Instabeat

Instabeat is a San Francisco based swimming technology company that builds a heart-rate monitoring device integrated directly into swim goggles, giving swimmers real-time, color-coded effort feedback (heart-rate zones), automatic stroke detection, lap counting, pace, distance and rest-interval tracking without a chest strap or wrist watch. Paired with the Instabeat mobile app and myinstabeat.com, it delivers data-driven training insights so swimmers can adjust workouts in the water rather than after the session. The company sells the device through a Shopify storefront and has tested the product with 250+ swimmers across 56 countries. Added to the API Evangelist network as a 500 Global portfolio company; no public developer or API surface has been identified.

Instabeat is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Wearables, Fitness, Swimming, and Heart Rate Monitoring.

Instabeat’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 3 more developer resources.
