Steps

  1. Apply for Health API access through Garmin's developer program and await approval into an evaluation environment.
  2. Choose a Ping/Pull or Push integration architecture based on latency and infrastructure needs.
  3. Use the Backfill capability to request historical user data once a user has granted consent and connected their device.
  4. Consume the JSON summary payloads (steps, heart rate, sleep, stress, pulse ox, body battery, respiration) as devices sync to Garmin Connect.
  5. Use Garmin's Developer Web Tools sample data and auto-verification to validate the integration before requesting production access.
