Garmin Fitness Tracker - Synch data?

Ask for Help
1

Does anyone know if it is possible to synch fitness data from a Garmin App or Garmin device or an Apple watch or phone?

For background, I would like to build an App for a friend who is a fitness instructor. She runs courses that require members to carry out daily challenges. Part of the ask is to enable members to regularly upload or synch their fitness tracking data, either from their wearable device or from an App that has synched with their wearable device. For examples, step count, calories burnt, etc…

Any tips or advice about how to do this with Glide would be much appreciated.

Garmin has an API, but as I understand you might have to get the auth token of each user that is using the app to be able to sync their data. Not sure how it scales.

Thanks for the response. Looks like it is possible but seems daunting. I would only require tokens to support fewer than 100 users per year - I guess they want people to use their products and so it’s in their interest to assist tech builders. I will take a look and see if it’s a rabbit hole that might be fun to explore…

Here as an intro video I found:
