Hi,

I'm currently building an MVP and have a few questions before I continue.

Right now, my app can only pull my own Strava data. My goal is to let thousands of users connect their own Strava accounts so the app can read each person's activity after they sign in and give consent through OAuth. Is this supported?

If it is, could someone briefly explain how the upgrade process works from the Standard Tier to support more users? What does the review process look like?

Also, what API limitations and pricing should I be aware of after that?

Thanks!

Please read the Strava API policy on https://www.strava.com/legal/api_policy regarding AI usage (in short, it’s not allowed in any way) and 

 for information about the access tiers, limitations, the review form and the required Strava subscription.

    Thank you,

    Now I can see the tier overviews of the API usage. What is the pricing model works? Per call or a flat subscription within <9999 users Standard tier?

    You need a Strava subscription, otherwise there are no costs.
