> ℹ️ Approval requires direct relationship with Dexcom. Acceptance is not guaranteed.

Validic is pleased to announce we are expanding the Validic Marketplace with the addition of continuous glucose monitoring with Dexcom CGMs. Dexcom helps to simplify diabetes management with exceptional accuracy and convenience.  The Dexcom integration offers blood glucose level tracking throughout the day and night so that users can see how food, activity, and insulin affect their levels.

To request the addition of Dexcom to your marketplace, please submit a request to [support@validic.com](mailto:support@validic.com). Customer applications are subject to pre-approval and special licensing requirements defined by Dexcom in order to receive data from Dexcom meters. For a basic understanding of how to sync a device or app with Validic, please review our “[Marketplace Syncing](https://support.validic.com/customer/portal/articles/2877609-marketplace-syncing-process)” overview.

> ℹ️ Dexcom has their own rules for who they work with and what types of projects they support. They decide whether to approve a client or request. Validic can share contact details and help make introductions, but we cannot promise approval or say when they will respond.

## **CGM Data Model**

A sample of `cgm` data can be found in our Inform documentation: [https://helpdocs.validic.com/docs/high-frequency-data](https://helpdocs.validic.com/docs/high-frequency-data) 

## **PDF Reports**

Additionally, a download link for the AGP report PDF file from Dexcom Clarity is available in the Inform APIs.

> 📝 Your Inform organization must be set up to request these pdf reports from Dexcom. Please reach out to the Validic Support team for assistance.

You will find download link(s) for the report(s) that have been enabled by Dexcom in the `measurements` records. This information is available as `tags` in the `measurements` records, as follows:

- `agp_report_url` includes a link to download the pdf version of the AGP report associated with the time range (`start_time` and `end_time`) of the `measurements` record.
- `daily_log_url` includes a link to download the pdf version of the daily log report associated with the time range (`start_time` and `end_time`) of the `measurements` record.
- `daily_patterns_url` includes a link to download the pdf version of the daily patterns report associated with the time range (`start_time` and `end_time`) of the `measurements` record.

You must append your org token as a query param at the end of these report urls in order to access the pdf reports (e.g., “`token=:ORG_TOKEN`”). For example:

```
https://api.v2.validic.com/organizations/:ORG_ID/users/:UID/measurements/:RECORDID/media/:PDFID.pdf?token=:ORG_TOKEN
