3. How We Currently Collect Garmin Information
Century Club members use Garmin wearable devices to track fitness, activity, sleep, and recovery measurements.
At present, Century Club does not receive member information through a direct Garmin Connect API integration.
Instead, members may voluntarily provide selected Garmin-derived measurements for use in weekly competitions, scoreboards, performance tracking, and coaching.
Information may be collected through member submissions, manually entered records, or other authorized methods.
Century Club is an independent organization and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Garmin.
4. Planned Garmin Connect API Integration
Century Club is developing a web application intended to support direct integration with Garmin Connect through Garmin's authorized developer program.
Once approved and implemented, participating members will be able to authorize Century Club to receive permitted fitness and activity information from their Garmin accounts.
The integration is expected to support:
- Automated fitness data collection
- Member performance dashboards
- Weekly fitness scoreboards
- Team and individual competitions
- Historical progress tracking
- Coaching and accountability features
The precise information available will depend on Garmin's API capabilities, connected devices, member permissions, and applicable developer terms.
Members will receive information about the integration and its data-sharing implications before authorizing access.
Garmin authorization will be voluntary. Members who decline may be unable to use certain automated tracking features.
Century Club will not request members' Garmin passwords directly as part of the approved integration.
