Steps
Register an app in the WHOOP developer dashboard to get a client ID and client secret
Redirect the user through the OAuth 2.0 authorize flow requesting scopes such as read:recovery and read:sleep, plus offline if you need a refresh token
Exchange the authorization code for an access token and refresh token at the token endpoint
Call the paginated recovery and sleep collection endpoints, which return results sorted by start time descending
Refresh the access token roughly hourly using the refresh token, re-requesting the offline scope on each refresh
Call the revoke-access endpoint when a user disconnects your app so you stop receiving webhooks for them
Known gotchas
Without the offline scope you won't receive a refresh token, forcing repeated full re-authentication
WHOOP access tokens are short-lived (about an hour) — plan for proactive refresh rather than reacting only to 401s
WHOOP has an active v1-to-v2 API migration — check the migration guide before starting a new integration on either version
