Missing data current day

[Sweak90]

Is there a limitation to the health connect platform or why am I not getting all the entries from the gateway?
for example, steps not showing at all for today, heartRate just some of it.

curl
--request POST 'https://api.hcgateway.shuchir.dev/api/v2/fetch/steps'
--header "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"
--header "Content-Type: application/json"
--data '{
"queries": {
"start": {
"$gte": "2025-06-16T00:00:00Z",
"$lte": "2025-07-15T23:59:59Z"
}
}
}'

It's possible this is a limitation with your source app; for example, (if I remember correctly) Samsung Health only uploads one health record per day for steps. If you go to phone settings > search for Health Connect and open the app > Data and Access > steps or HR, do you see entries here that aren't on hcgateway? If so, try clicking sync now in HCGateway to see if they show up.

Thank you for the quick response!
I am indeed using samsung health so some data is synced daily then...
I also looked in my google fitness app and can confirm that the steps is not synced until the end of the day. But heartrate should, which is strange.

Anyway, it is then not great to use samsung health for hourly checks. Are the samsung watches hardcoded to only use Samsung health for continuous checks or can you recommend any other app as a source?

sorry for the late reply- I'm not sure if there is a way to use a different source app...maybe installing google fit on both phone and watch might work?

Today's health data is not updating through the HCGateway API server. Despite successful authentication and API connectivity, the latest data available is from 26-28 days ago (July 7-9, 2025), indicating a significant sync gap.

Detailed Testing Results

🔍 API Endpoint Testing (Tested: August 4, 2025)

Steps Data (/api/health-connect?type=steps&days=1)

• ✅ API Status: Working, authenticated successfully
• ❌ Data Freshness: Latest data from July 9, 2025 (26 days old)
• 📊 Data Found: 100 records in 30-day range (1,046 total available)
• 🔄 Behavior: API falls back to wider date ranges when today's data is missing

Heart Rate Data (/api/health-connect?type=heartRate&days=1)

• ✅ API Status: Working, authenticated successfully
• ❌ Data Freshness: Latest data from July 7, 2025 (28 days old)
• 📊 Data Found: 100 records with BPM readings (55-104 range)
• 🏥 Apps Detected: com.heytap.health.international (primary source)

Sleep Session Data (/api/health-connect?type=sleepSession&days=1)

• ✅ API Status: Working, authenticated successfully
• ❌ Data Freshness: Latest data from August 3, 2025 (1 day old)
• 📊 Data Found: 1 sleep session (6.15 hours duration)
• 💡 Note: Sleep data is more recent than steps/heart rate

🔧 Technical Details

Authentication & API Health

• ✅ HCGateway credentials configured and working
• ✅ Token management functioning (10+ minute cache, auto-refresh)
• ✅ Base URL responding: https://api.hcgateway.shuchir.dev
• ✅ Endpoint accessibility confirmed

Data Sources Identified

• com.google.android.apps.fitness (Google Fit)
• com.heytap.health.international (OHealth)

🚨 Root Cause Analysis

Evidence Supporting Device-Side Issue

• API authentication ✅ works
• Historical data ✅ available
• Multiple data types affected (steps, heart rate)
• Sleep data recent (suggests recent sync works)

🔧 Attempted Solutions

• Custom sync via app: Tried manual sync - no improvement
• API endpoint sync: Tested POST sync action - appears to be placeholder
• Multiple data type testing: Confirmed issue across steps, heart rate, not tested others

💡 Additional Context

• Authentication and token management are robust
• The issue appears to be device-side data collection rather than API-side problems
• Sleep data being recent suggests partial functionality

@ShuchirJ Please look into this !!..
Would appreciate guidance on device-side troubleshooting steps or if there are known issues with recent Health Connect versions affecting data sync frequency.

have you confirmed recent data is available in the health connect app? looking into this though

Yes, Every Recent Data is Updated in the Health Connect App.
