I'm currently working with the Strava API and using the GET /athlete endpoint to retrieve authenticated athlete data. However, I noticed that the response does not include the athlete's date of birth, even when requesting all available scopes (such as profile:read_all).

My question is:

  • Is there currently any way to retrieve the athlete's date of birth through the Strava API?

  • If not, are there any known workarounds or plans to include this field in future updates?

This data would be extremely useful for age-based features such as performance grouping, personalized training plans, or leaderboard segmentation.

I've also sent a feature request to the Strava API team, but I wanted to check here in case anyone has encountered and solved this issue, or if there are any unofficial methods or fields I might have missed.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The date of birth is not available in the API. The obvious way to retrive it would be asking your users.
