Since 1st of July you need a regular Strava subscription to access the API. After you obtain one you can reactivate your API access in the API dashboard.

Also, I think the access token should be given in the Authentication header, not the uri. I seem to remember this note in API changes manifest. If I am wrong, sorry.
