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.

API request is not pulling ride description data from field

Hey All, I’ve created a custom GPT that interrogates my Strava profile so I can ask lots of things. It’s working well but it does not pull info from the Description field in the Json string. Any ideas why not? "description": "Comprehensive ride description after recent update.",   This just seems to contain placeholder text despite there being a comprehensive write up. Cheers Matt

Single waypoints

Strava indicated that when they were taking over the Fatmap platform that all features of Fatmap would be available on Strava.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to mark a single waypoint as I could in Fatmaps.  I have to create a route in order to create ANY waypoints.  For example I would like to mark a potential trail head.  That is it.  I don't want a route.  I could do that on Fatmap.  I cannot on Strava.  This is a simple function that in my opinion would make Strava much more appealing and user friendly.  Is there a way to do this or is this something being incorporated in the near future>

Strava ticket #3054295 Pb de Publication Page de Club

Get Advanced Metrcis via API

Hi,I would like to integrate and display advanced metrics for Subscription users in our application, such as Fitness Score, Relative Effort, Training Log, etc., to provide a fitness summary, send notifications, predictions, and more.However, I couldn’t find a clear endpoint for this in the documentation. It seems like I might need to retrieve all activities, count their relative effort (which appears to be tied to the `suffer_score`), and then manually calculate the values. But I would expect there to be an easier method.Could you please clarify if there is a more straightforward way to achieve this?Thanks for your help.

Filter club activities by date

Hello, I'm using the getClubActivities endpoint to keep a tally of individual rides in my club. I would like to limit the response to a certain date, or at least to a certain week (i.e. this week). Is there a way to do this? Getting the date of the activity in the API Response would be enough.  Lastly, I couldn't find info on the units for the time and distance that is returned by the endpoint. I assume it's seconds for time, but not sure for distance.  Any help is appreciated.

Detect if user uploaded activity manually

Hiya,Im building a rewards app on top of Strava, whereby if people complete exercises and commutes they will earn real rewards. However the upload manually feature means people can cheat and earn rewards by scripting creation of a GPX file say.At the moment i think the way to detect this is through the device_name field in the DetailedActivity. However that field is just a String rather than an Enum. Is it possible to know what values it might take? Is that the only way to know that the user uploaded a GPX file themselves? as its not 100% protection imho.many thanks

Discord bot using Strava API

I created a Discord bot using the Strava API. Our club has around 600 members, and we plan to organize team competitions on our Discord server. However, the "Number of athletes allowed to connect" is limited to 1, so I'm unable to fully utilize the API. I have filled out the form and submitted it. How long does it take for approval?

strava bulk data activity file IDs don't match the activities.csv Activity ID

i'm trying to do some analysis, and i'm working with the raw activities.csv, but the field "Activity ID" do not match any of the raw activity files that come with the bulk download (e.g. 3517781504.fit.gz, this number 3517781504 doesn't match any id in the .csv) . this make matching impossible.  how do you match raw .fit files to the activity ids??

Activity power distribution_buckets don't match athlete's zones

I'm trying to analyse how much time an athlete spends in a specific power zone based on athlete's zone.When pulling an activity with "getZonesByActivityId" the distribution_buckets values do not match the athlete zones, they are just fixed buckets 0-50, 50-100, 100-150, 150-200 ...The zones for heartrate data are correctly matching the athlete's zone but the power data is not.Any idea why this is happening?

Following athletes activities

According to the API docs, an app can only fetch information about the logged in athlete. It'd would be nice if there could be a way of reading the following athletes' activities. The same way, having a proper getClubActivitiesById would be helpful too (right now this method returns incomplete information, which can't be used to identify neither athletes or single activities, as there are no identifiers).Right now, one can get this information both through Strava's mobile app, and web app, either through the user feed, or just going to the followed athletes one by one and looking at their latest activities. It would be nice if this could be replicated through the API (something like getAthleteActivitiesById, or returning SummaryActivity through getClubActivitiesById, instead of ClubActivity).These features would be really helpful for apps that aren't athlete-focused, but club-focused. For example, given an app for clubs, which is built on top of Strava and managed by a club m
