Garmin OAuth Flow

This document outlines the process to implement the Garmin OAuth flow for accessing Garmin APIs.

Overview​

Garmin uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize third-party applications to access a user's data. The flow includes:

  1. User Authorization
    Direct the user to Garmin's authorization endpoint.

  2. User Consent
    The user grants the necessary permissions.

  3. Authorization Code
    After consent, an authorization code is provided.

  4. Token Exchange
    Exchange the code for an access token (and optionally a refresh token).

  5. Access Garmin APIs
    Use the access token to make API calls.

Implementation Details​

  • Register your application with Garmin.
  • Configure OAuth credentials.
  • Use secure methods to store and exchange tokens.
