Wrong lap start_indexes and end_index

Hi, API sends strange laps data via getLapsByActivityId  for short activities (less than 5km) with incorrect start_index and end_index of each lap.For example, https://www.strava.com/activities/11280411371/lapsEach lap is equal 1km.API for it returns:"distance": 1000,"lap_index": 1,"split": 1,"start_index": 0,"end_index": 93,In Streams data distance for index 93 is 300 m,  time 93 seconds. Should be 1000 m and about 284 seconds. The same for other laps. So all data from Streams matched with such indexes are incorrect and doesnt correspond with lap data in Strava via activity link above.For activities with distance above 5km all data is correct.  Will be appreciated for any advices how get correct data for laps.Thanks!

How can I get "code" and "scope" in Android?

      When calling https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize to obtain the code and scope, pull up the page according to the Android Sample code in the document. Then click "Authorize" on the page and "Request Failed" will pop up like this:       When I put the request into the webView, the strava login request will be played first, but after clicking Log in using google, it is not redirected to the user authorization page, but directly goes to the strava homepage. How can I get "code" and "scope" in Android?

New Token with RefreshToken - Authorization Error - AccessToken - activity:read_permission - missing

Initally I'm getting the first Authorization with GET - https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize -> scope = activity:read_all using the access token and storing the refresh token.Now I'm getting the activities GET https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities -> everything is fine!But when the original access token expires, I'm getting a new access token with the refresh token (https://www.strava.com/oauth/token) I stored before. With the new access token I'm doing the same GET request to get the activities now the issue happens, I don't know why. The activity:read_permission should be set in the first call now I'm just getting a new Access token with the original refresh token, I can not set permissions here. What do I miss?Status: 401 (Failure){"message": "Authorization Error","errors": [{"resource": "AccessToken","field": "activity:read_permission","code": "missing"}]}

Requests to Strava API hanging on production but working on localhost

I have a React/NestJS based app that used to work well but since a few weeks the requests to the Strava API are not working anymore... I first noticed it with requests to create push subscriptions and to get a user access token, both of them are sent but hanging without responses or errors... I added an interceptor on my axios instance to see if I can understand the problem but nothing, I see that the request is sent but then nothing like if it was never coming back from Strava API... One of the weird thing is that on the Strava dashboard I can see that some requests are made to the API as we can see on the screen capture...The second weird thing is that on local it's working perfectly fine...I wonder if this is possible to have some logs from the Strava API to see if there is something wrong with my requests on my production app ? Or any other idea ?

Add sport type to webhook events

First of all, I want to appreciate you for making the API publicly accessible. But day to day I face issues, or lack of features, that make integrating with Strava harder. I hope this one is not another thread unanswered (or poorly answered) as with most of the threads I opened so far. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll be forced to just stop contributing. I strongly hope that's not the case.This time is about the webhook events: they do not include the sport type. IMO, this is a key field, mostly for create aspect type.As ourselves, I'm sure there are a lot of people that will need this because their App is just related to a single (or subset of) sport: cycling, running... Not having this field implies a call to the API per event to check whether if the event should be processed or not. This makes the event almost unusable.Hoping for an answer,Thanks.

trigger the elevation auto correction via API

my polar device's barometric altimeter is very inaccurate, resulting in completely wrong power estimates for activities and segments. it would be nice to be able to trigger the ... "adjust elevation" command of strava via API in order to use strava basemap data? this way an automation task could be used to fix elevation of activities in strautomator or similar tools.

Create activity with elevation using the API

I'm currently working on integrating my climbing app with Strava, and I've hit a bit of a roadblock. When I manually create an activity on Strava through the browser, I have the option to enter the elevation. However, when I try to do the same thing programmatically using the createActivity API, I can't seem to find an option to specify the elevation.This is crucial for my climbing app's functionality, and without it, integrating with Strava is kind of pointless. Can anyone shed some light on what I might be missing here? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Very few notifications from my push subscription

I have a large number of users attached to a push subscription - all was working until around the 28th April.  Now only a handful of users' data is coming through.For those that aren't I have verified I have live keys/tokens for them and I am able to manually poll and fetch their activities.My endpoint seems to be working and I have had it write to a log file each time it is called and that log file is very barren!I have checked my subscription is still set up correctly using the push_subscriptions endpoint and it looks fine.The one elephant in the room is that I have moved the site to a new host in the small hours of Monday morning.  So the IP address has changed but the domain is still the same - I'd be suprised if you are using the IP address anyway.Any thoughts on what is going wrong here?  Or maybe there's a fault with the subs service at the moment?Andrew

However, our callback url is behind an AWS WAF and hence notifications from Strava are getting blocked. Can you please provide a list of IPs to whitelist so that we can unblock Strava traffic?

Missing Club Data

I have been using Strava API to extract club data to collect data from 2024 from all members. Because the club was made in December 2023, I was originally got some data from 2023, which I excluded through ignoring the first 40 runs.Since then, when I run the application, without excluding the runs and the only if statements being to only include runs, the API extracts 207 runs, whereas I am expecting 218 plus those extra 40 runs that were originally included.Looking at each page, as only 200 results are allowed per page, the first page has 200 results, second page 7 and third page 0.Does anyone have any idea what may be causing the issue where the earliest runs are being excluded?

No answer for rate increase

Hello,I requested a rate increase via email over a month ago and have not yet received a response. We now cannot serve our user base anymore and it affects our service. Our growth is still significant, and we strive to minimize the number of requests. In the past, I proposed a solution that would enable developers to easily and effectively reduce the number of requests. However, it is currently not implemented yet (see https://communityhub.strava.com/t5/developer-discussions/developer-webhook-events-api-for-new-workout-add-field-workout/td-p/6479).Best regardsJan

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
