Garmin API Integration
With Terra's Garmin web API integration, your Garmin users can sync fitness data with your app. The Terra Garmin API Integration sends detailed fitness data captured by user's Garmin smartwatches, such as intra-workout heart rate, distance covered, detailed speed throughout a user's workout, and more. You will also receive data throughout the day, whenever new data is available, with health metrics like steps, heart rate, and sleep information. This can include the duration spent in each sleep stage, and even detailed hypnogram information throughout the night.Start Receiving Data From Garmin In 5 Minutes

How the Garmin API integration works
- Data delivery
- Garmin pushes to Terra on change
- Expected latency
- Seconds after the provider syncs
- Data types
- Activity, Body, Daily and Sleep
- Credentials
- Terra manages the Garmin API credentials, so there is nothing to register
Two ways to receive Garmin data
When data is available from a Garmin device, Terra sends it straight to your webhook. During your Terra account setup you'll be prompted for a callback URL, and that is where Terra POSTs each payload.
Garmin notifies Terra as soon as new data is available, and we POST the normalized payload straight to your webhook. No polling needed.
Garmin's Activity
Payload Preview
Terra API preserves the raw data from the wearable, it just standardizes the units and the json format. It doesn’t augment or change the raw data in any way.
Data is organized into one of 6 data types.
