## Query parameters

- `limit` integer
- `start` string, date-time
- `end` string, date-time
- `nextToken` string

## Response `200`

Successful request

- PaginatedCycleResponse
  - `records` Cycle[]: The collection of records in this page.
    - `id` integer, required: Unique identifier for the physiological cycle
    - `user_id` integer, required: The WHOOP User for the physiological cycle
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required: The time the cycle was recorded in WHOOP
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required: The time the cycle was last updated in WHOOP
    - `start` string, date-time, required: Start time bound of the cycle
    - `end` string, date-time: End time bound of the cycle. If not present, the user is currently in this cycle
    - `timezone_offset` string, required: The user's timezone offset at the time the cycle was recorded. Follows format for Time Zone Designator (TZD) - '+hh:mm', '-hh:mm', or 'Z'.
    - `score_state` 'SCORED' | 'PENDING_SCORE' | 'UNSCORABLE', required: `SCORED` means the cycle was scored and the measurement values will be present. `PENDING_SCORE` means WHOOP is currently evaluating the cycle. `UNSCORABLE` means this activity could not be scored for some reason - commonly because there is not enough user metric data for the time range.
    - `score` CycleScore: WHOOP's measurements and evaluation of the cycle. Only present if the score state is `SCORED`
      - `strain` number, float, required: WHOOP metric of the cardiovascular load - the level of strain on the user's cardiovascular system based on the user's heart rate during the cycle. Strain is scored on a scale from 0 to 21.
      - `kilojoule` number, float, required: Kilojoules the user expended during the cycle.
      - `average_heart_rate` integer, required: The user's average heart rate during the cycle.
      - `max_heart_rate` integer, required: The user's max heart rate during the cycle.
    - `step_count` integer, nullable: Total number of steps taken during the cycle. Null when no step data exists for the cycle (e.g. the device was not worn for the full cycle).
  - `next_token` string: A token that can be used on the next request to access the next page of records. If the token is not present, there are no more records in the collection.
