system 7 and web requests from main process

You mean in a datafield?

There shouldn't be any difference in the code. Any example you find should work. developer.garmin.com/.../Communications.html

And according to my understanding there's no once in 5 minute limitation, but I haven't tried it yet.

@flocsy actually in a watchface

or does the watchfaces still limit it in the background and five minutes?

I don't have any watchface so I less look at those things, but I don't remember any change in that regard, only about datafield

Nothing changed for watch faces.  You can't do Comm from the main app, only a background service, and the background can run at most every 5 minutes.

You can't use Communications from the main app in a watch face.  You can only do it in a background service with a watch face

I think this 7061608  user is some kind of spam bot. Arguably more advanced than those that post a link in their first attempt, but after seeing their last 2 "responses" I wouldn't be surprised if it's generated with ChatGPT

Brandon.ConnectIQ I think it's time for Garmin to do something with these spams. Recently (like last month, maybe 2) we have a spike of spams with links to some advertisment page, and now this hallucinating AI generated nonsense. This is even worse than the spam, as if these code snippets get indexed by search engines then people will find this nonsense even years from now. Please delete this user and everything it posted.
