Hey Strava is you're going restrict 3rd parties from showing my data, then...

Hey Strava! If you're going restrict 3rd parties (using your API) from showing my data, then…..what is the point of having you around. Let me be very specific using an example. I pay a coach to assist me using Training Peaks. That coach is authorised to see my data and provide coaching. So not an unauthorised, but a consented sharing of my data.Let’s not kid each other… you get my data FOR FREE, so I can use you like a “Look at me” FOR FREE. As a training tool, it’s useless. You see yourself as the “leader of the peloton”, but you’ve become the over priced veteran that’s used to be a Grand Tour Winner.Let me be clear, when you’ve exhausted your usefulness or value, it is a good time for us to part ways. No more FREE DATA for the FREE usage of your platform.

Route planning very slow

HelloThere appear to have been some updates to the route planning function with this excellent app. However now it is becoming extremely slow, “updating route” is all I see now, and it is now no longer possible to see my the heatmap with all my activities displayed while route planning. The function is now barely usable it is so slow. Please is there anyway that the route planning can return to how it was a few months ago? I am using Chrome and I have tried the route planning on two separate computers. Best regards Howard

API TOS Changes

Bite me, Strava. And, also, screw your community guidelines. There’s nothing more chickenshit than a company not letting the customers talk about its fucked up decision-making.

Issue with Paging Parameter in Club Activities Endpoint

I’m encountering an issue with the paging parameter at the endpoint for listing club activities.I am currently running a sports challenge that uses Strava clubs to track participants' activities. To limit the activities, I retrieve all activities using the after parameter. Today, I had more than 200 activities. When I requested the activities using the page parameter set to 2, I always received the same result. It doesn’t matter if I send page=2, page=3, or another value—I always get the same data. Why?Thanks!

Manage athlete limits

Hello Strava community!I applied to the Developer Program with my app about more than a month ago. This is actually my second attempt; the first time, they asked me to provide more screenshots of my app. I applied to increase my user limit from 1, because right now no one can use my app except me. After submitting additional screenshots, I received this email in response:'We've received your submission to Strava's Developer Program. It's under review, and there's nothing else you need to do for now. Once your app has been approved, we'll contact you with more information.'Given that I've already gone through one round of feedback and I'm trying to make my app available to more users, how long should I expect to wait for a response regarding this second review?

The weather data doesn't make any sense. This is frustrating. How can I solved it?

For example, in my training today, it says the temperature was 23ºC. This temperature doesn't make any sense! The information should be the average temperature during the activity, or the maximum and minimum. I ran with a final sensation of 29ºC, but Strava says it felt like 23ºC. How can I solved it?

Fetching Activities within Rate Limit

Hello!I'm writing an application that requires storing information about new activities in realtime as they come in from athletes. I have been successful in getting the creation of new activities sent to my server through the web hook. New Activities do not include any metadata about the new activity, so I have to follow up with additional calls to fetch the data.I've explored the following 2 approaches but both have their problems:Fetch By Activity Id: the most straight forward, I could hit `/activities/{{ id }}` for every activity that comes from the web hook. This would be the most expensive against my daily rate limit, though.Fetch By Activity Date Range: in order to avoid hitting rate limits, I could hit `/athlete/activities` and run against a date range to fetch multiple activities at once. This is great cause it allows me to "batch" requests, although the `event_time` that comes back from the web hook does not accurately reflect the activity event time (this is es

Manage athlete limits

Hello Strava Community, My application has reached the 999-athlete connection limit, and I’ve already emailed developers@strava.com to request an increase. However, the limit is causing errors for my users, and it’s taking some time to get a response from Strava support. In the meantime, I’d like to disconnect some inactive athletes to make space for new users. Is there an endpoint or method available to remove specific athletes from the connected list? Thank you for any guidance!

API Agreement Update & How Data Appears on 3rd Party Apps

Updated on Nov. 20 We wanted to provide some additional context around the changes to our API Agreement and the impact for our users and developers. We currently anticipate these changes will impact less than .1% of applications and proactively notified the majority of those affected last week. Enhanced Privacy and User ControlPrivacy and user control are at the forefront of our platform. As a result, we are committed to evolving our API practices as regulatory requirements and user expectations shift. This includes  the decision to limit the ability of a user’s data to be displayed by third-party apps in ways the user may not expect. Specifically, we want to thoughtfully address situations where users connect to a third-party app and are unaware that their data is being surfaced not just for their own use and visibility, but also to other users (for example, in a public feed or heatmap). The latest API changes address this scenario and provide a more consistent framework for Strava us

Can someone please help fix this javascript connection?

I have written a javascript command with the help of Chat GPT3 (I am not a developer) but would love some community assistance here! I'm looking to import activity data from Strava into an Equals spreadsheet.  Can someone help me understand what I need to do to fix this? Any support is very appreciated! Here's what I have:   const equals = require("equals"); const axios = require("axios"); const STRAVA_ACCESS_TOKEN = equals.getSecret("strava_api_key"); const STRAVA_ATHLETE_ID = equals.getSecret("strava_athlete_id"); const TABLE_NAME = "Activities"; const postData = async () => { const resp = await axios({ method: "post", url: `https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athletes/${STRAVA_ATHLETE_ID}/activities`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${STRAVA_ACCESS_TOKEN}` } }); return resp.data; }; const data = await postData(); equals.addHeaders(["Name", "Sport Type", "Elapsed Time", "Description", "Distance"]); for(const record of data) { equals.addRow(

How can a section of Strava's topo map show up as hilly but be recorded as completely flat?

There is a ~quarter mile long cul-de-sac in my neighborhood that descends just under 100’. It registers on Garmin. It shows up on Strava’s topo map. It shows up on the uphill section in a Strava segment. However in the activity is recorded as completely flat. Just that one section.

Strava API - Get Activity output format

Hi,The JSON format I get out of the API when I extract multiple Activities is not following JSON standards as it seems. I am not an expert not a dev. But if I pretty print it and save the output, and load it for further analysis, it says the file format is not valid.I've tried to debut it and indeed I get “multiple JSON root elements”.Any idea? :)Thx for your help!

I see on strava status there are problems.  We are facing problems submitting activities via API.  Normally this is very stable for years for us so we are pretty sure strava API has errors.  Anyone else seeing this?

Cannot use API anymore. Remote IP looks blocked (CloudFront)

Hello,My App seems to be blocked since a few days. I always get a 403 error by CloudFront when trying to reach http://www.strava.com from my web host. I absolutely do not abuse daily requests limits. But I’m hosted on a shared hosting (OVH.com), that’s probably the reason the IP address was blocked. Is it possible to do something ? Thanksclient_id: 31111remote IP: 213.186.33.2

FIT file is never processed

As of about a week ago any workout I have tried to upload to Strava through the API is never being processed. I checked my console log when uploading and I get a response message with a successful response code. The status field states - “Your activity is still being processed.” Here is an example of the response:success({ "activity_id" = "<null>"; error = "<null>"; "external_id" = "jtw_673D5484-C0C2-40E0-B726-B6E04C98BE86.fit"; id = 13724712499; "id_str" = 13724712499; status = "Your activity is still being processed.";})When I try to manually upload the same FIT file through my profile it begins “analyzing” the file, but never completes. Also never met with any kind of error code. I have not made any changes to how I am creating these FIT files and they have been processed successfully for over a year up until this point. Has Strava possibly changed/added a required field that I am unaware of?
