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.

Deauthorizing athletes without access token

Now that Strava’s new Developer Program has introduced a limit on the number of athletes who can register with an app, we can see the number of "athletes currently connected" in our API settings.I can see that the number in the API settings (Strava side) is higher than the number of athletes using my app. I seem to remember (maybe incorrectly) that there was a time when apps did not have access to the deauthorization endpoint, so I (and maybe others) would simply delete the athlete account on the app side and ignore the incoming webhooks for those athletes.The net result is that some devs will now want to deauthorize 'stale' athletes, but they no longer have the access tokens required by the endpoint.Now that a limit is being put on the number of connected athletes per app, will there be an opportunity for devs to deauthorize athletes without access token? Otherwise some apps will be hitting their athlete limit much sooner than they should...

access to Live Segments API

Hello,in the first line of the following link https://developers.strava.com/docs/partner/strava-live-segments/ it is mentioned that:"Strava Live Segments is an API that allows users to compare their real time effort with Strava segment efforts on their device. To inquire about Strava Live Segments licensing, contact developers -at- strava.com with the subject line “Strava Live Segments Request” and include your API App ID."I did send an email requesting access to the Live segments API only to get an automtic reply redirecting me to this forum. Can someone help me understand what i have to do to get access to the live segments API?I understand that this is more of a private API using a diffetent endpoint (https://www.strava.com/api/v3/live/segments/:id)  than the one mentioned here https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/ (https://www.strava.com/api/v3/)Thanks

Can we get the everysec activity detailed through v3 api?

I wander whether Strava v3 API offer the same, because I cannot find this information in API Docs. The Activity Detailed is as follow:"samples": [{"startTimeInSeconds": 1695538280,"bikeCadenceInRPM": 0.0,"timerDurationInSeconds": 0,"movingDurationInSeconds": 0,"heartRate": 99,"elevationInMeters": 3.200000047683716,"speedMetersPerSecond": 1.8940000534057617,"latitudeInDegree": 22.55610477179289,"clockDurationInSeconds": 0,"longitudeInDegree": 113.87656951323152,"airTemperatureCelcius": 35.0,"totalDistanceInMeters": 0.029999999329447746}, {"powerInWatts": 0.0,"longitudeInDegree": 113.87656565755606,"totalDistanceInMeters": 1.9199999570846558,"startTimeInSeconds": 1695538281,"bikeCadenceInRPM": 0.0,"timerDurationInSeconds": 1,"movingDurationInSeconds": 1,"heartRate": 99,"elevationInMeters": 3.0,"speedMetersPerSecond": 1.8940000534057617,"latitudeI

Bad Request Issue During API Call.

We made a web app and connected strava API to get the activity of athletes, We only get the activity of athletes who are associated with our strava app, but we don't get the activity of those who are not associated with our apps. Many people connect their Strava account with our web app, and when we are going to generate refreshing tokens it says bad request. Please let me know how we can get all of the activity of athletes who are connected to our web apps via strava. Do we need to any extra settings of the app for public mode?

Strava duplicates inconsistent HTTP responses based on Strava account(old/new)

Hi, we discovered a strange behavior when uploading duplicate activities on Strava. We use the endpoint Post /uploads in order to upload activities on Strava and there is a case when for example a user tries to upload twice same activity and we have on our side the following handling: if the response from Strava is 400 and the message response contains "duplicate" we are providing to the user a message saying that "the activity is already uploaded", but we observed that for some accounts when we try to upload duplicates activities we receive 201 from Strava meaning "activity successfully uploaded".Strava accounts observed behavior:for new Strava accounts seems to receive the correct response 400 in case of duplicates (e.g Strava accounts created for example today or 3 days ago)for old Strava accounts we receive 201 in case of duplicate requests (e.g Strava accounts created one year ago or 3 months)but after some time (2 days - 1 week) also for the new accounts we received 201 in case o
