

Can you please assist?

With thanks, Brendon
