Developers & API

 Hi,I'm encountering an issue with the Strava API when trying to retrieve activities. Despite following the OAuth flow as per the Getting Started documentation, I consistently receive the following error:{ "message": "Authorization Error", "errors": [ { "resource": "Athlete", "field": "access_token", "code": "invalid" } ]}Here’s what I’ve done so far: Generated an authorization code using the following URL: https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=143540&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_type=code&scope=activity:read_all Exchanged the authorization code for an access token and refresh token: https://www.s

Hi In the webpage, fitness and freshness is retrieved from here https://www.strava.com/fitness/{athlete_id}?range=3months&type=&source=combined What is the equivalent endpoint in the API to retrieve that information?Thanks

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.

Hi Strava team, We have  the 999 Athlete limit and have tried contacting support to request to increase it 200k but we didnt get any update for almost 1month now.Is there a separate contact form or method to get this number increased?Thanks.

FINISH TIME IS 1:49 MIN BUT THE PR FOR 50K 1:51 MIN PLEASE SOLVE THE ISSUE

Hi, I would like to know if there can be given any estimate on how long you have to be on the waiting list before the Jefit integration with Strava will be activated? Best regards,  Bert Maes 

At the time of setting up my api application, I added 1 in Number of athletes allowed to connect and Number of athletes currently connected. How can I change this. As I am trying to use the app its giving me error - Error 401: Limit of connected athletes exceeded.

Hi!I’m trying to reverse engineer the exact split information from the streams data in the Strava API.  It works OK for most cases, but I’ve noticed that there’s often times a discrepancy between the length of the distance/time array and the exact moving time (ie. the `moving_time` field).  In some cases, the streams data is wildly off.For example, all of the streams for one of my activities have length 2316.  But, the moving time for the activity is 2295.  The distance stream ends with a distance 6589.7, but the `distance` field has value 6586.9.  Is there a reason for the discrepancy in streams data? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just joined the forums and recently released an iOS app that allows users to make photos with their running / walking / workout stats: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/run-story/id6737940528I have almost 300 users and am still under the rate limit at the moment. I submitted a request to increase a couple weeks ago before officially launching but never heard back, so followed up with another email today.Does anyone know the typical turn around time and if requests are accepted? Would love to make sure I have a little buffer so users don’t have a bad experience.Thanks!

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!

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? 

I have been uploading tcx files for a while and it worked without problems but recently they have stopped working with the very useful “Error processing Data” message.Does anybody know what changed? Or does anybody have an idea on how to debug this?The tcx file is still well formed and valid.

Hi There are some endpoints i am missing in the strava swagger, dont know if those are available. This is the info i want to retrieve: 1 - Power distribution zones - in a workout, there is an option, zone distribution, that displays the power split by the 7 zones  (https://www.strava.com/activities/{id}/zone-distribution 2 - Freshness and fitness, to retrieve fitness, fatigue etc (https://www.strava.com/athlete/fitness) 3 - Weather information (klimat). Although the activity enpdoint displays the temperature, as i have the klimat app enabled, i would like to retrieve that info as well Can you help me to find out how can i access that data please?Thanks 

I have an application integrated to strava api. For some athletes the stats in the API are wrong. Mostly the alltime ride distance, number of rides are way too off.  Interestingly the strava android app is also showing the wrong data when viewed as a follower. But the website is showing correct data. How can this be resolved?

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.

Hey, in google sheets, I’m attempting to set up an automated spreadsheet to use a few segment URLs as an input, and provide an output of the segment’s name and also the most recent date ANYONE has completed it. I’ve successfully grabbed the segment’s name, but not sure how to go about getting the most recent completed date. I don’t care at all about the person’s name or time or any personal information - literally just what was the date it was most recently completed. Can anyone offer a good way of doing this via Strava’s API? I have already created an API app as a DataImporter and am using google’s AppsScript editor to aid in this. Thanks for your help and time.

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.

Hi Strava Support,I am facing one issue for a bunch of athletes in my team with the API for last few days. Its not happening for every athlete, just hand full. My rest api call for stats is not returning data for the ytd_run_totals . This was working earlier for couple of years now. For example below is the callhttps://www.strava.com/api/v3/athletes/someid/stats{"biggest_ride_distance": 10119.7,"biggest_climb_elevation_gain": 27.599999999999994,"recent_ride_totals": {"count": 2,"distance": 1315.5,"moving_time": 360,"elapsed_time": 430,"elevation_gain": 2.0,"achievement_count": 0},"all_ride_totals": {"count": 9,"distance": 17241.799926757812,"moving_time": 6208,"elapsed_time": 7701,"elevation_gain": 81.0},"recent_run_totals": {"cou

I'm unable to perform any GET requests after completing the initial auth setup and successfully exchanging the auth token for refresh token, access token, and expiration date. The POST was successful and I can see my athlete info, but unable to do GET requests after:https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete?access_token=[access_token from api settings]response:{    "message": "Authorization Error",    "errors": [        {            "resource"

HiLooking at my app today the matches ride analysis is missing, and the segment analysis is missing most rides. Is this a global issue or someone can resolve through the app?  Mark

I submitted two requests one week ago but have not received any response from the Strava team. My project is very urgent, so what can I do to get approval or who can I contact for support on this issue?

We encountered a 401 - Unauthorized Access error while attempting to retrieve the last six months of activity data for an authenticated rider using the Strava API Method: List Athlete Activities (getLoggedInAthleteActivities).We would appreciate any insights from the community regarding the potential reasons for this error.Thanks in advance,Saji

HiyaWe have noticed users creating strava accounts with temporary email address providersAnd then coming to our appWe cannot detect this behaviour in our app - so would kindly ask Strava to enhance its security on the use of temporary email addresses to create accountsIt would be good in the Athlete API response we could get the users email address also so we can check its domainThanks

The auth request stopped working. I used to work fine for our app. We didn't change anything in the app config or strava config.This is our url call to start the access request:strava://oauth/mobile/authorize?redirect_uri=ourAppName://stravaAuth&approval_prompt=auto&client_id=the-client-id&state=ios413&scope=activity:write&response_type=code It opens the Strava app but brings a white screen with the error • Invalid redirect URIIs there anything new we missed on the Strava API?

Curious if I had a list of key segments in a trail network if you could use the API to give the number of riders on the segments “today” and possibly the average speed?My idea is to know what winter fat bike trails are running well and have been packed down already. If no one has been on the trail it probably means you should bring snow shoes instead.I can get this data by digging around on the web version but it would be nice not to have to go segment by segment, and possibly have a nice way to present it to the community.
