Hey guys. Is there any way to get active calories using Strava API (or even as regualr user in strava app)? Like they have it in Garmin. Looks like Strava doesn't do that

If not, is it proper way just to do something like 0.9 * calories? But this way will not work if the activity wasn't "active" enough. If I'm sitting at the table i think strava will give me some "calories" value - and all of them won't be active, so I can't just multiply by 0.9

Strava is based on activities therefore all calories all active ones by default. Sitting at a table is something a watch records outside of activities and won't appear in Strava.
