Step-by-step (flow.polar.com)
- Sign in at flow.polar.com.
- Click your name (top right) → Account Settings.
- Scroll to Export account data (GDPR section).
- Click Export. Polar emails a download link within a few minutes.
- Open the email and download the
.zip— usually 5–20 MB depending on history.
What's in the file?
The .zip contains .json files: training-sessions.json,daily-activity.json, sleep.json, nightly-recharge.json. Upload the whole .zip — we extract daily HRV, RHR, sleep, and recovery fromnightly-recharge.json and sleep.json.
Heads-up
- You need a Polar device that supports Nightly Recharge (Vantage V/V2/V3, Ignite series, Grit X, H10 + Polar Flow nightly) for HRV trend data.
- If you only see
training-sessions.jsonwith no sleep / recharge, your device or app version doesn't track those metrics — Polar Beat-only accounts will have limited data. - Per-session TCX files are also in the export but Whale DNA doesn't need them.
