-Simple-Apple-Health-XML-to-CSV
+# Simple Apple Health XML to CSV
+
+A simple script to convert Apple Health's export.xml file to an easy to use csv.
+
+
+
+## How to Run
+
+1. ####Verify you have pandas installed on your machine or environment
+
+`python -c "import pandas"` should return blank from the command line
+
+If you get a _**ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'**_ error, install pandas:
+
+`pip install pandas`
+
+
+
+2. ####Export your Apple Health Data
+
+   Go to your health home screen and click on the profile icon
+
+<img style="float: left;" src="health_home.PNG" width=300>
+
+On the next page, click the "Export Health Data" button
+
+<img style="float: left;" src="export_data_button.jpg" width = 300 >
+
+Your data will be prepared, and then you can transfer the export.zip file to your machine.
+
+3. Unzip the file, which should contain:
+
+   * apple_health_export
+     * export.xml
+     * export_cda.xml
+
+4. Place the **apple_health_xml_convert.py** into the folder alongside the files
+
+5. Run the script with `python apple_health_xml_convert.py`
+
+   
+
+The export will be written with the format:
+
+* **apple_health_export_YYYY-MM-DD.csv**
+
