Garmin Revamps and Opens Up Connect Developer API Programhttps://www.dcrainmaker.com/2026/10/garmin-connect-api-revamps-connect-developer.html

Not exactly related to programming, but as a Garmin user I've always wanted an API for personal access so I can make my own stuff on top of it. I also really like the fact that they have a tier specifically targeting personal use. My prediction and fear is that, with AI allowing people to code their own apps, companies will become more jealous of the data they collect (even though it's not theirs, of course). So seeing Garmin going in the opposite direction makes me happy. Direct link to the program: https://developer.garmin.com/gc-developer-program/overview/ Comments

So if the model provider charges x, higgsfield charges a markup of + 50% on top.
