Same here. I've been scraping the data from my Garmin watch for years with very little problems (first with https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB, then https://github.com/sealbro/dotnet.garmin.connect).

The only annoyance is that Garmin requires 2FA if you enable the ECG feature on your smart watch/fitness tracker, but I have a small program that reads the 2FA codes from my Gmail inbox and supplies them to the scraper without too much trouble.

> the wording is not human at all

Or they are not a native speaker. I guess it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't situation". Use a LLM to clean up your own prose? Bad. Post your unedited (or self-edited) prose? I guess it is "not human".

> JSON, which is [...] unambiguous about its types

With the one exception that with floatig point values the precision is not specified in the JSON spec and thus is implementation defined[1] which may lead to its own issues and corner cases. It for sure is better than YAML's 'NO' problem, but depending on your needs JSON may have issues as well
