What is the difference between Starter and Enterprise access?
Starter Access: Developers can gain immediate access and launch with Garmin, with access to core data and tools.
Enterprise Access: For companies operating at scale, this new model aligns with growth, offering expanded data access, reliability, and enterprise-grade support.
What if I would like API access to my data for personal use?
Please visit the Garmin Connect Personal API for more information.
What is the integration process like, and how long does it take?
After you request access to the Garmin Connect Developer Program and your request has been approved, you will be granted access to the Garmin Developer Portal and can get started on your integration right away. All detailed technical information and documentation is available within the Garmin Developer Portal. A typical integration takes between 1 and 4 weeks.
Do the Garmin Connect Developer Program APIs support all upcoming new devices?
Yes, new devices are supported automatically. Additionally, the Garmin Connect Developer Program team makes every effort to ensure new data types are available as new devices launch, however it's not always possible to offer every metric.
Can I use multiple APIs for integration with my application?
Yes, you may utilize any or all APIs in a single application (Health, Activity, Women’s Health, Training and Courses).
What OAuth format do the Developer Program APIs use?
All APIs in the Developer Program use OAUTH 2.0.
I see the Connect IQ developer program allows for the creation of watch faces, data fields, widgets and applications. Do I need the Connect API to use this program?
No, the Garmin Connect Developer Program APIs and the Connect IQ programs are different programs. One does not require the use of the other. Learn more about Connect IQ and start using our free SDK.
Can I include Garmin wearables in my project / offering?
Absolutely. If you want to enhance your project by offering Garmin wearables, request the Garmin Connect Developer Program and contact us using the inquiry form with more information about your project.
