  description: The Polar Open AccessLink API gives partners structured OAuth2-based access to Polar Flow user
    data — training sessions, daily activity, continuous heart rate, sleep, Nightly Recharge, Cardio Load,
    SleepWise alertness and circadian bedtime, Elixir biosensing (ECG, SpO2, skin and body temperature,
    skin contacts), exercise files in FIT/TCX/GPX format, and webhooks for real-time notifications when
    new user data is available. Operates against https://www.polaraccesslink.com/ with both transactional
    (data discarded after retrieval) and non-transactional endpoints.

  description: The Polar TeamPro API exposes team and player training data captured by the Polar Team Pro
    system. Endpoints return teams, sport profiles, team and player training sessions with date-range filters,
    detailed per-session metrics (heart rate, speed, power, acceleration), session summaries and phase
    summaries. OAuth2 authorization-code flow with the team_read scope. Rate limited to 1 request/second
    with a 100-request burst allowance.

description: Polar Electro Oy (operating as Polar Global) is a Finnish sports and fitness technology company
  founded in 1977 and headquartered in Kempele, Finland. Polar invented the first wireless wearable heart
  rate monitor — the Sport Tester PE 2000 in 1982 — and remains one of the longest-standing brands in
  consumer heart rate sensing, GPS sports watches, and fitness wearables. The Polar device portfolio
  includes the H10 and H9 chest straps, the Verity Sense and OH1 optical sensors, the Polar 360 and Loop
  fitness bands, and the Vantage, Grit X, Pacer, Ignite, and Unite watch lines, along with a dedicated
  equine sensor line. Developers access Polar data through the Polar AccessLink API for consumer Polar Flow
  data, the Polar TeamPro API for team and player training sessions, and the open-source Polar BLE SDK for
  iOS and Android applications that stream live sensor data over Bluetooth Low Energy.
