Developers & API

I subscribe to Strava primarily because I enjoy the route builder. That alone makes it worth the monthly cost. But I have to say, I HATE the little picture bubbles all over the map. When im creating a route, I want to see the roads only. Every little intersection that im interested in has someone else picture blocking the view. This is enough of an annoyance that I am considering cancelling the subscription and just moving over to RGPS. Could you please just make some kind of toggle or something so we can close those pictures? What even is the point??Also…. I must add, your customer support, for subscribers, is atrocious. Seriously….

Hi there!Is there a way to access who I ran with in the API? I went on a run and the official Strava app nicely shows that I did run with my friend indeed, but I can’t seem to find this data anywhere on the API unfortunately.I’m working on a little app that just creates fun visualisation for the runs based on the details. And I thought it would be much more fun and social if I could include my friends into the visualisation when I run with them. Thanks,Dani

My Strava activity has not uploaded to the app from garmin, its on the website but not listed in the activity section but when I try and upload a file it’ll say it’s a duplicate and I can source it from there.also it is saying that my elapsed time is 196 hours which is obviously wrong I want the stats in my Strava app pls help

Hey I love strava and I use it to track all my runs, it’s so accurate and it’s great. As someone who does showjumping professionally and rides out horses on gallops I think it would be amazing if they added an option to track my rides. I understand if it would be too hard to do because its a very specific movement, but just tracking the speeds and location would be super. 

Client ID: 211131 Hello,On the API I developed for our rowing sports club, only one athlete can be added. To track the children’s GPS performance, we need a user limit of around 15–20 people. I’d appreciate your help, because I can’t connect any other athletes for this reason.

Please, We need to Indoor (pool) swim workout for Wear OS app 

Is the Wear OS Strava tile customizable? I think not for now. However, customizability would make our lives easier. We really want to see this improved.

Hello, I would like to propose a suggestion to add as a sport: horseback riding. This will avoid having to select a sport that has nothing to do with it, and will allow us to have GPS/duration tracking, and to plan our activities. It would be practical and therefore will favor to take the plane because all sports will be grouped (so those already present on STRAVA, plus riding), and will avoid paying a subscription to another app for the monitoring of our horseback activities Thank you 🤞🤞

Yth. Tim Dukungan Strava, Saya menghubungi Anda  meminta untuk pembatalan langganan Strava yang terlanjur aktif di akun saya.

Hi. Since Instant Workouts was launched, I’ve had the notification for them on my profile landing page. Frankly it’s annoying as I have a coach and amnot interested in this. The notification wastes “real estate” on the profile page so can you please have a toggle on or off button for it or a way for it to move off the profile banner once you’ve read it?! 

half the time when i try to resume a workout if im doing intervals i accidentally tap the finish button instead of resume because it takes up most of the screen

Hi,(Not sure this is the right space for suggestions/requests, but here goes).It would be nice if I could have Birding as an activity instead of grouping it under ‘Walking’, There are a lot of us birders out there, and you could have some pretty cool challenges too. As an aside, it would create interesting splits between elapsed and moving times. I found out today that about 1/3 of my birding time is standing around! Not sure if you partner or collab, but the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Audubon Society and any number of global/national/regional birding organizations/groups might be interested. Personally, I’d like to have it a separate ‘sport’ so that it doesn’t mix up my walking stats. Although on that note ‘Dog Walking’ would be nice too - my old doggo is only a little faster than my birding! Thanks,Alison W. 

Hello,I recently received an email confirming that my application was approved for the Strava Developer Program with the following limits: Overall Rate Limit: 600 requests every 15 minutes (6,000 per day) Read Rate Limit: 300 requests every 15 minutes (3,000 per day) Athlete Capacity: 999 However, in my API settings dashboard, my application still appears to be limited to only 1 authorized athlete, and a second Strava account cannot authorize the app through OAuth.It seems like the application might still be in Single Player Mode despite the approval email.What can i do so ?Kr Thomas

Alpine ski being included in both yearly elevation goals without the option of being able to click more than one sport at once, with the exception of off-road sports, all ride, all run, is pretty frustrating. It feels like a different track because it’s not human powered. Is there a fix for this besides just stopping recording alpine skiing and deleting the old ones?  thank you!! 

Hello,I have a question regarding the display of multisport activities on Strava. Currently, when I complete a triathlon or a duathlon, the activities appear individually in my feed.I would like to point out that Garmin Connect already offers a unified view for these events, showing the entire course and global stats in one place.Is there a way to have a similar display on Strava? If not, are there plans to allow a unified map and summary for multisport events in the future? It would be much more convenient to see the global performance in one window, just like on Garmin.Thank you for your help

Can anyone help, I did a 5km run on the treadmill and it has recorded the correct distance but has only given me 3.7km splits. I’ve attached photos of my Strava screen, and of my watch. It has imported from my watch which has the correct number of splits.  

Hi, strava team! I'm working on an interesting data-sharing app: RUN RECEIPT. I submitted my application several days ago but haven't received a reply yet. I'm Posting here hoping that you can see it! more via:https://receipt.atomicos.run/

I have a website where I am embedding Strava segments (not routes) at the bottom. However, when I view it on the webpage, the Global settings show KMs. If you export a route, you have the choice to choose the type of units. Can you do this for segments as well? https://mkeride.com/centennial-park-tuesday

Hello community,I’m developing RunningCup, a mobile app for tracking running activities and challenges, where users can optionally import their own activities from Strava.Recently, Strava rejected our API access request, citing privacy concerns:“You must always respect Strava users and their privacy choices. This includes not sharing a Strava user’s data with other users or third parties. Strava Data related to other users, even if such data is publicly viewable on the Strava Platform, may not be displayed or disclosed.”In RunningCup: Users can only import their own activities from Strava. Global leagues and rankings in the app are based on activities from all RunningCup users, including those imported from Strava. We do not display data from other Strava users, and Strava data is not shared with third parties.

Please add elapsed (total) time to the cycling activity summary in the feed, e.g.:distance · time · elevation gainThis would let users understand their and others’ rides without opening every single activityThe feed stats currently only shows distance and elevation gain. There’s clearly space for it, other activities get three stats. Without time there’s hardly any context for a ride, two 20km rides can be totally different. It’s so hard to get to too, you have to open the activitiy, then scroll several screens down, it is absolutely painful.

to the developers of Strava: I have been using strava daily for 7 years. I have never been inspired to complain, but after the change to display heart rate data as a bar chart as “percentage time in zone” rather than a pie chart with actual time spent in zone, I need to speak up. It is not helpful to know I spent “20% of a given ride at Z2” --what would be helpful is the TIME spent in Zone 2. I often do work outs of different lengths, and for example, “10 minutes” is a lot easier to think about than “20%”.  Bar charts are not an intuitive way of summarizing data that relate to a “whole”, aka like a pie chart is. PLEASE PLEASE go back to displaying heart rate data as a pie chart with actual time spent in zone. I don’t use any other workout soft ware (not training peaks, etc) and I don’t want to have to start now. 

Group stats is great and I love the leaderboard by this week and last week. Would it be possible to show previous weeks and also by month and year?

I’d love the option to add music to my Strava post/activity! It’d be cool if Strava could connect with Spotify/Apple Music and you could select a song to your post similar to Instagram stories. Would definitely be a fun option!

There are new activities in strava, some of them not so familiar, but one of the sports more popular is not in strava... Judo, karate jiujitsu, and so on... Could be added as martial arts.
