How it works

Your users connect Garmin. Sahha does the rest.

This is your user’s side of the story — one screen, once. Sahha ingests every Garmin signal, normalizes, deduplicates, and delivers it to your service — raw, or as refined intelligence your product can act on.

Your brand on the consent screen

You register your own Garmin app, so users authorize your product — not a third party they’ve never heard of.

Your own rate limits

Your Garmin quota is yours alone — never shared with, or throttled by, another customer’s traffic.

Data coverage

Everything Garmin measures — in one schema.

Works with FenixForerunnerVenuvívoactiveInstinctIndex scale
  • Typed & unit-consistent

    Seconds become minutes, grams become kilograms, and every value carries its own type and unit.

  • Real-time & backfilled

    Garmin pushes each summary to Sahha as it uploads, with history backfilled on connect.

  • One schema, every source

    Garmin, Oura, and Apple Health all return the same fields and units.

Garmin delivers HRV as an overnight RMSSD average and SpO₂ and respiration as time-offset series; Sahha reduces each to a normalized daily biomarker. Backfill depth depends on the user’s Garmin history.

Sahha turns these signals into biomarkers, scores, archetypes, and insights — the modeling done for you.

Build vs. buy

Building on Garmin’s Health API yourself? Here’s the to-do list.

Everything on the left is yours to write, test, and maintain. Everything on the right, Sahha already did.

Every wearable
Build it yourself
  • Integrate Garmin.
  • Then Oura, from scratch.
  • Then Whoop, from scratch.
With Sahha

One integration covers every source.

Getting connected
Build it yourself
  • Get Health API access.
  • Write the OAuth flow.
  • Store and refresh the tokens.
With Sahha

A hosted link — tokens stored and refreshed for you.

Getting the data
Build it yourself
  • Handle summary push pings.
  • Reconcile nine summary types.
  • Backfill the history.
With Sahha

Every summary pushed the moment it uploads — history included.

Making it usable
Build it yourself
  • Convert seconds to minutes.
  • Convert grams to kilograms.
  • Flatten the offset maps.
With Sahha

Clean, typed, one schema — out of the box.

Turning it into insight
Build it yourself
  • Build a sleep model.
  • Build a readiness model.
  • Hire a data scientist.
With Sahha

Scores, archetypes, and insights — built in.

Keeping it alive
Build it yourself
  • Garmin revises the Health API.
  • You find out in production.
With Sahha

We version the pipeline. You never notice.

One thing stays yours: your own Garmin Health API app — so your brand is on the consent screen and your rate limits are your own. Sahha runs the rest.

Setup

Live in an afternoon, not a sprint.

  1. App nameGarmin · Production
    Client IDgarmin_a1b2c3•••
    Client secret••••••••••••••••
    01

    Register your Garmin app

    Request Garmin Health API access and create a developer app, then copy your consumer key and secret. This is what puts your brand on the consent screen and keeps your rate limits your own.

  2. Integrations
    GarminGarmin
    Credentials added · Enabled

    Add your credentials to Sahha

    Paste the consumer key and secret into the Sahha dashboard and enable Garmin. That’s the last thing you build.

  3. 03

    Your users connect their watch

    Send users through a hosted consent screen — branded as your app. They approve, and Sahha runs the OAuth handshake and stores and refreshes the tokens.

    Data lands in your app

    Sahha backfills history, normalizes every summary to one schema, and pushes each new Garmin upload by webhook. You read biomarkers and scores by webhook or API.

Garmin Health API access requires approval from Garmin — plan for that step when you scope the work.

Destinations

Route it into your stack.

Sahha streams every update to your webhook — and a step-by-step guide takes it the rest of the way into your database, CDP, or messaging tool.

FAQ

Garmin integration questions

Does Garmin work with Apple Health?

No — Garmin does not write to Apple Health. Sahha connects to Garmin through the Garmin Health API (a cloud connection), so you get Garmin data on iOS and Android alike, without depending on Apple Health.

Do I need my own Garmin developer account?

Yes. You request Garmin Health API access and register your own app, then add the credentials to Sahha. This keeps your brand on the consent screen and your rate limits separate from every other customer. Sahha runs the pipeline after that.

Which Garmin metrics does Sahha provide?

Sleep stages, heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV, blood oxygen, respiration, VO₂ max, steps, distance, calories, floors, workouts, and body composition — all normalized to Sahha’s schema, plus Sleep, Readiness, and Activity scores and archetypes.

How is Garmin data delivered?

In near real time. Garmin pushes each summary to Sahha as the device uploads it, and Sahha forwards it to your app by webhook. History is backfilled when a user first connects.

Is the Garmin integration HIPAA and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Sahha is HIPAA and GDPR compliant and SOC 2 certified, and Garmin data flows through the same compliant pipeline as every other source.

More integrations

One API for every other source, too.

Add another wearable or app and the schema, webhooks, and scores are identical — no new pipeline to build.
