Developers & API

My club have 1,096 members and I’m the owner from this club, but is not possible to see the member list. When I click on the website the tab “Members” I get the message: “This club have no members”. When I go to the mobile app and click the tab “Overview” I see also no members. Please fix this bug.

E-bike differentiation Will it be possible on Strava in the foreseeable future to categorize e-bike activities in a more differentiated way? Since I started riding an electric road bike, I’ve noticed that I have virtually no chance of achieving personal records, segment results, or QOMs. This is because everything—from a standard pedelec to a tuned electric mountain bike—is currently treated the same. As a result, the tracking and competitive experience is significantly diminished. A more nuanced classification of e-bikes would make performance comparisons much fairer and more meaningful for riders using different types of electric assistance.

You probably have received THE EMAIL. Little summary:Good news everyone: Strava just sent an official update and it looks like they were listening.Here's what's changing and what it means for those of us stuck on the athlete limit:The immediate fix: Standard Tier developers can now self-upgrade to 10 athletes directly from the API settings dashboard, no form, no queue, no waiting for a response from developers@strava.com, I have emailed them 10 times in the last 2 weeks, so they will be happy as well I think. Go do it now, I would.The new tier structure:Standard Tier: up to 10 athletes, self-managed, no formal review Extended Access Tier: higher rate limits, greater user capacity, prioritized developer support, access to Partner APIs, and no Strava subscription requiredGo to strava.com/settings/api to see what TIER you’re in.Key dates to have on your radar:June 1, 2026: changes are live. New tiers active, self-upgrade available now June 30, 2026: Standard Tier developers will need a St

as a run club founder I use Strava mainly but sometime I want to create an event that is private and is invite only so people might apply to the event and only accepted members are allowed to join. I feel like this feature would be great since it'll make events that are limited in numbers because of location or safety be hosted also on Strava!

Is it possible to add new activity - via ferrata? I guess this is a quite popular activity in Europe and it is available in other apps such as Alltrails, Wikiloc.

It looks like a huge percentage of posts over the past few weeks and months on here are about Strava’s utter silence regarding the Connected Athlete / Rate Limit increases that are going unresolved, and the non-response from developers@strava.com . Perhaps it could be helpful if everyone in this same boat (I’ve been waiting 7 weeks, with no response) to all post here, and we can coordinate a list of all Client IDs and what they’re wanting (Athlete Limit increase, Daily Rate Limit Increase, etc), and provide that to Strava to streamline for their developers (best case), or take it somewhere more visible online to draw attention to this situation (worst case, if things are still up in the air for a while). It’s not the waiting that’s necessarily the issue (although we all want to be able to move forward with our applications) - it’s the complete silence, and not knowing whether it’ll be another week or 6 months before we can expect a response. Right now, this forum is just a flood of peo

I’m finding myself often using a lot of time planning to Create new interesting routes in order to keeping my runs and rides interesting, especially when planning activities more on the adventurous side. I thought it’d be a useful Heatmap view it one could see the global heatmap information but with your personal heatmap subtracted from it. This way you’d be shown, per sport, where are the routes other community members are typically using, that you have/are not. This way it’d be a quicker glance to see “Hey, here’s a trail or path others prefer, but would be new for me.” Maybe this could be a tickbox option under the Global Heatmap: “Subtract Personal heatmap”. Of course you can try to visualize this somehow already today by fiddling with the colors of the two heatmaps, but it easily gets messy and unintuitive.  Hope this post is useful and in the right place to begin with… (Was not exactly well implied where new Strava feature ideas should be posted.) :)

Hi Strava Support Team,I am reporting a specific backend bug regarding the auto-sync API between Garmin Connect and Strava, which started occurring around late May 2026.Whenever an activity is automatically synced from my Garmin Edge 840, Strava ignores my profile's language settings (Italian) and defaults the generated activity title to English (e.g., "Afternoon Gravel Ride" or "Lunch Ride").I have performed extensive troubleshooting to isolate the issue. Here is the undeniable evidence that the bug is located in the server-to-server API payload for this specific device:Manual Upload works perfectly: If I take the exact same .fit file from the Edge 840 and manually upload it via the Strava website, Strava correctly parses it and generates the title in perfect Italian (e.g., "Sessione di gravel biking pomeridiana"). This proves the .fit file itself is not corrupted and does not contain hardcoded English tags.Other Garmin devices work perfectly: If I auto-sync a swimming activity using

Excuse me, I joined the Strava Developer Program last year, but recently when I wanted to increase the number of connections, it prompted me that I need to subscribe and pay to use it. I want to confirm if all developers now need to subscribe and pay to use it. Can paying increase the number of users

Olá, equipe de desenvolvedores do Strava,Venho por meio desta solicitar um aumento do limite de atletas e de requisições para o meu aplicativo "MeuPace", atualmente em fase de testes com usuários reais na região Norte do Brasil.DETALHES DA CANDIDATURANome do aplicativo: MeuPace ID do cliente: 259263 Site: https://meupaceapp.replit.app Domínio de retorno de chamada: meupaceapp.replit.app Conformidade com a marca: total conformidade com as Diretrizes da Marca Strava — a cor laranja (#FC4C02) é usada apenas para o botão oficial "Conectar com o Strava"; o restante do aplicativo usa nossa própria paleta de cores.O QUE O APLICATIVO FAZMeuPace é um aplicativo mobile-first de coaching de corrida para atletas brasileiros, com foco inicial em Roraima.

Hi Strava team and community,I submitted an Extended Access Tier request via the developer form on June 4 for BLOOMLAB FLUX (Client ID 228751) and would appreciate a status check or any guidance.What FLUX is: a nutrition-timing PWA for endurance athletes. It is a direct integration — athlete data is processed in-house to generate fueling/hydration guidance and is never shared with any third-party platform. We show "Powered by Strava" and "View on Strava" across the app per the brand guidelines (Support URL: https://flux.bloomlab.kr).Why I am asking: we already have active athletes training on FLUX and syncing real workout data, with more users waiting to connect. We are currently capped at 10 connected athletes, which creates a chicken-and-egg situation versus the ~100-user expectation.Request: would a phased increase (e.g., 10 to 100) tied to actual usage growth be possible? I have seen this tiered approach mentioned here before, and it would let us onboard waiting users responsibly.H

Hi there I requested an athlete user upgrade to 1000 (i’m a paying strava customer) Client ID: 88770 App name: Widget Requested increase: 1000 connected athletes (from 10) Date submitted: 7 May 2026

Hi,Posting here to try to get some feedback on my athlete-limit increase form(submitted April 29, then again June 1 following the Strava API changes). What changed since the June 1 update: I self-upgraded to the 10-athleteStandard Tier — and I'm already at capacity (9/10 connected), with ~150users on a waitlist, ready to connect. The 10-athlete cap is now the onlything holding back the public launch. The app: RunQuest maps an athlete's Strava activities onto a grid ofunlockable territory squares (read-only, gamified running, France-only atlaunch). The app is already live on Google Play and the App Store in France. Compliance: read-only scopes, direct API calls from my own backend (nothird-party intermediary platform), compliant with brand guidelines("Connect with Strava" button + Strava attribution on all data displays).From my point of view, I meet all the requirements. The ask: my form requested 2000. If a lower interim cap (e.g. 500) isfaster to approve, that works perfectly for me

Hi Strava Developer Support and Community,Our Strava API access for GW Race Control is expiring tomorrow, and we have not received a response to our previous emails or application review request.App name: GW Race ControlClient ID: 252644Current athlete capacity: 10Requested athlete capacity: 5,000Deadline: ASAP / before access expires tomorrowDeveloper account email: available on requestUse case:We are launching GW Race Control, an application for race organisers.

Hi Strava team,I'm building a personal coaching tool and want to make sure I'm reading the 2026 API terms correctly before relying on them. I'd really appreciate an official clarification on one specific, narrow use case.The setup: a single athlete authorizes their coach to review the athlete's own Strava data on the athlete's behalf (via the athlete's own OAuth authorization). The coach stores that data and uses their own AI tools to analyze it, solely to give that athlete coaching feedback.To be clear about what this is not: the data is never sold, never aggregated with other athletes, never exposed to any other user, and never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any model. It's one athlete's own data, used to coach that one athlete.Where I'm stuck: reading the current API Policy, several clauses appear to prohibit this even in the single-athlete case — Section 5.3 (no use of Strava Data "in connection with the operation of any AI Application," including ingestion into a context win

How can I request for an increase in rate limit?

Do refresh token and revoke requests count towards x-readratelimit-limit?

When Strava post to my webhook endpoint, I’m getting the following error: `strava_webhook.invalid_signature`.I tried to fix it creating a new subscription to the webhooks, but it keeps failing. I found another post telling something about the Shared signing secret, but not sure if that issue is still happening and if is the same reason to get the invalid signature message. Does anyone have any clue about this issue? Thanks!

Hello Strava developer community,I am requesting an athlete capacity increase for my application DDPEAKS (Client ID: 111268), currently on Standard Tier (10 athletes, 6 connected).**About the app**DDPEAKS is an AI-powered cycling training platform offering features complementary to Strava — not available on the Strava platform itself:- Automated FTP estimation from power streams- Performance Management Chart (CTL / ATL / TSB) with daily readiness scoring- AI Coach (Azure OpenAI GPT-4o) generating periodised training plans- Adaptive training calendar (BASE / BUILD / PEAK / TAPER)The app reads Strava activity data for the authenticated user only. It never writes to Strava, never exposes data to other users.**Compliance**- OAuth CSRF validation (SHA-256 nonce, 15-min expiry)- Strava deauthorize called on disconnect and account deletion- All imported activities deleted on disconnect (webhook delete handled within seconds)- Webhook events trigger single-activity upsert — no bulk resyncs- AE

Hi all,I'm building a cycling coaching app — direct integration, everything on our own servers. All the training analysis is produced by a deterministic engine (TSS, CTL/ATL/TSB, power/HR zones); no AI model produces the analysis, and we never train, fine-tune, or build embeddings on Strava data.My question is specifically about Section 5.3 (AI).To phrase the coaching reply in natural language for that same athlete, one option is to pass only the derived metrics our engine already computed (e.g., "TSS 65, IF 0.82, zone 3") — never raw Strava data — to an LLM (OpenAI, under no-training / DPA terms), strictly at inference time, only to turn our numbers into a human-sounding message.Section 5.3 is worded broadly ("operation of any AI Application... any data derived from... ingestion into a context window").1) Does this prohibit inference-only use of derived metrics, or is it aimed at training / RAG / embeddings?2) If it does prohibit it, would an approach where the LLM only ever receives

I'm a Standard Tier developer who made API requests in earlier this year and should qualify for the 3-month free subscription code per the June 1 developer program update according to this source: https://communityhub.strava.com/insider-journal-9/an-update-to-our-developer-program-13428 However, I haven't received the email.How can I receive a code or confirm my eligibility?

Hi Strava team and community,I'm following up on developer ticket #16076, where I was told that rate-limit and athlete-capacity requests are no longer handled via email and to post here instead.App: Endure.LabbS (Client ID 188936) — an endurance coaching platform.Use case: We sync athletes' activities between Strava and Intervals.icu so a coached athlete's training shows up consistently in both. Strava also serves as a fallback for athletes who don't own a GPS watch — they can record sessions from the Strava mobile app, which then flow into our coaching workflow.What we're requesting: an increase to our app's athlete capacity (currently capped, which blocks onboarding beyond a single athlete) and, if possible, a rate-limit increase to support multiple athletes syncing throughout the day.We fully comply with the API Agreement — we never display or redistribute Strava data publicly, never use it to train models, and never expose tokens or secrets. Happy to provide any details (volume est

Bonjour,Depuis la mise à jour de 2025–2026, la position d’un athlète dans le classement d’un segment n’apparaît plus dans la vue “Segments” d’une activité.Cette information était essentielle : elle permettait de voir immédiatement où se situe un athlète dans le leaderboard, sans devoir ouvrir la page du segment et chercher manuellement.En tant qu’abonné, je considère que cette suppression dégrade l’expérience et retire une fonctionnalité utile et intuitive.Je demande le rétablissement de l’affichage des positions (celle de l’athlète et la mienne) dans la vue segment d’une activité, comme avant.Merci de prendre en compte cette demande largement partagée par la communauté.
