"Payment Required" to access garmin connect activities api?

[fvanoostrom]

I get this error when trying to fetch new activities:

402 Client Error: Payment Required for url: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/activitylist-service/activities/search/activities?startDate=2021-02-19&endDate=2021-03-08&start=0&limit=20

A few weeks ago I got messages about reaching the api limit although I hadn't used it for days. But this message seems to indicate that garmin made changes to the api which the garmin connect library uses? I can't find the documentation of garmin about the API.

Has garmin indeed made changes and do we need to pay?

An update to the library seems to have resolved it. I'm curious to what has changed to fix this issue since it looks like a very basic operation (the URL seemed correct, login was succesfull)

@fvanoostrom the fix was simply a change of the base url, see here:

@cyberjunky Pardon the bump of a closed issue -- I've been unable to find any public documentation about the Garmin Connect API -- how are you figuring these things out? :) I assume you have a business developer account from https://developer.garmin.com/gc-developer-program/activity-api/ or are you doing some serious reverse-engineering?

[cyberjunky]

I believe the developer program costs 5K EUR to join and only 'skilled developers' with track records may join, so i'm open for donations ;-) The code has parts of other open-source projects and other links were reverged enginered from the website javascript source code.
