If you decide to top using the hosted Wakapi service at wakapi.dev and switch to a self-hosted instance instead, here is how to perform that migration.

  1. Set up your own Wakapi instance and create a user account, if not already done. Please follow this guide.
  2. Get your API key from wakapi.dev

  3. On your own instance, go to Settings -> Integration

  4. Add https://wakapi.dev/api/compat/wakatime/v1 as the server URL and paste your API key
  5. Click Connect
  6. Click Import data

The data import is in progress now. Depending on your amount of coding data stored on Wakapi, this might well take up to 30 minutes or so. You'll know the import is finished if you can see your Today coding stats on the summary page.

Don't forget to click Disconnect again in the settings after the import.

Please note: Only your actual coding data will be covered by the import. User settings, as well as aliases, language mappings, etc. won't be imported. You'll have to set them manually on your local instance. Shouldn't take long, though.

Have fun! 🙌
