Chrome extension working again!

The Chrome extension is now fixed! You must update to version 1.4.1 to use the fixed code. It should eventually update automatically, but if you want to update it right now you can browse to this URL: chrome://extensions/ and click the Update button at the top.

I also made a quick speed upgrade. The old version took over a minute to update the data, but with the new version it takes about 5 seconds! I've submitted two versions with the speed upgrade. Version 1.4.2 had a bug. Version 1.4.3 is the version that works.

What caused this issue?

Garmin changed the URLs to the files that the extension fetch. The part 'modern/proxy/' was removed from the URLs.

Garmin also added two new required headers. One is a static header and the other is an dynamic header that can be fetched from localStorage in the browser.

  • 'di-backend': 'connectapi.garmin.com'
  • 'Authorization':'Bearer ' + JSON.parse(localStorage.token).access_token

    Great news! All the work that you put into this is really appreciated. Your challenge progress spreadsheet is a fantastic innovation. At some point, I hope that you can find the time to investigate the double postings in your "100 most recent badges awarded" list. I wonder if you (like me) observe a garminbadges.com points tally considerably higher than your Garmin Connect tally (and if this could be related to some double-counting).

      I haven't noticed the error in points in that page. I will look into that. The points are correct in the front page with all the badges.

      Indeed, I should have specified that the points mismatch that I see is in the badge points list (higher than on the front page).

      This bug should now be fixed and the points in the top list are correct again. Thank you for making me aware of this issue.

      It is a common issue. For me the progress is 0 every morning and is updated to the correct progress after I've reported at least 64 oz of fluid.

      Hi Caitlyn, I have the same issue. It only appears for me after I do manual sync.

    Any thoughts on making a list of .FIT or .TCX files for people to download of specific badges they can upload for their own profile?

      I've thought about it and don't want to do that. I've helped a few users with the multisport badge since their watches didn't support multisport, but having a file for each badge would support cheating.

Dance Fitness has arrived

Image
Five new badges are here. Garmin accidentally added them in September but they were quickly removed. In September there were 13 badges so we will probably soon see even more badges added. Garmin has added a new activity type "Dance Fitness" in the Gym & Fitness Equipment category so you can switch to that for all your dance fitness activities. I don't see the new type in Garmin Connect app on Android so it will need to come in an update. In the web it is already there. To add songs for the Mixtape badge you press the lap button. Each lap will add another song. Until we get Dance Fitness on the watches you can log with Cardio and press lap for each song. After save and sync you switch activity type in Garmin Connect to Dance Fitness. Garmin Badge Database Garmin Connect Change country setting

The Tournament of badges - New badges will come soon!

Image
Update 2023-08-10 The winner is "30 for 30" and it will go live September 1. Description "Record an activity of at least 30 minutes every day for 30 consecutive days." ---- Update 2023-08-02 There has come some more info now. Check out Garmin's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/garmin/ There is a story where you cast your vote for which badge that will win.. Link to the Story Exactly what that means is a bit unclear. Will only one of the listed badges go live? Maybe some of the other badges will come later on... Only time will tell. ---- We will very soon see a bunch of new badges that I just found out about. No idea when they will go public. Note that these badges got no time limit. Some of them will be really really hard. Swim streak will probably be the toughest for me. In general I think that the streak badges are the hardest since you can't miss a single day and life often makes you do that. Sleep Savant Receive sleep data for 30 consecutive days. S
