Get data from activity on webhook event

Hi, I'm using webhooks to see when users create new activities. This is to then be able to retrieve each activity's stream in real time.The problem, however, is that if the user is not logged in to my app when I get my webhook, I cannot run the request required to retrieve more information about the user's activity, as I do not save the user's accesToken and refreshToken in my database, unless it is saved via local storage.What I can do is save the id of the activities that have been created sometimes the user has not been active on my app in my mysql database, and then when the user logs in again, I get all the streams then.The problem with that is above all that it won't be realtime. But the other problem is that the rate limits do not allow me to send requests to get these streams from all assets if there are x number.Of course, I can always split it up and wait 15 minutes between each request if I take 10 or 20 at a time, but then it's not certain that the user is still there.

invalid token exchange authorization codes?

So 99% of the time my token exchange process works just fine, but occasionally Strava responds with a "Bad Request" message.I've confirmed that each authorization request is accepted, and I receive a query string formatted as expected, looking like:"code":"012345ab6c7d89e48d7e92a0e381024deb1f0a7b","scope":"activity:read_all,activity:write,profile:read_all,read,read_all"but occasionally the POST call to https://www.strava.com/oauth/token receives this response:{ "message":"Bad Request", "errors": [{ "resource":"AuthorizationCode", "field":"code", "code":"invalid" }]}This issue is so intermittent that I can't reproduce it, but I'm sure I only try to use the short-lived code once...Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Trying to Understand Strava Pace Plotting

Hey there, I've been comparing Strava's analysis of single gpx files to other platforms and something that appears to be quite striking is how the pace plots for an activity differ from those made on the same activity using alternative analysis tools out there. I am trying to understand roughly what might be the largest contributors to this difference...The main two things I would like to clarify for myself:Is the pace plot downsampled from the available gpx data?Does anyone know what smoothing algorithm is being employed?  Thanks in advance! I've attached a screenshot of the UI element I am referencing ( taken from the mobile app)  to hopefully shed some light on which of the many different pace plots I'm referring to here...

One user doesnt get refresh token, others work

I have a webapp, user authorize and the webapp fetch segment efforts. But one of the user can authorize, all good,  my web can retrieve user information and saves this, but then the user doesnt get refreshtoken when webapp ask for it, response is Bad request. all the other user works well. We have tried to: revoke app, delete user and reauthorize several times. Also Adjusted privacy, so all public, but no luck with this. This user had privacy set to private, and request to follow when first authorizing, I dont know if its matter. So, I will be glad if someone has a possible solution for this.

Problems with integrating accounts ( uploading unzipped files)

Hello all,I tried to integrate my activities into one Strava account. I followed Strava indications so I created a bulk file from my non-desired account and telecharged the files as instructed.When ready to upload the folder (files) into my desired target account files were not accepted/recognized. Strava says it accepts FIT type files but the ones created (by Strava itself) are of the type ####-fit.gz (exe: 104454534.fit.gz) which are not recognized by strava itself. Any option missed when generating these files ? Why can not be recognized by Strava ? how to upload them ?thanks for your support in advanceBR

Identifying workouts from SummaryActivity object

How would you guys recommend I try to identify runs that are workouts from the SummaryActivity object?For context: I have a group of athletes who've authenticated my app whose activities I poll to a Google Sheet via the Google App Script and I want to be able to identify their workouts.I have a few options in my head:1. Ask that my athletes mark their workouts as workouts in Strava, from which I should be able to grab the workout_type and use that (?). I still can't find any place which shows what the valid workout types are. Risk assuming this is even valid: They could forget to mark their run as a workout and then that activity gets overlooked.2. Try to use the laps data. Assumptions: All athletes will use lapping for their workouts and never use lapping for their easy runs. Womp womp.3. Try for a combination of the above two fields: workout_type and laps. From this make a decision on if it's a workout or not. If they forget to mark a workout type, check laps and see if there are fas

API scope

Im a new devloper and creating my first backend for a collage project, I would like to fetch data regarding from every user that uses my application. I have made an application to STRAVA, and gotten a read-scope, which cannot be used to fetch data from all my users. My question is if the following understanding is correct, can I access data from my users regarding their activities if they sign into my app using their Strava account through OAuth?Thank you in advance!

Stuck in Single Player Mode

I've filled out two requests to be taken out of single player mode so I can launch my group run club app. No response from either, it's been a month and a half since the first request, and 2 weeks since the last request. I emailed Strava support and they acknowledge that I'm still on a waiting list. Who else can I bother to resolve this?

Error getting access token and refresh token

I'm following this tutorial here, and the step at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgscChKfGyg&list=PLO6KswO64zVvcRyk0G0MAzh5oKMLb6rTW&index=1 doesn't work for me. Specifically, it's the step where we have a "code" read:all access and we exchange it for an an access token and a refresh token by sending a request of the formhttps://www.strava.com/oauth/token?client_id=ID&client_secret=SECRET&code=CODE&grant_type=authorization_codewhen I do this with my value of ID, SECRET, and CODE I get a page that just says "{"message":"error"}" or I get the 404 page with the red traffic light (I've tried it several times with a few variations on the scope I'm requesting).

Kinni FIT file upload issue (elevation)

Hello Team,We have incorporated the Strava FIT file upload via the Strava API (https://developers.strava.com/docs/uploads/) into our app Kinni (http://kinni.co/) for a number of years. The uploads captured the elevation gain correctly until around mid-July 2023 after which it seems to be missing. We have checked the FIT files being uploaded via the API and nothing has changed as it contains the elevation gain as per the Garmin specifications. If manually uploaded via the Strava web interface elevation gain is still missing. I have attached two examples of FIT files. Both contain elevation gain. The FIT file from Kinni uploads to Strava without the elevation again being captured. The FIT file from Garmin uploads to Strava with the elevation gain captured. We have raised this issue with Strava Support before and have not seen any process from the Strava Support Team since August 03, 2023.We would really appreciate assistance in addressing this issue as we are unable to troubleshoot the i

Count of ActivityTotal using the API

Reading the API docs, Under 'All Models' you have listed 'ActivityTotal’ with a  ‘count’ parameter https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-ActivityTotal What I am hoping to get is just total number of activities I have logged on Strava. While I know I can do this by calling https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities. The problem there is that I would have to paginate to get all the responses which in my case takes a long time. So if there is a way to just get the total number of activities in the account by a count of ActivityTotal then that would be a big help.

How to Retrieve Challenge Data within Clubs Using Strava API?

Hello Strava Developer Community,I hope this message finds you well.My name is Gustavo, and I am working on creating a dashboard for my company to track the activities of our team members.

API documentation bugs

Been using the API for a while now, and trying to mock it using the examples provided in the specification ran into some failures:At /athlete/activities the returned upload_id through SummaryActivity has type long. Yet, the response example uses a 987654321234567891234 value, which is higher than the max int64.There are some fields such as resource_state, max_heartrate or location_city that don't comply with the SummaryActivity definition.The components aren't sorted alphabetically, which makes navigating through the documentation site a bit difficult.
