Hallo, leider wird bei den Aktivitäten die Karte nicht mehr richtig angezeigt, man sieht nur die Tour mit blauem Hintergrund. Aber kein Satellitenbild mehr. Was kann man hier machen? 

Hello!I am looking for a way to retrieve TCX file of activities with the API. I can get TCX for routes but can’t find a way to get the file for activities.I can get it easily using this way : https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918437-Exporting-your-Data-and-Bulk-Export#h_01GDP2C5E3278KM8MPK5X49ED3 “This is a little-known trick, however, it's simple to use.  Simply add "/export_tcx" - without quotes - to the end of your activity page URL. For example, if your activity page is www.strava.com/activities/2865391236 - just add the text to give you  www.strava.com/activities/2865391236/export_tcx and hit enter. This will download a TCX version of your file to the location specified by your browser's preferences” But no luck with API.Can anyone help?

Our bicycle club has authored a command line tool that connects to the Strava API to download an athletes ride data so we can establish metrics for ride difficulty in our region. However we just realized it won’t work because the number of athletes allowed to connect is only 1. To increase the limit we have to submit an application review form. However we just noticed the Strava API Agreement demands the app have some sort of GUI (Graphical User Interface) so that logos can be displayed. But a command line tool can’t display logos. Does that mean command line tools are prohibited from using the API? How do we get around this problem? 

I’m exporting my Strava activities to a CSV with a Python script and for some reason, everything shows up perfectly except for the calories burnt. My weight is entered on Strava and I have tried a few different scripts but to no avail. Calories just don’t show up on my CSV no matter how I write, even though they do appear on my profile. Has anyone else encountered this? I looked up online but couldn't find anything, I don’t know if it’s a Strava issue or I just can’t seem to find the right script to write. Thanks!

I'm trying to authorize myself to use the strava API. I managed to get an access token and specifying the scopes. In order to be able to write data to one of my activities I need to pass in an authorization code (with the great help of ​@Jan_Mantau).  On the internet I found examples of getting the url that would display the code.   static async Task Main(string[] args){ // Step 1: Send user to authorization page var queryParams = new Dictionary<string, string> { { "client_id", clientId }, { "response_type", "code" }, { "redirect_uri", redirectUri }, { "scope", scope } }; var authorizeUri = $"{authorizeUrl}?{string.Join("&", queryParams.Select(kvp => $"{kvp.Key}={Uri.EscapeDataString(kvp.Value)}"))}"; Console.WriteLine($"Open the authorization url: {authorizeUri}");

Hello everyone,I'm currently working on a project that involves analyzing activity patterns on outdoor recreational paths. I'm seeking to access anonymized, aggregated geospatial data that could provide insights into usage patterns, such as peak times, flow of movement, and user demographics.I'm interested in exploring whether the Strava API could support this type of analysis, specifically looking into the volume of trail usage and general movement trends. If anyone has experience with the Strava API or a similar data source for these purposes, I'd appreciate your insights on the feasibility and any best practices you might recommend.Additionally, if there are suggestions for other APIs or open data sources that could serve this use case, please do share.

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-l

I was trying to develop my code (in Python) to gather my club's data for a data science course project. The issue I have is that I'm learning that once I run the request using the authorization code one time, the second time won't work. Even if I get my access and refresh token, running the code in the main will end up running the function to use the authorization code so it'll become invalid and the code won't run. How do I solve this?Here is a picture to show what I mean: 

i tried to collect club members activity using strava api. it gave only 180 activity feed. Even i used pagination concept still it gives duplicates of previous 180 data.

I see that my Elapsed time for my run is greater than the length of each activity streams, which I was not expecting.The activity streams are about the same length as the Moving time of the run, though there are elements in the ‘moving’ stream that have ‘False’ values (not moving). I think my understanding of what event streams are and how they are recorded are a bit off. Would someone be able to explain this? Thank you.

Hello, The Strava website provides a convenient way to get the .tcx files of a specific activity:https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918437-Exporting-your-Data-and-Bulk-Export#h_01GDP2C5E3278KM8MPK5X49ED3This is a little-known trick, however, it's simple to use.  Simply add "/export_tcx" - without quotes - to the end of your activity page URL. For example, if your activity page is www.strava.com/activities/2865391236 - just add the text to give you  www.strava.com/activities/2865391236/export_tcx and hit enter. This will download a TCX version of your file to the location specified by your browser's preferences Is there a way to achieve this with the API? I can get .tcx file for routes but not for activities.Than

Hello. I created app. According to the instructions, I filled it out for testing to Swagger Playground. But when I try to log in, I get an error in the response:{ "message": "Bad Request", "errors": [ { "resource": "Application", "field": "redirect_uri", "code": "invalid" } ] }request url:https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=117684&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.strava.com%2Foauth2-redirect%2F&scope=read&state=U3VuIERlYyAwMyAyMDIzIDIxOjA3OjQzIEdNVCswNzAwICjQndC%2B0LLQvtGB0LjQsdC40YDRgdC6LCDRgdGC0LDQvdC00LDRgNGC0L3QvtC1INCy0YDQtdC80Y8pWhat am I doing wrong?

Hello, I have an application that is used to upload gpx to strava from usb cable connected devices,it can also view activities general details - mostly track and map. It does not duplicate any strava functionality besides uploading gpx via API. It is a desktop app with 1 user only using his own api-application. I was autidted by the team, i got all the required stuff in the app (logos, strava promotion, links to activities ‘view on strava’ etc) and I got all the blessings, plus request limits set for the app. I am happy with that. But my question is - if I make the app public, and some people will download it and use as their private api applications, will that be a concern for me, or just they need to setup their api-app and use it. It is a one-user desktop app. Hope it sounds reasonable ;) if not I can give more details to strava team. 

Dear Strava Support Team,My name is Seokwon Jung, and I live in Seoul, South Korea.Since the end of the pandemic, I have fully embraced running as a hobby and began using the Strava app last year while preparing for a full marathon.Currently, I work as a leasing manager for brand stores during the day time weekday, a graduate student researching urban commercial districts and real estate using big data and GIS at night, and an as a runner and marathon enthusiast on weekends, enjoying the Strava app.Given my background, I have recently become highly interested in Seoul’s running environment. Specific areas such as Hangang river Park and Seoul Forest are forming running communities, which have even attracted related brand antenna shops. Additionally, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has been implementing policies like “Runner’s Station at Yoeyido metro” or “WristDoctor 9988” to foster a better running environment.As such, I would like to analyze Seoul’s

Hi Team! It looks like I accidentally turned off the .Ai analytics feature. Is there a way to switch it back on?

I'm writing software that controls my treadmill. The idea is that I can run any run in the world, and the treadmill responds to the gpx data coming in and is doing all climbs as if it were the real world.At the end of a run, I want to upload my activity to Strava. And that is the point in which I get stuck….Using the client id, client secret I'm able to get a bearer token. This token has read permissions.  In order to write to an activity I need write permissions.  I cant figure out how I can exchange the bearer token for an authorization token that authorizes me to write data to the activity. Can anyone help me?     

Hi,We asked for athlete count increase around 4 weeks back, but haven’t heard back.The ask was to increase the limit to 10K.Did we ask for a too big limit to start? as I see most people here get 999 limit.Can someone help us in expedite this, as this is blocking out our feature release which we have committed based on the timeline (7-10 days) which was shared with us. We are fine by 999 limit as well to get started.

Hello,I am student of high school and i got an idea to create webpage for the students of school and basicly create competition between the classes, which class will have run most km or on bike, or hiking in some period of time. For example in January had class “name of the class” run most km, so they won. The problem is that in my API application “the number of allowed athletes” is just one, and if I understand it correctly, i should send mail to strava so they will change it, right? So I wanted to ask if its not useless to send the mail considering the whole idea, if it makes sense? If its not just waste of time. Also I ve seen some information about data privacy, and what i wanted to do, was to display data of the activites that the users have done and also the data of the class as whole. So display who have how much kilometers run or cycled, and then which class has how much run and cycled. I dont know if its not problem considering the rules of strava API a

When I record a workout on Hevy it tracks Kcal burned.When I finish the Workout and it saves.This data is implemented into Apple Health but does not sync to Strava.

Since february 27, my webhook -that was succesfully working since 2018, stopped receiving events from Strava. Nothing changed on my application side.[    {        "id": 130673,        "resource_state": 2,        "application_id": 16505,        "callback_url": "https://www.cycloclub.be/stravacallback.php",        "created_at": "2018-11-14T08:19:33+00:00",        "updated_at": "2018-11-14T08:19:33+00:00"    }]I checked everything, deleted the subscription (succesfull), and re-registered it, which fails with message GET to callback URL does not return 200.I did all checks, verified the callback-URL, but can’t figure out the issue.It seems that Strava -for some reason- can no longer reach the website/URL, as I’m also seeing no longer requests coming from Strava to the webserver since feb 27.Has anyone encountered similar issues ?

Hello, this is New Balance Korea. We connect to Strava through an app called MYNB to record and store running data and provide related services to our customers. However, for a while, the data has not been reflected properly, and recently, the icon for installing Strava app has not been viewed on Google Play and the App Store. Do you have any plans to suspend or reduce services to South Korea? If so, please answer the specific schedule plan.

Hi,the Strava authentication in my windows app CR4NKUP is not working anymore. The app was built in Unity and uses the Vuplex Webengine ( https://developer.vuplex.com/webview/overview ). When the user wants to connect his Strava account for uploading activities to Strava the InApp Webbrowser is opened with the Authentication url and according parameters and the user has to authorize. My app handles then the upload of the activities to Strava and takes care about token refresh, etc. Everything was working fine for more than one year. But since about two months the Authentication does not work anymore.When the Strava page is opened in the InApp webbrowser and the user enters his credentials (email) the page shows an error instead of the next page to enter the password. The error is something like this (translation from German to English):Unexpected Er
