Developers & API

Hi all, i try to get the annual kilometers of a club via API. In the dashboard i only see some weekly kilometers. is there any chance to get annual kilometers? thanks for helping

I ran with a friend this morning, for some reason my garmin deleted my run. I asked her to share her run with me. She did, i accepted the link, but it does not want to process the share. How can I fix this?

Is there anyway we can get workout the strong app to sync with strava?

I really wanted to create a little app that would update all of my commute activities to be private via the API. I keep getting successful call backs and it looks like I can modify activities in other ways, but can’t seem to change the visibility of an activity no matter how hard I try… Of course I can do it manually in the app, but I want this little application to work. Any thoughts?

I can see the activity description, small map and any media media uploaded on everyone’s activity on my feed screen. But when I press the map to get to the map screen I cannot see the map. All I see is the line of the route with no underlying map. There’s just a blank white screen under the route. And don't have duckduckgo or similar because most topics said it was that.

Hi Strava Team, Our application encodes .FIT files from pool swim activities and sends them to Strava via the API We recently found some swims that have an incorrect Pace and Moving Time, after some investigation I noticed that in the ‘Laps’ list for the Strava activity it only lists 36 out of 63 Laps defined in the .FIT file, the ‘moving time’ is calculated from these Lap messages so its short. There are no other errors shown on import I have spent a lot of time looking at the FIT fields and they look correct, please could someone take a look at the attached .FIT file to see why Strava only seems to read the first 36 Lap messages when there are 63 in total? When I import the same .FIT into TrainingPeaks it reads the whole file and gives the correct swim pace TIA

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 Exchange Strava 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 application must now call the POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/token with its client ID and client secret to exchange the authorization code for a refresh token and short-lived access token. The state parameter will be always included in the response if it was initially provided by the application. Request Parameters client_id required integer, in query The application’s ID, obtained during registration. client_secret required string, in query The application’s secret, obtained during registration. code required string, in query The code parameter obtained in the redirect. grant_type required string, in query The grant type for the request. For initial authentication, must always be "authorization_code". Example cURL Request curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/token \ -d client_id=ReplaceWithClientID \ -d client_secret=ReplaceWithClientSecret \ -d code=ReplaceWithCode \ -d grant_type=authorization_code

How do I get active calories from Garmin Connect when syncing rides to Strava? I’m getting total calories from GC which is active plus basal calories. Other apps report/use active calories, not total. I did some searching having found this being resolved. Has it been?

Hello, I'm having an issue with the Strava API that I hope someone can help me resolve. I'm able to successfully make API requests through Postman, but when I implement the same code on my server, I get a 403 error. What works (in Postman): I'm trying to access activity data with this endpoint: GET www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/[activity_id] With the authorization header: Authorization: Bearer [my_token] The error I'm getting on my server: I'm using PHP with cURL for my implementation. Here's the error I receive: 403 ERROR The request could not be satisfied. Request blocked. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Generated by cloudfront (CloudFront This implementation has been working perfectly for months, but suddenly stopped working this weekend. Nothing changed on my end.

I’ve noticed that my application will sometimes stop receiving webhook events from some athletes. These athletes have not deauthorized my application, so I should still be receiving events for them. I have checked with these athletes and they have confirmed that my application is still authorized. I’m wondering, does Strava stop sending webhooks events for an athlete if the athlete’s access token needs to be refreshed? Currently, if I get a notification from an athlete that has an expired access token, this triggers a refresh call. But do I need to be actively refreshing tokens right as they expire to make sure that I don’t miss webhook events? This is not mentioned in the documentation afaik.

Are the team at Strava aware? I can’t find a way to report this but an error message is currently plaguing the route planner “sorry, we couldn’t complete that action”. Upon refreshing all my routes disappeared at one point too. Server issue?

I’m the developer/webmaster for my local cycling club’s website. We have Strava widgets embedded, which display correctly, but they’re throwing the following console error: Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined You can see the error (in the browser console) on our homepage: https://sdbc.org The issue seems to be with the Activity and Summary iFrame widgets - the Route widget (which uses a JavaScript include) doesn’t throw any errors. Is there a solution for this? Or any plans to replace the iFrame widgets with JavaScript includes?

Hello, I ran a marathon yesterday and I accidentally set the activity on my watch to "treadmill running" instead of "running". Now I don’t have the right activity on my Strava and I’d like to know if it is possible if I can import activity manually if I have the GPX of the course and also I know my splits and total time. Can I edit the current activity or I delete this one and add new?

Hello, I’m making a website for my local community to share all the routes in my area in one place. For doing that, I use the route integration with the <HTML> code. I was just wondering if there is a limit of routes that can be integrated from an account? I would not like my accound to be suspended for that :) Thank you,

Hey! i built another map generating website, which integrates the strava api. My question is, how i get it promoted like others here: https://www.strava.com/apps/visualizer Website is: https://mapprints.de You can easily build custom maps there and plot activities onto it. It differs to others, because its truely customizable. To use it, you need to register (eg via google). Its required to keep bots away, generating load on the backend. Thanks!

I use an R script to retrieve my personal activity data from Strava using the API. I use the following code, that, in the past, always gave me data on average and max heart rates, but now these have disappeared for some reason: while (TRUE) { req <- httr::GET( url = "https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities", config = token, query = list(per_page = 200, page = page) ) # Convert JSON to dataframe activity_data <- fromJSON(content(req, as = "text"), flatten = TRUE) # Stop if no data found if (length(activity_data) == 0) {break} # Append data to dataframe if (nrow(df) == 0) {df <- activity_data} else { common_cols <- intersect(names(df), names(activity_data)) df <- rbind(df[, common_cols, drop = FALSE], activity_data[, common_cols, drop = FALSE])} # Turn to next page page <- page + 1} Anyone has an idea why the heart rate data is missing?

This model won't include any athlete identifier, which makes the information a bit useless in the end. Since APIs are made for machines, and machines identify entities differences between IDs, not having them on the returned models make them invaluable. It would be nice if ClubAthlete had the athlete ID included within its definition. This way, apps for clubs, built on top of the Strava API, can easily map and identify the athletes. Otherwise this is impossible, as there's no other way of identifying athletes related somehow to another one who granted access to the app.

Hello, Recently, I built an app using the Strava API to automatically retrieve my activity data and store them in a database. I noticed that, using the “https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities” API endpoint retrieves the calories as kilojoules, for example “"kilojoules": 637.0”. The calories shown in my Strava account are shown in calories units. Based on the same activity of the above example, I see in my account the value of 427 Cal. However, 637.0 kilojoules are 152.2 calories - that is, a very different number from 427 Cal shown in my account. I wanted to ask if I am missing any other conversion steps or how exactly are Calories calculated in the application but are different from the API? How can I transform the 637 kilojoules to the number that I am seeing in my account? Thank you very much for your help in advance. Best, Panos

It looks like that there is no such option. But I think it may be a great addition for any club to have an option to least events on their website/app and even have a button for people to join their events. Could propel event usage a lot and improve quite a few metrics. Totally separate thing but another missing feature from user's perspective is to join Repeated events. With two options: Join this event and all following events, join only this this event. The same for leaving the events. Both these features will increase Event-related metrics drastically

Hi, I'm running the command: swagger-codegen generate -i https://developers.strava.com/swagger/swagger.json -l swift5 The DetailedActivity does not contain any of the SummaryActivity as described by the allOf section in https://developers.strava.com/swagger/activity.json#/DetailedActivity. I've tried using version 3.0.41 and 2.4.30 A quick search indicated that it is a swagger bug? Am I missing something here? Thanks Antz

https://developers.strava.com/docs/ specifies how to generate client code.I got the model generated java -jar C:\swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate --lang java --output C:\SwaggerCodeGen\strava-models --input-spec https://developers.strava.com/swagger/swagger.json --config C:\config.json This is 1 of the config settings I used { "groupId": "com.vschouppe.strava", "artifactId": "strava-api-client", "apiPackage": "com.vschouppe.strava.api", "modelPackage": "com.vschouppe.strava.model", "invokerPackage": "com.vschouppe.strava.invoker", "generateApis": true, "generateModels": true, "library": "resttemplate", "dateLibrary": "java8", "serializationLibrary": "jackson", "hideGenerationTimestamp": true} Why are my clients and api’s not generated?i.e. https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/ import com.strava.api.v3.auth.*; import com.strava.api.v3.model.*; import com.strava.api.v3.api.ActivitiesApi; ApiClient client = new ApiClient(...); ActivitiesApi api = client.createService(ActivitiesApi.class);

Anyone know if it’s possible to directly add an image from the edit activity API?

Hallo, leider wird bei den Aktivitäten die Karte nicht mehr richtig angezeigt, man sieht nur die Tour mit blauem Hintergrund. Aber kein Satellitenbild mehr. Was kann man hier machen?

Hello! I am looking for a way to retrieve TCX file of activities with the API. I can get TCX for routes but can’t find a way to get the file for activities. I can get it easily using this way : https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918437-Exporting-your-Data-and-Bulk-Export#h_01GDP2C5E3278KM8MPK5X49ED3 “This is a little-known trick, however, it's simple to use. Simply add "/export_tcx" - without quotes - to the end of your activity page URL. For example, if your activity page is www.strava.com/activities/2865391236 - just add the text to give you www.strava.com/activities/2865391236/export_tcx and hit enter. This will download a TCX version of your file to the location specified by your browser's preferences” But no luck with API. Can anyone help? Thanks!
