I am using List Athlete Activities from Strava API. When the uploaded activity is received as a response value, Is it possible to distinguish whether the data was uploaded from garmin by the value of external_id?

Hi there, 

While the external_id can give insight into where an activity came from, we recommend relying on the Detailed Activity endpoint as the source of truth as it contains device information (ie. device_name).
