strava oauth approval_prompt

Hello, I have a problem with strava authentication. When the user logs in for the first time everything goes well. However, during subsequent connections it still requires authorization to connect to the Strava account instead of directly connecting it to my application. The approval_prompt parameter is of course "auto". I don't see where the problem could be. Thanks in advance

More details needed: Mandatory Linking to Strava Data

The Strava API Brand Guidelines state:> You must link back to all original Strava data sources presented in your applicationIs there any documentation that gives any more detail on how to do this? When I first read this I had assumed that the API responses would provide links back to the Strava resource, but that doesn't appear to be the case.Some questions:- Is it okay to link back to the Strava web app, or does it have to link to the precise resource?- On mobile, should this link to the Strava mobile app (deep link), or to the Strava web app?- How can we know the url to link to?

modify visibility

I have written a python script to modify the visibility of all my recorded activities from "only_me" to "everyone". The script works and the return from the api indicates that the update was performed successfully. However in reality the privacy flag is not changed. Is that a limitation of the api?

athletes/{id}/routes returns 403

I'm calling athletes/{id}/routes in swagger and receiving a 403 error. I have successfully authorized myself with read_all permissions. FWIW, everything I try in swagger returns a 403.

Moving time identical to elapsed time for activity uploaded through Upload API

Hi there,When sending a .gpx file through https://www.strava.com/api/v3/uploads route, my moving time is identical as the elapsed time. In the .gpx file, there are clearly timestamps that have power, cadence and other data as 0, where I literally stopped cycling. In the graphs, I see that power data is correct for that period, but still moving time is equal to elapsed time. Is there something I'm missing in the Upload API? Will happily provide gpx files if needed.Best regards,Marijo

Bootstrapping a new app with data

I'm super curious how developers are bootstrapping their data.When starting a new app, I want to bootstrap my database with my personal history. So rather than simply leveraging webhooks, I want to first read in past events. This is impossible with the current rate limits. What do most people do to solve this problem?Thanks!

Strava API Streaming

Howdy folks! I have an issue I simply cannot figure out. I am trying to stream data from an activity. I am using postman to test my queries. As we can see, the activity is real and works. The key has read all and read permissions for activities via scope=read,read_all,activity:read_all,activity:read,profile:read_allHowever, the stream query is not working. Any insights would be super appreciated.

Use Strava API to return Custom Waypoints?

I was interested to see the new feature Custom Waypoints on Strava Routes! I'm wondering how an app using the Strava REST API can query for the custom waypoints.What I tried:A request to https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/routes didn't show the custom waypoints I addedFrom https://www.strava.com/api/v3/routes/3153006196918182754 I don't see the custom waypoints eitherI was hoping I could use the custom waypoints to remind myself with things like "double check if this road should be marked private in openstreetmap." (That's the main reason I use my custom web app: it shows my strava route overlaid with openstreetmap layers for e.g. private roads, fixme tags, etc.)I don't think the official Strava Android app shows the custom waypoints either: I choose a route before starting recording a run, and the waypoints aren't visible yet.If there's some "developer roadmap" of when we can expect the android app and/or API to support custom waypoints, I'd love to see it!

Historical Data from API

Hello, we are using STRAVA's api and in need to get the data of the user (even the data he had before authorizing our app). Is it possible or do you only allow us to get the data of the user that has been synced or uploaded to Strava after him/her authorizing our app?Thanks.

Set activity privacy and map visibility via API

I think API write access for Activity privacy settings would be a useful addition to Strava because this would allow users to configure third-party apps to manage their Activity privacy settings with greater granularity than Strava offers through its current UI. I would like to be able to set both Activity visibility as well as Activity map visibility via API. Ideally, Strava would also provide the ability to configure these defaults in-app. However, in lieu of more granular control over privacy defaults within the app itself, this would be a significant improvement to Strava's privacy features and one that would have a significant positive impact on user Trust & Safety. For example, it would allow a user to programmatically hide the entire map for their commutes, walks, or runs—which may tend to occur in more predictable zones and within a tighter radius of their residences and places of work—while configuring different default map visibility settings for bike rides or ski activit

Having other athletes authenticate your app to get more information on their activities

I found this conversation here where a man named John said that he was able to bypass the limitations of the getClubActivitiesById endpoint by having people authenticate his app, allowing him full access to their activity details at the level they authorize. Is there any validity to this, or do you guys have any ideas as to what this would look like? I don't think that them authenticating your app would give you more access to their activities through the getClubActivitiesById endpoint, given there's a response data limitation there to such few fields. Theoretically, how would I get the extra details? Would I have to use the "List Athlete Activities" endpoint, but that endpoint doesn't have any extra parameters for the request URL? In an attempt to do this myself, I sent them a link like this: https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=<myClientId>&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost/exchange_token&approval_prompt=force&scope=activity:read_

Athlete Capacity - 999 reaching limit in one week

Hi!First of all, congratulations on all the great work you are doing; it's amazing! We are delighted to be integrated with Strava, as it greatly enhances our user experience.We are managing well with the rate limits, but the one that concerns us the most is the Athletes Capacity. Currently, we already overcome 50% of our maximum capacity, and we are still in the Beta phase. This makes us a bit anxious because we don't want to provide a poor user experience for our athletes when we reach that limit.I apologize if this isn't the appropriate channel for addressing this "issue", please tell if we should follow any other path.Best regards,

Getting an Error 500 of club activities requests

Hi there.Since this morning I have been getting Error 500 from my calls to get the club activities. It has been running smoothly for the past 22 days but suddenly today I am facing issues without any changes to programming, code or how it is used. I have checked all the access codes etc and they are all correct.This is the most important few days for the project which finishes on Christmas day, so I really need to find a fix for whatever has happened

Clubs endpoint documentation update

Can you please update the clubs documentation at https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-Clubs. The data returned does not match the docs and there is some limit to the pagination effecting the number of activities that can be returned. Many users ran into both these issues and posted on the old Google groups.Hopefully when you document these it will become clear this endpoint needs to be improved as it's currently of very limited use.
