Hackatime Compatibility

[lheintzmann1]

Hi,

I have exported my heartbeats in JSON from https://hackatime.hackclub.com and I'm trying to import them into Ziit.
When I click the import data button, a green message "Wakatime data import started" appear, then a red one saying "File import failed..." something like this.

@dosu
Hackatime is Wakatime compatible so I think the JSON is correct.
Here it is if you want to check.

I will wait for a human...

OH, man I thought I turned off these shitty dosubot answers haha.

Anyway, can you tell me the error that shows up in the network tab for the request. It also seems that your export file has a different schema than the wakatime export file, which may be the problem since it will fail validation.

Hi,
no problem haha.
Here is the error

Yes it seems the file is not the same scheme as the wakatime file that is why it fails validation here

Oh ok, thank you for your help. Do you think a program to "convert" Hackatime JSON to Wakatime-compatible JSON would be possible ?

Probably, but it would make it much easier if hackatime could update their way of exporting the data to match the exact schema of wakatime. However, that would make it even more complicated since the export file of wakatime no longer includes the user agents directly but only a reference ID, which then again requires API access. So in the best possible scenario, they would implement an API structure like wakapi. The users could then use the Wakapi import option in the ziit settings and just provide the instance URL of hackatime.

I know im a bit late but I have created a simple converter. Check it out here:
