why can't I create a route that has a simple out and back segment?

I'm trying to create a new route, and there's a section of road that's a simple out and back.  The creator is forcing my route into a loop, when I don't want additional roads on that section, in fact, I just want the route to follow my cursor.  It didn't behave this way previously (a few months ago).  What gives?  Please change it back.

missing activity id from 'get_logged_in_athlete_activities'

When I use the python API to get the activities from the logged in user, I want to display the heart rate as well, which i don't get in the summary and thats already annoying.So I need to make a separate call to the activity/{id}. But now I find out that i don't get the ID in the summary either. I've tried to upload_id but thats not working either. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Access-Control-Expose-Headers

I would like to show to my users that they are using the Strava API with limit (100 request per 15 minutes, etc.)The Strava API has HTTP response header for that : X-Ratelimit-Usage and X-Ratelimit-Limit I would like to use them in the HTTP javascript fetch API. But I need the CORS Setting for that: Access-Control-Expose-Headers Thanks if you can add it. 😊

Don't receive heart rate data from activities API

Hi there!I'm retrieving my latest run with the following endpoint: /athlete/activities and then the method "getLoggedInAthleteActivities". This works well, but I don't get the same response as the sample response given there. I don't get anything back from my heart rate information. Is this a permissions thing or am I missing something?

Issue with displaying splits and calories for TCX file uploads

Hello,I've encountered an issue when uploading TCX files through code, where the splits view and calorie data aren't displayed on the website, despite these details showing up correctly when I upload the same file manually through the website.Here's what I've done:Initial upload via code: When I upload a TCX file programmatically (using code), the activity appears on Strava, but without splits or calorie information.Manual upload for comparison: To ensure the issue wasn't with the file itself, I uploaded the same TCX file manually through the Strava website. Interestingly, this time, both splits and calories were visible.Verification process: I took an extra step to download the activity file that I uploaded through the website (whiich showed splits and calories) and compared it with the original file I was trying to upload via code. Upon comparison, both files were identical, confirming no difference in the data.This situation leads me to believe there might be a difference in how fil

TCX comparison vs Stream/Lap data from api

HI,I'm currently looking into using the strava api to export my activities to Gpx/Tcx (or any other format that suits my needs) because Garmin doesn't offer such a service / api. When looking into the data and comparing an activity from Garmin, exported in TCX format, with the data I can collect using the streams/laps api I noticed a few things?1. The start/endindex of the first lap sometimes seem to be 0? Why can this happend and how should I deal with this? Since the lenght of the lap corresponds with the length found in Strava/Garmin ui.2. The endIndex of the last lap doesn't correspond with the last index in the stream data? F.i. 1980 for the size in the stream. 1956 in the lap data?Can someone explain to me why this could happen? And how to work with it?

Rate Limit Exceeded but not really

See if gear is default for sport via API

Has gear-related data that is retrievable by APIs been updated since the default gear by sport update (https://stories.strava.com/articles/set-default-gear-by-sport)?I was expecting that the data returned by getActivityById would have gear > primary set to True if the gear used is the primary gear for the activity's sport type (or at least, if that gear was primary for that sport at the time of creation of the activity). However, I'm seeing primary still set to False in that case, so I'm wondering if that field refers to a now defunct global default setting for gear. How can I retrieve whether gear is primary for a sport type with by API?

Trail Data

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.

Return detailed representation for multiple activity ids

I would like a faster method of querying a detailed representation for a list of Strava activities. I can make a single query via:/activities/{id}However, I have 1000 activities and need to make a seperate call for each acitivity id. And this takes too long.It would be nice to be able to query on a list of activity ids. Is this possible?Side note: The same question was stated nicely on another forum. I did not write it, but will link for clarity.

GPX import ignores trkseg XML tags thus violating GPX specification and counting wrong distance

It looks like Strava's GPX importer completly ignores "trkseg" XML tag. In attached file there are two segments.GPX file contains one track (trk XML tag). This track can have one or more segments (trkseg XML tag). Segment have points (trkpt XML tag). Distance should be counted as distance between all points inside one (and every) segment but not between segments.Example:Let's have one track with two segments.First segment: point A, point B, point CSecond segment: point D, point EDistance should be counted as:track_distance = distance(A, B) + distance(B, C) + distance(D, E)You count it as:track_distance = distance(A, B) + distance(B, C) + distance(C, D) + distance(D, E)(which is wrong, distance between C and D must not be in total distance)Distance between last segment point and first point of next segment must not be counted in whole distance.According to GPX specification:https://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/#type_trksegTypeA Track Segment holds a list of Track Points which are logicall

Why don't routes and activies show both polyline and summary_polyline

The API docs says that both getActivityById and getRouteById should return both a map.polyline and map.summary_polyline. However, my activities only have a polyline and don't have a summary_polyline. My routes, meanwhile, only show summary_polyline and no polyline. Am I missing something?Also, does anyone have a good description between polyline and summary_polyline?

Register an App w/o Subscription

My understanding is that the only way to register multiple apps is to create an account for each, as a single account cannot be associated with more than one app. As such I set up a new account, however was unable to register my new app as I did not have permission to access strava.com/settings/api. In the UI this appeared as the "My API Application" button not being present. I was unable to find any documentation discussing this, but then decided to sign up for the trial subscription and it worked fine from then on.This seems wrong as devs surely should not be expected to create and subscribe to a new account if they are woking on multiple apps as I am. Also there is no mention of this being a  feature of a sub, if it were intentional.Perhaps I am missing something or if not, could someone from Strava please help clarify the rational here?

Webhook is called multiple times?

Hi all, I've noticed that my webhook is called 3 times when an activity is added or edited. Any reason why this is? There's obviously only one webhook setup at the strava side. I see them in my server logs with something like 7 minutes between them. There are push notifications in my app based on information from the webhook, so now people are getting multiple notifications. What can I do to debug this? My server responds with an empty json response within the specified 2 seconds. Thanks.

Développement des KOM / Development of KOMs

Bonjour,Voici une idée concernant le développement des KOM et de la ludification des activités sportives sur STRAVA. Je me suis posé la question s'il était possible d'établir des KOM millésimés (KOM-2023 / KOM-2024 ....) en conservant également le KOM général qui se base sur la meilleure performance de tout temps sur un segment. Cela permettrai d'offrir la possibilité à chacun de décrocher un KOM annuel sur les segments. Celui-ci remis en jeu à chaque nouvelle année un peu comme l'esprit d'une course ou il existe un record de tout temps (le KOM général) et un vainqueur par édition (KOM Annuel ou KOM Millésimé).Cordialement,Pierre KOCH TRANSLATION: Good morning,Here is an idea regarding the development of KOMs and the gamification of sports activities on STRAVA.
