**Integration Summary**
Validic is pleased to announce we have upgraded the Validic marketplace with the newest version of Garmin's REST API. This upgraded integration continues to provide support for authenticating and retrieving a Garmin user’s fitness, routine, & sleep data and adds support for weight data.
No matter what your fitness level or activity preference is, Garmin has you covered. Garmin's line of activity trackers and smartwatches helps you track your activity, then save, plan and share your progress with others. By helping you move a little more each day, you can beat yesterday with the devices that fit your activity level and preferred sport.
To request the addition of Garmin to your marketplace, please submit a request to [support@validic.com](mailto:support@validic.com). For a basic understanding of how to sync a device or app with Validic, please review our “[Marketplace Syncing](http://help.validic.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2877609-marketplace-syncing-process)” overview.
