How to get your Garmin Personal API key
About a minute. You need a Garmin Connect account.
Five steps
Open connect.garmin.com/app/settings/personalApiToken and sign in.
Click Create Key and accept Garmin's terms.
Choose 1 year. A shorter expiry works too.
Click Create, then copy the key. Garmin shows it only once.
Paste it into the box on the analyzer page and click Connect my Garmin.
Use only your own key.
Expiry
One year is convenient. A shorter expiry limits how long a lost key could be used. Garmin emails you a week before it ends.
Revoke it
Delete the key on the same Garmin page. That cancels it and the tokens made from it. "Forget everything" in NAVIG does not do this.
What NAVIG can read
- Activities, with routes and heart rate
- Sleep, HRV, body battery, stress and steps
- Heart-rate zones
It never sees your password. Menstrual and food data are not included.
