I have an app that is fairly integrated with Strava. I'd love to be able to have users create accounts via Strava directly, but it seems like the API doesn't expose email at all. This makes sense from a security standpoint, but it also makes the auth flow a lot more frictiony.

What's the best user experience you've seen on this front?

Hey my,

Users can't create user accounts via the API -- You should have users create accounts on your site and then integrate their strava account. If they don't have a strava account they should create one. If you don't currently make use of mobile oauth, then you should implement that in order to reduce friction. Take a look here.
