Global Heatmaps Limited to 13 months data

Why are the global heatmaps now limited to 13 months of data? I am not sure when it changed but previously the global heatmaps data went back multiple years. Losing this functionality severely hampers route building for hiking, mountain biking, etc. An option to filter the timeframe for global heatmaps which is available for personal heat maps should be available and it should provide heatmap data that goes back as far as possible.

Token Exchange Error

I would sometimes get an error when calling the token exchange API: POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/token, but it would work if I make the exact same call for a second attempt. Anyone know why this is happening? In the “authenticaion” documentation on Strava Developers, one statement says the URL should be https://www.strava.com/oauth/token, while an example shows the URL as https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/token (I pasted below) Is this why my call to the API returns an error sometimes? Thanks.===================================================Token ExchangeStrava will respond to the authorization request by redirecting the user agent to the redirect_uri provided.If access is denied, error=access_denied will be included in the query string.If access is accepted, code and scope parameters will be included in the query string. The code parameter contains the authorization code required to complete the authentication process. code is short lived and can only be used once. The applic

Concurrent Strava API requests

Hi guys! I could use some help here. I’m trying to implement concurrency with my Strava API calls such that I can acquire activities on various athletes concurrently instead of one by one. However, despite my best efforts, I think there may be a limitation with the Strava API which does not support asynchronous operations. I tried wrapping the read requests within async.to_thread() but that didn’t seem to work. Have any of you guys bypassed this Strava limitation to get concurrency working? Thanks.

Find First Activity with a Specific Gear

I am trying to find the first bicycle ride I recorded on a specific bicycle “Gear” in Strava. I cannot find a way to search or filter activities by Gear. Is there a way to do this?

Hi, I was trying to build a route but I only get dotted lines and no real routes. Is there a problem somewhere? I've treid other browsers as well, but the problem remains.

Strava route builder: lines not following roads properly / route looks jagged

Hi, I’m experiencing a strange issue when using Strava’s route builder. The route lines don’t follow the roads properly — instead, they appear jagged and cut across terrain or buildings, without snapping cleanly to the streets or paths. I’ve attached a screenshot for reference. It looks like the route builder isn’t smoothing or aligning the line with actual roads, making the route look inaccurate and hard to trust. This isn’t related to GPS data, as it happens while manually drawing the route in the map tool. For context, I’m using the latest version of iOS and the Strava app on an iPhone 16 Pro. Has anyone else seen this? Is this a known bug or is there a fix/workaround? Thanks in advance!

Minimum Segment length ?

I noticed that someone recently asked that the minimum length of mountain bike Segments be decreased and the post was quickly archived by an admin on the basis that reverting Strava changes could not be discussed.I have some sympathy for the poster - I was also somewhat frustrated by the recent increase in minimum length of bike Segments from 300m to 500m.  In my area there has been some good competition over Segments about 400 to 450m in length but such Segments can no longer be created or edited (the change happened as I was working on a new Segment of about 450m - it now finishes closer to a T junction than I would like but editing is no longer possible).I don't remember seeing any requests from Strava users for such a change in the previous Strava Support forums so I wonder if someone at Strava could give some background to their reasons for making the change and their methodologies for determining minimum Segment lengths for each Activity type ?  Clearly measurement accu

Sharing rides to FB

Wasn’t sure where to ask this, so forgive me if it’s not the right place. I occasionally like to use the share to facebook feature for a ride, and in the past it would post showing a small map of the ride as well as some data (miles, speed, accomplishments). Lately though, it only displays a link, with no info. I’m not sure why, as I hadn’t changed anything. I see my friends shared rides still appearing the same, so I’m not sure why mine are different.
