Ask & Troubleshoot

Hello,I'm implementing a rate-limiter library in my code to make sure I don't overpass the limits.Are the 0auth calls (made to https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/token) also included in the rate limits? Thank youMarc

Last day, I decided, that I could try Workout app on Apple Watch instead of Strava. The main reason was, that Strava app doesn't record Cadence and there is no option, to setup intervals (and warmup, cooldown etc.). So far for this purpose, I was using Intervals Pro app from time to time. But the cadence reading was strangely off when exported to StravaSo I setup simple workout with 6 minutes warmup, one Work segment 5 miles long and 6 minutes cooldown.In activity App there is everything correct. Three intervals showing right data. Cadence. Even power (latest watchOS and iOS version).But after importing to Strava (using iOS Strava app import function), data are not correct.power is missingcadence is missingactivity has 57! laps with no clue, on which they are basedI googled the problem with laps, and there were some suggestions, that this is the problem with pace range notifications, which I have setup on every interval type in this particular custom Apple Watch workout...So the q

I have new strava profile.  Why in search conntact not showing my prifile?

I love the auto pause function so that Strava pauses when you stop running to have a sip of water or tie your shoes. The only unfortunate thing is that it doesn’t give the ‘real’ picture of a run and makes competition and comparison more unrealistic. As it is now, you can run as fast as you can for 2 miles and then sit to eat lunch for 30 minutes before running again as fast as you can for 2 miles. Strava will then, with auto pause, show that you have been running very fast for 4 miles which is not exactly true. A way to make use of the function in a good way would be to be able to show on an activity if and perhaps how many times the activity has been paused. This would make Strava better by eliminating unrealistic ideals in a world where everyone compares oneself to every other.

Hi,  My daughters name does not appear on the leaderboard for a certain Segment. Is it because of her age? She can see on her run analysis that she has clocked a time on the segment but her name does not appear on the overall list. Regards Ivan

Well, the title says it all, folks... It seems like this is gonna be a tough one to implement in Google App Scripts. There's not much out there in general for setting up these Strava webhooks, but it's even worse when trying to find ANYTHING on setting up in Google App Script. It seems to me, my best bet may be to migrate my code over to React/NodeJS/Java and go from there, given I can use ngrok and other libraries a lot more freely (and there's more information out there for the latter). Does anyone have any thoughts? Are you aware of ways to accomplish this in Google App Scripts, or do you think my best bet would be to migrate over to another, more widely used (and compatible) platform? I currently use polling to acquire my authenticated athlete's activities, but there's huge limitations to this given the data pulling limitations by Strava's API.   Here are some of the resources I've been looking at: - https://medium.com/@eric.l.m.thomas/setting-up-strava-webhooks-e8b825329

Did the developer think, when they released a feature, which allows to automatically hide the start- and end-point of a ride, that maybe, just MAYBE, that should NOT be applied to VIRTUAL rides?I can imagine, that someone does not want to bother setting up geo-zones of privacy, and they want to use the new feature (that is automatically enabled btw) for their IRL rides, that they do not want to have to edit each VIRTUAL ride? (especially in a clumsy way, where the start- and end-point have to be edited via separate sliders, instead of the UI providing a simple button, which disables hiding of anything, if people do not want to use the feature on that ride .. if it really "has to" be done manually for every VIRTUAL ride)Let's be honest - I do not care the slightest, if everyone knows, that I did a VIRTUAL ride in Spain, Chile, or Australia .. and I strongly doubt, that ANYONE does.

A recent change to user profile of the web version presents a column heading indicating "Total efforts", but the data being shown is the number of members who have traversed the segment.  As a member may cross the segment numerous times, these are two different values... number of people and number of attempts.  Can this be corrected?   Either the heading or the data in the field. Thanks...   

Hi. I would like to keep the analysis (altitude, speed, cadence, power and power fields) visible for an upcoming cycling activity and only turn the map (i.e. the location of the activity) invisible. Is this possible? I tried this on a test basis with a friend. After he turned off the full map on map visibility, the "show analysis" function was also gone.It would be great if there was a solution for this. Thanks!

Currently the create event webhook contains a field event_time. Adding another field with the start time of the workout would make it possible to check whether the application has received the workout from another source (e. g. garmin) already. That would allow developers to further save api calls to get the activity.

The price increase in google play cannot be confirmed. As soon as the pop-up dialog "confirm identity" appears, nothing else happens. Tried with multiple browsers (chrome, firefox, edge, opera) and devices (Windows PC and Android).

I’m using the Strava api’s and having the free subscription, I need to calculate the burned calories of the activity/sport I’m doing,But I didn’t find any api to fetch all the sports/activities, do anyone suggest any api where I can give the activity name/ sport name like running, swimming, HIIT etc with the time duration and in response it can provide the burned calories in the time period.

why aren't the segments of MTB and eMTB not the same? it's easy, just create 2 different rankings for each segment, one for MTB and one for eMTB. me and my friends who switched to eMTB, we realized that there are very few segments marked for eMTB, less than 10% compared to those for MTB.

Does anyone know how to access photos during route creation? For example I am working on a new trail run route and I can see photo icons on the map. But there doesn't seem to be a way to click the photo to see it. If I click (or cmd click or ctrl click) it adds the photo location to my route.Seems like I am missing something simple - these photos would help me with navigating the planned route.

Hi those interested and knowing.I've only recently realised that "auto excluded efforts" is a thing since around March 2022. I thought it was bad gps data when some of my efforts went missing but retrospectively many were auto axed.Today I did a really hard effort following another bro going downhill and almost broke my PR for a short downhill segment, also a record I've been trying to beat every chance i get and consistently hitting the same times.There are others who went the same speed on the day but as far as i can see they don't have estimated watts whereas mine is estimated at 1200W max, i don't have a powermeter and obviously sitting behind a rider makes going faster easier so i question this metric and how strava calculations got there. I use a Garmin products, Edge 130, cadence and wheelspeed sensors.I'd like to know on what basis and which rules these excluded efforts are calculated?!The segment has an obviously broken first place and the next 5 spots are all 90km at 30s, so

This is a privacy concern (hence Apple prompts to allow / disallow access). But why is Strava trying to access my local network at all? There's no reason for it to be rooting around my WiFi.  Have Strava maybe accidentally used third party code which is maybe a bit malicious? 

If I want to record an cycling activity on my iPhone I tap on the 'record' symbol. Since the last update the default activity is set to 'running'. Then I have to manually change it to 'cycling'. This is irritating me and I wonder if there is a setting where I can change the default to 'cycling'?Thanks!

Dear Moderators and Forum Readers, We are using the Strava API since years in our product. We are utilizing the detailed activity streams as well. In the API reference the structure of the response of activity streams are described in good detail, however there is nothing said on how the data shall be interpreted (e.g. an entry in the ,,velocity_smooth'' is 1.0m/s what does it mean, is it the actual speed on a given time or an average of a longer time period?...). We see a lot of various ,,formats'' for these streams: for some users and activities, there is a data record for each second, in some cases, we have records for every few seconds. We can see also sparse formats, with only a few record for the entire activity, or even having data records for every second, except a few, large periods without any data record. This makes implementing a general solution for interpreting the data really hard. My question is, that is there any good and detailed description about how to interpret the

I've been running into this very problem and now have 22 unsynced activities that never seem to sync. I tried clicking on the unsynced activities banner to open that export page pictured above, but it just flashes like it's trying to open a menu and then closes it directly again; so I can't get to the export. I've tried restarting my phone, but that didn't change anything. Interestingly it seems to sync "runs" just fine, but "rides" on the bicycle appear to be the ones that it won't sync. I'm on version 297.8 (1229074) which appears to be the latest version and I'm on Android 11 on Pixel 2. Is there a fix in the works for this? I'm not sure if I should cut my losses and try reinstalling the Strava app (losing those 22 activities) or if there's any hope this will be resolved at some point so they can sync? Is there anything else to try? Thanks for the help!

I recently purchased an Apple Watch (yay for me). Unfortunately, it seems to have “broken” things.  Prior to the Watch, all workouts recorded in Strava, be they native Strava recordings of runs, or cycling workouts (indoor and outdoor) reported from TrainerRoad or Wahoo were all synched back to the Health app in Apple.  Since I purchased and set up the Apple Watch, the Apple Health app is not receiving ANY workouts from Strava, even those recorded in the Strava App for the Watch. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling Strava on the phone, rebooting, and all of the steps here (https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917527-Health-App-and-Strava).  I’ve a ticket open with the help desk, but have not heard back yet. Closely related, would love the Action Button on my Ultra to be able to launch Strava.

On my Garmin Forerunner 255 I have renamed my HIIT activities as CrossFit but when automatically imported into Strava they are listed incorrectly as a Workout rather than CrossFit.  I would like a feature to be able to say I wish these imported correctly to Strava as type CrossFit rather than workout.

Hello, we are developing a Digital Social Platform dedicated to Sports Events. We would like that our users could import their Strava friends, just like Strava does with Facebook. However, it seems that Strava API doesn't support this feature. Is that true? Thanks in advance

Hi,I'm looking to use the Strava API to collect a large dataset on individuals who run. Is there a way I can list (or is there some public database) of athletes whose profiles are set to public? I'd then simply call "get athlete stats". I'd like to query through this list of individuals to create a dataset.

Hello everyone My name is Ionut, I'm a Qlik Developer, and I want to create an app with my data in this reporting tool. I created my connection, because I have a dedicate connector.  I can see one table with my data like this  But when I will try to access another table, I can't, and I need my gear ID, or club ID, or Segment ID etc, to access other tables   and so on Can you help me to access my data with this connector, I really want to create an interactive app with my activity, I'm waiting your response Thank you 😊
