Updated on Nov. 20 We wanted to provide some additional context around the changes to our API Agreement and the impact for our users and developers. We currently anticipate these changes will impact less than .1% of applications and proactively notified the majority of those affected last week. Enhanced Privacy and User ControlPrivacy and user control are at the forefront of our platform. As a result, we are committed to evolving our API practices as regulatory requirements and user expectations shift. This includes the decision to limit the ability of a user’s data to be displayed by third-party apps in ways the user may not expect. Specifically, we want to thoughtfully address situations where users connect to a third-party app and are unaware that their data is being surfaced not just for their own use and visibility, but also to other users (for example, in a public feed or heatmap). The latest API changes address this scenario and provide a more consistent framework for Strava us
Hello,Since Sunday, some activities from my app are no longer syncing with Strava. I checked if my token is still active, and I tested it on Postman.I regenerated a new token, but it doesn't work either. I don't understand why it stopped working. Could it have expired, or has the authorization for my app expired? "message": "Authorization Error", "errors": [ { "resource": "Athlete", "field": "access_token", "code": "invalid" } ] Best regards,
Hello, after Samsung firmware update in December 2024, I’m not able to use the button for pause the activity on my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro anymore. Its necessary to click on screen for pause, which is uncomfortable (because of gloves, etc). Do you think, you can reair that?Before the Samsung Galaxy Watch firmware update, it worked properly.
Export: comments.csv missing comment ID and associated activity/post/flag/… IDWhen I export my Strava data, one of the files is `comments.csv`. However, there are only two columns in that CSV: `Comment Date` and `Comment`. No `Comment ID`, `Associated Entity Type` and `Associated Entity ID`. So basically, just a wall of dated text. Almost perfectly useless.How can I get the comments in their original context?
The Strava app on Google Watch 3 isn't very good – I can't set my favourite activity, Mountain Biking, so I have to scroll past about 30 activities to find it each time.Instead, I've used the default Fitbit app (which does add Mountain Biking as a quick select favourite). However, I can't get it to sync with Strava. I've read forums, reinstalled both apps, checked permissions on both apps multiple times etc. Has anyone else had this issue?
I am building a personal project to consolidate all my location data, and so am building an API consumer to fetch all my activities and their time/latlng streams. I am over-engineering in case friends want to use it (and because it’s fun).It seems I could paginate explicitly with page or date-based with before. I see in the forum history, here, that there was a period when page didn’t work, but that it’s now reliable. Aesthetically, I prefer the date-based “cursor” approach.Is there any guidance on which is preferred and/or future-proof?
I noticed when an image is uploaded to an activity via the Edit Activity, that it doesn’t trigger an Update webhook event - is this behaviour expected? Could it be enhanced to include it?
Hi,We asked for athlete count increase around 4 weeks back, but haven’t heard back.The ask was to increase the limit to 10K.Did we ask for a too big limit to start? as I see most people here get 999 limit.Can someone help us in expedite this, as this is blocking out our feature release which we have committed based on the timeline (7-10 days) which was shared with us. We are fine by 999 limit as well to get started.
Hello Community, I have been trying to get Strava to respond to athlete limit increases since October, submitted the form multiple times and have never got a response. Is Strava going under? Should we be selling our stock? What is going on, it seems like no one is working there? Has anyone had any luck getting past the 1 athlete limit for new apps in the past 6 months?Thanks!
Dear Strava,I'm looking to develop an application that takes advantage of strava's API. But when I use the API to log in with a second account, the following error appears: 1. Issue 1Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded.This app has exceeded the limit of connected athletes. If you are a developer of this application, please contact Strava developer support for how to request a quota increase.2. Issue 2After the an user login successfully, I use the api "/api/activities". I only get 3 activities, while the user has 4 activities.Please prepare a sandbox environment for me so I can integrate the API. If everything works perfectly, we will consider using the API for production. We will then continue to ask you about the API usage quota as a service that you can provide to us on a more permanent basis.Following is my application information:- Client ID: 121112- Overall Rate Limits: 200 requests every 15 minutes, 2,000 daily- Read Rate Limits: 100 requests every 15 minutes, 1
Hi! I am unable to log into my strava account that I have been recently active on. When I had the strava app open, it said the account was linked to an old email address. I logged out of strava and now I am unable to log back in. I’ve since regained access to that old email account so that I could change my strava password but the link is not being sent to the email address to be able to change my password.(Yes,I have checked the spam and trash folders). I have created a new account with my current email address but I would like access to my activities/followers etc.from the act I can't get logged into. I have sent in tickets and have sent emails to strava and have yet to hear back. Can anyone help me with this? I am also paying for the premium strava service on the account I cannot log into.Is there a way someone can help me merge my accounts? Is there a strava support person I can actually talk to? Thanks so much. My first ticket number is #3189261I am unable to find my athlete numb
I would like to retrieve public data from Strava API but I can’t obtain scope : activity:read. Is there any way to proceed ?

Yesterday (14/01/2025), I could make requests to the Strava API without any problems. For example, this endpoint was working perfectly for some tests:“https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/13181274603” But today, despite having a new token that is valid, I am getting the following error:“””Token expired, refreshing...Data successfully inserted.Error making request to https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/13181274603: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/13181274603””” Is anyone else experiencing this?This is a piece of my Python code:“”” def _get_headers(self) -> Dict[str, str]: """Generate headers for requests.""" return { "Authorization": f"Bearer {self.access_token}", "Content-Type": "application/json", } def _get_url(self, endpoint: str) -> str: """Construct full URL for a given endpoint.""" return f"{self.BASE_URL}{endpoint}" def _make_request(self, url: str,
