1. Setup — wearipedia documentation

At $299 + $5.99 per month and a weight of just 4-6 grams, the Oura Ring 3 is a unique Sleep and physical activity tracker that, beyond having a price-to-weight ratio higher than gold, has achieved much attention for its ease of use in clinical studies and comfortable wear.

We have used the Oura ring for a month, and we will show you how to extract its data, visualize sleep stages for time and compute correlations and statistical significance from sleep scores to step counts.

This is a comprehensive, clear guide to extract our data from the Oura Ring 3 using the Oura API. Links to external resources and official Oura documentation are provided sporadically throughout the guide for further reference.

If you want to learn more about the Oura ring, see the README for a detailed analysis of performance, sensors, data privacy, and extraction pipelines.

A list of the most important accessible data categories is provided below, For the full list, access the meta_api_data in section 3.2. There are two versions of the API: versions 1 and 2, so (V1) and (V2) in the parameter list refer to the API version. Version 2 of the API is the more recent version that’s still being updated and will replace version 1, and that’s why both are included here. The items in bold are the ones we use in the notebook.
