Developers & API

for about 12 months I continue to be frustrated with HUAWEI ultimate data updates to Strava. Initislky there was an error factor of about 1% which I can forgive and add 1% to my runs but it has become very unpredictableThere also appears to be growing discontent and criticism of HUAWEI. For examples... I have today completed a 5k park run my wife garmin recorded 5.05, her Strava 5.04. On the same run, My HUAWEI intimate 5.14km uploaded to Strava 4.93. And last week I did a did a half marathon and additional 300m to make sure I recorded a half marathon (HUAWEI 21.4km) but upload to Strava was only 20.56km... you can imagine I'm not happy… loosing out on recording a 5k and a half marathon. You are right, I’m not happy… I love the HUAWEI ultimate but I'm not going to continue with the distance and pace uncertainty when I run. And unless there is a conscious effort to fix this  software integration issue, I'm going to get a Garmin Fenix. 

This is not a new topic. I have found exactly the same requests/questions from at least 2 years ago. All the ideas meant to be collected somewhere in Ideas Board, but I couldn't find it. And no changes have been made.So I will try to sum my issues with the current Strava watch face on my Watch6 during running. The activities list - please make it customizable. I only need Run and Walk so not a big issue for me, but I’ve seen it requested by others The activity screen - it shows large time in white, small pace in orange - hard to see on black background, and small white distance. It's the orange pace that bothers me as it is hard to read, especially when wearing sunglasses.  The big Finish button and small Resume button. More than once I accidentally pushed the Finish instead of Resume. Please swap those around or make them the same, but this layout hardly makes sense.I've been using this watch while.running for over a year and I have

Hi Strava Team!I’m a huge fan of competing on segment leaderboards—it’s one of the best motivators in the app. However, in many popular areas, the All-Time CRs (Course Records) are sometimes held by professional athletes or were set years ago under perfect conditions, making them feel impossible to beat.While I love the "This Year" filter, I would love to see a Yearly Archive filter. It would be incredible to see who the "Yearly CR" holder was for 2024 or 2025 specifically.Why this would be awesome: Motivation: It gives us a fresh "title" to chase every year, even if the All-Time record is out of reach. Community: We can see who was the most active/fastest in our local community during specific time frames. Progress: It’s a great way to see how the "top tier" of a segment changes as the years go by. Is there any

Why don’t we have this again?  wouldn't a hiking distance to heartbeat calculation augmented by carry weight be easy to implement ? 

connected Strava to eGym app.. Strava NOT logging any activity logged in eGym though  All setting on eGym done n checked again as per their forum Is there any setting in Strava so that Strava logs the eGym activites??

Dear Strava Team, Please can I request a refund, I signed up when I downloaded the app for a free trail, there was no reminder (as there usually would be) to cancel if I no longer wanted to continue and now a yearly subscription fee has left my account without warning. Please give me a refund for the yearly fee. 

Hello everyone, I’m trying to upload or attach a photo to an activity through my own application — or alternatively link an external image, if Strava supports embedding images from external sources.The goal is to achieve something similar to what Zwift or Rouvy activities display: a main workout image that visually represents the completed session.I’ve checked the public API documentation, but I haven’t found a clear description of how to upload an image directly to an existing activity (not as a user photo and not via the standard /uploads endpoint). Before I continue experimenting, I’d like to know whether Strava currently supports this for third‑party developers, and if so, which endpoint or workflow should be used.Any guidance, examples, or official references would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone experienced submitted the athlete limit increase form and not hearing definite answer about your application? I’ve submitted and followed up by email but haven’t gotten a response. Saw this reply in a different thread, but having followed up by email and not getting a reply I’m stuck on what to do next. Thanks!  

Hi everyone, I have a question: I just created a website and submitted a request to support to increase the user limit for linking accounts with Strava. How long will it take for Strava to respond?

Anyone else noticed that the API’s start_date and start_date_local haven’t adjusted for daylight saving time, so they’re both 1h ahead of actual UTC and local time?

Hi,I'm building an application using the Strava Webhook Events API and I'm running into an environment isolation issue.The problem: Strava only allows one active webhook subscription per Client ID. This makes it impossible to run separate webhook callbacks for different environments (production, staging, development) simultaneously — registering a new subscription either fails with a 409 or overwrites the previous one.Our setup:One Strava API application (single Client ID / Client Secret) Three environments: production, staging, local dev Each environment needs to receive webhook events independentlyWhat we've tried:Using different callback URLs per environment → only one can be active at a time Registering/deleting subscriptions on deploy → creates race conditions and breaks other environmentsWhat we'd like to know:Is there

Our request for API limit increase was rejected, and we’re trying to understand the reason.We are following a controlled approach:Using webhooks as primary source for activity updates Minimal polling (only manual/historical sync) Proper rate limit handling (429, Retry-After, backoff) Token lifecycle management (refresh + deauthorization)Our API usage is limited and not aggressive.I’ve attached a screenshot of our current usage/limits for reference.Client ID: 156908Could you please help us understand what needs to be improved for approval?

Hi, I'm unable to access the 'My API Application' section on my Strava account, and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on. **Issue:**The 'My API Application' entry is completely missing from my account settings menu. When I try to access the URL directly (strava.com/settings/api), I get an error page saying 'An error has occurred' instead of the API application form. **Steps I've already tried:**- Navigating directly to strava.com/settings/api while logged in- Trying on multiple desktop browsers (not mobile)- Testing in private/incognito browsing mode to rule out cache or extension issues- Trying across different browser brands None of these resolved the issue. The error appears consistently regardless of the browser orsession used. Has anyone experienced this or know what might be causing it? Any help would be appreciated.Thank you!

Hello, also encountering the persistent "Something went wrong" error when trying to access the Strava API settings page (https://www.strava.com/settings/api). This seems to be happening to several other users as well. I am unable to create or manage my API application. Thank you.

Hello all,I had working My API Application and used it for integration with google sheets. Today i wanted to change the scope of access using some guidelines and it stopped to work any more. When I go to My API Application it shows “Something went wrong” so I cant edit it or create new. Any help?

I deveoped an app that is using Strava API I wanted to change to domain as it went on production on Vercel but it keeps on dislpaying “unpexpected error, try later” when I click on it to view my app stats and modify the domain. 

Dear community, I am currently trying to make an API Application, but it gives me the “Something went wrong” error. Is this normal? 

Hello Strava Developer Support,Our Strava API application is blocked with:Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded.Client ID: 147184App name: MetabolicSistemWebsite: https://prototipoappcardiometabolica.lovable.appWe are preparing a private beta with the first 100 athletes (and a few coaches). Each athlete authorizes via OAuth and we import their activities for training load analytics. Processing is asynchronous (webhook → job queue → worker) with throttling and backoff to respect Strava rate limits.Request: Please increase the connected athletes quota to at least 200 for this beta (100 users + buffer). If additional information is required (callback domain, privacy policy URL, etc.), please let us know.Thank you.
