Find available functions (beta, planned) - e.g. battery time left in days, body battery, stress and more

There are the API docs here (https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/method_list.html) and you can search them, so far so good.

Question 1:

Is there a place where new API functions are announced? E.g. I just recently realised that oxygen saturation was exposed via API on many devices running API 3.2.0... I would like to know if i can check a place regularly to get this information and don't miss that.

Question 2:

I think I've read somewhere inside this forum that new values will be exposed via the next API generation in the future - is there any overview of this? Or is there at least a API documentation somewhere of the new SDK?

hi,

you just have to check the API doc, and here

forums.garmin.com/.../news-announcements

about new functions

you have to download the beta SDK and through Eclipse (or VScode) check the inside API doc, everything is in there

When you download an SDK, it contains all the doc for that SDK. When that SDK is active in Eclipse or VS Code, it's easy to see. In Eclipse, the Connect IQ Menu>Api Doc. In VS Code, command palette>Monkyc:view documentation.

Here's a general post about what's new in System 5.

the data the spo2 history iterator returns is unfortunately completely bogus, I'd suggest to wait for the bug report to be resolved before looking into it.

thanks all for the information, I did not know there is a doc inside the SDK as well
