Permissions Error - please help!

A little bit of a programming noob here, so forgive my ignorance!I am trying to pull down my strava activities through a get request in python. I have gone ahead and authorized the API etc. with my app. The first time that i set up the authorization, I believe I gave a read only scope (rather than the read_all permissions needed for the type of data that I want). I went ahead re-authorizing, this time careful to include read_all in the URL- but I'm still having issues.  payload = { 'client_id': client_id, 'client_secret': client_secret, 'refresh_token': refresh_token, 'grant_type': "refresh_token", 'f': 'json' } res = requests.post(auth_url, data=payload, verify=False) print("On a run to get the token... ") auth_token_app = res.json()['access_token'] print('Token is:') print(auth_token_app) I'm able to get an access token with the above code, and have tested this out with both the original refresh token I had stored down and the new one, which I

Is it possible to upload media files to activities using their ID?

Hey fellow Strava enthusiasts! I've been an avid user of Strava for quite some time now, and I must say, it's an incredible platform for tracking and sharing my athletic endeavors. Recently, I've been exploring the capabilities of the Strava API and wondering if it's currently possible to upload media files, such as images or videos, to an activity using its ID. I haven't been able to find any specific information or documentation regarding this capability in the Strava API. I was wondering maybe it's possible even if it's not documented as its the case for getting pictures of an activity [https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/{id}/photos?size=X]. That's why I'm turning to the Strava community and API developers for insights. If any of you have experience with the Strava API or know whether it's currently possible to upload media files to activities using their ID (or something else), I would greatly appreciate your input. Additionally, if this functionality doesn't exist yet, I'd l

Moving from polling to webhook

We are planning for the implementation of the web hook subscription.A few questions pop up:1. in the https://www.strava.com/settings/api page: Do we need to change the authorization callback domain?2. Do our users to reconnect our app to Strava?3. Does a manual exsist that guides us from the current way of polling for results to the new webhook system? Our preference is that the users will not experience any negative issues only positive such as a quicker response after a training session. Any help is welcome.

Webhook subscription not receiving update event after cropping activity

The "Crop" utility for trimming activities with GPS data is really nice, but sadly there is no update event emitted to subscribers, so 3rd party apps are not aware of the update and thus become out of sync on the activity details.This is more of a question to the Strava developers; would you consider adding such an update event to the otherwise great cropping tool?Tagging @Elliott11 hoping he might be willing to pass this on to the appropriate recipient 🙂

trouble creating webhook subscription

I had a webhook that was working for a few years and stopped working on April 12. I thought perhaps deleting and resubscribing might do something. I was able to delete the old subscription. If I try to subscribe using the same process that has worked in the past, I get a "not verifiable" response back. The strange thing is that my server logs don't show any traffic from the Strava server, so it seems like Strava can't contact my server.Anyone have any ideas?

Can a Bearer Token be used to pull my own data

I have spent way too many hours trying to determine if I can use a Bearer Token to retrieve my own data.  I'm know that I need to have the activity:read or activity:read_all permission to get that data.  However, I have not found any way either grant that permission to my account.Is my only choice to implement the full Oauth authorization workflow and then keep track of the return tokens?Thanks-marc

Cannot register webhook -- GET to callback URL does not return 200

Hello, I followed the steps given at: https://developers.strava.com/docs/webhookexample/ and https://developers.strava.com/docs/webhookexample/.I implemented the get and post methods to address the verification and calls for the webhooks according to the documentation.However, when I call the following URL, I keep getting the same error:curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/api/v3/push_subscriptions -F client_id=MASKED -F client_secret=MASKED -F callback_url=MASKED -F verify_token=MASKEDI also tried calling the endpoint directly, according to the command below:curl -X GET ‘{your-callback-url}?hub.verify_token=test&hub.challenge=15f7d1a91c1f40f8a748fd134752feb3&hub.mode=subscribe’I'm able to see the challenge in the response.I also enabled logging to the server, and I can't see any calls on behalf of strava when I post to push_subscriptions. I also set the authorization callback URL as the same as the webhook callback.What am I missing?

Strava on iPhone vs. Apple Watch SE - Tracekd running distance differs

Dear community,a few months ago i started with running and am using my iphone (14) with strava app to track my effort.Some trainings, my wife runs directly next to me and she uses her Apple Watch SE to track her data. We are wondering, why the strava app of my iPhone tracks more distance than her Watch.Yesterday i did a training session with 8,45 km distance but her watch tracked just 8,09 km. We started together and were running next to each other all the time. The complete training session was outdoor, with good gps connection.Did anybody else also faces this issue and can help, which device could be correct? 🙂Thanks for your help.

invalid encoding when posting upload

I'm attempting to upload a gpx file to the uploads API, but keep running into errors. I am doing this with javascript/nodejs. Unfortunately due to the deprecation of the request-json library, the strava api npm library has broken, so I'm trying to implement this with node-fetch. The code I'm using is:const content = fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/tmp/route.gpx');  const fileForm = new FormData();  fileForm.append('file', content, {    "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",    "filename": "route.gpx"  });  const postBody = {    file: fileForm,    name: title,    description,    data_Type: "gpx",    sport_type: sportType,    external_id: externalId  };  const postResponse = await fetch('https://www.strava.com/api/v3/uploads', {    method: 'post',    body: postBody,    headers: {      'Content-Type': 'application/json',  &n

Health/ Fitness reading incorrect times

I noticed a 44-minute activity recorded on Strava shows up as a 3-hour activity on my iPhone's fitness app. I suspect it might be due to the Strava API sending out an incorrect "end time." I noticed that the fitness app displays the recording time, both the start and end. It shows the end time of the activity as the time when the activity was "finished" or "saved" on Strava, and not when Strava identifies as the end of the activity, correctly classifying the rest of time as wait or a period of inactivity on the app.It could also be implemented incorrectly on the Fitness team's side, but I thought it would be best to do it here as well.

Best practice for iOS app development

I've had a web based app working reliably against Strava APIs for many years - the app is using the Events API to get notifications about data changes which works really well.I've been considering doing a mobile app version but am interested to know what model people have used. Do you have each instance of the app polling for new data when the user accesses the app? I can imagine hitting rate limits is an issue with a decent number of users.Is it better to have my own hosted web app dealing with the Strava data sync side of things and my mobile app then just queries my own API to get the user's latest data?Is there another model I've not considered?Thanks!

Django + server API app logic with Strava

Hi everyone,I'm a beginner programmer. I am writing my master's thesis on "The motivational impact of the Strava social network on users' sports results."I created an application in Django that processes tokens, gets athletes and the activities (+comments, kudos) of people who decided to take part in the study and saves them in a database (postgresql).I experienced many difficulties when creating this application, first of all... the authorization code thanks to which I obtain access_token and refresh_token has a very short validity(I think it's only a few dozen seconds).Initially, I enrolled people in the database by texting each one individually and exchanging tokens, but after some time I started receiving "Bad Request" errors and I couldn't get their access_tokens, so their activities.For this reason, I decided to deploy this application from the local version to the server - I chose Azure (it's free for students). Deployment caused me a lot of problems and finally, I can't cope wi
