Strava indicated that when they were taking over the Fatmap platform that all features of Fatmap would be available on Strava.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to mark a single waypoint as I could in Fatmaps.  I have to create a route in order to create ANY waypoints.  For example I would like to mark a potential trail head.  That is it.  I don't want a route.  I could do that on Fatmap.  I cannot on Strava.  This is a simple function that in my opinion would make Strava much more appealing and user friendly.  Is there a way to do this or is this something being incorporated in the near future>

Suite au problème rencontré sur la page Strava de notre club, vous nous avez répondu (message ci-dessous) que vous aviez supprimé la possibilité de mettre des liens. Que proposez-vous comme solution ?Communauté Strava -Récemment, notre équipe a été confrontée à une campagne soutenue de contenu inauthentique publié sur la plate-forme et, par conséquent, nous avons pris certaines mesures nécessaires pour protéger la communauté. L’une des nombreuses mesures que nous avons prises consiste à filtrer les liens sur plusieurs surfaces d’applications. Cela était nécessaire pour protéger la communauté contre les contenus préjudiciables et violants. Nous reconnaissons que cela a eu un impact sur beaucoup d’entre vous. Nous sommes également conscients que des non-liens ont été inclus par inadvertance dans ce filtrage et nous nous excusons pour les perturbations que cela a causées.La sécurité des communautés est notre priorité abs

Having trouble setting up Glance on my Android Lock Screen. Need help Any tips or step-by-step guides?

Hiya,Im building a rewards app on top of Strava, whereby if people complete exercises and commutes they will earn real rewards. However the upload manually feature means people can cheat and earn rewards by scripting creation of a GPX file say.At the moment i think the way to detect this is through the device_name field in the DetailedActivity. However that field is just a String rather than an Enum. Is it possible to know what values it might take? Is that the only way to know that the user uploaded a GPX file themselves? as its not 100% protection imho.many thanks

I am a researcher who would like to do research, analysing naturalistic data in Strava communities only through online observations and participation in the community as a community Strava member.We will disclose to the community members the presence and the academic background of the researchers involving in these communities, also the aim of the research and the methods that are used for data collection. We will pseudonymise the names (assign unique identification numbers that will be used throughout the data analysis process and reporting) of all online communities, all participants and any quotations/quantitative data that might raise harm to them.Please let me know how to get permission for such data collection and analysis with managers/Strava staff.Many thanks

So I lately I have been hearing lot about Glance and it's features and how cool is this Glance thing is but to be honest I think this is overhyped and overrated thing do any of you guys use this give me your honest review for and let me if it's worth to have Glance on your phone

Heya,We are an app that rewards people to record their commutes with Strava. In our app we ask the user where are they going to, and then check if they made it there.Often people then hide their activity start and end points, and are app cannot determine if they really finished their commute where they told usIs there a way to get the activity polyline without the hidden start and end points?thanks 

According to the API docs, an app can only fetch information about the logged in athlete. It'd would be nice if there could be a way of reading the following athletes' activities. The same way, having a proper getClubActivitiesById would be helpful too (right now this method returns incomplete information, which can't be used to identify neither athletes or single activities, as there are no identifiers).Right now, one can get this information both through Strava's mobile app, and web app, either through the user feed, or just going to the followed athletes one by one and looking at their latest activities. It would be nice if this could be replicated through the API (something like getAthleteActivitiesById, or returning SummaryActivity through getClubActivitiesById

Hello, our app is using your API. Recently, some users have encountered an error 403 issue where they are unable to upload their exercise data to your platform. I went to your website: https://www.strava.com/settings/api Found no option to increase the limit. Should I increase the limit to solve this problem? How should I increase the limit? My current limit is 999

My app was down for several months (because free running challenge for my staff union only held in 2 weeks very 6 months).Recently I bring up my app server, make little changes, and create test activities, but those new activities does not automatically push to my app.Those test activities are successfully fetch manually, but not via webhook.I added log to my app to see webhook is triggered, but there is no log at all.I use Postman application to retrieve Subscription, it's fine. However, I can not delete that subscription. If I tried to subscribe new webhook subscription (using Postman), I receive a webpage with something like below:<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Strava is temporarily unavailable</title> <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'> <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1' /> <meta name='robots' content='noindex' />

Few days ago we encountered weird problem: there is no more "duplicate of activity..." message from server, even when sending the same activity multiple times. I've found this post at forum, which is pretty similar, but we have this problem on different accounts, where it was working before. Were there any changes in API? If not, what could be the problem?

Hi All, I am looking for the list of domains that the application uses (e.g., api.strava.com, etc...) or a list of IP addresses for the application. I need it in order to detect the traffic originated from Mobile users to Strava and allow this traffic while stopping all the other. Many thanks for your help. 

I am a Huawei smartphone user and I would love to be able to use Strava on my phone. I know that Strava is not currently available on the Huawei App Gallery, but I think it would be a great addition. There are many Huawei users who are active athletes and they would benefit from being able to use Strava to track their workouts and connect with other athletes. I hope that Strava will consider developing a version for Huawei smartphones (AppGallery) store.

i tried to get club member activities. To get information of someone, i passed authorization url to someone.But when they try to access that page, page showed 403 error(limit access)how can i solve this.

I'm really interested in developing an app that gives a much richer experience to manage routes. I want to be able to group all my routes by different types/locations/favourites etc and then easily Star groups that I want to Sync to a Wahoo GPS unit. By starring or unstarring a group in the app I would want to be able to star/unstar those routes on Strava through the API. If the wahoo is then setup to only sync public started routes it will just xfer what I want for that ride.Looking at the API documents it doesn't look like you can star/unstar a route but just wondering if I have missed something.It's a real pain when you have a large library of routes and you only want a few synced to the device at any one time!Thanks

Hey Guys,Can anyone please guide on how long does it take for the app submission review? I did receive an email from Strava saying that they have received my submission for Stravas Developer program but not after that. Thanks Prashant 

I receive this response when trying to access the activities endpoint for v3.  I'm able to use the athlete endpoint and get information.  I used the activity:read_all scope when authorizing my own account.{"message": "Authorization Error","errors": [{"resource": "AccessToken","field": "activity:read_permission","code": "missing"}]}

Hi,I was looking in the documentation, but I couldn't find any info about events for when an user revokes access for an app.Is there any communication about this event?Thank you,Simone

 I use Amazfit and only the data is loaded, the map does not appear, is there any solution?

Is there any way to get the last uploaded photos of an athlete?Like the native strava app is doing when you visit an athlete profile.Currently, the only way of doing this is to loop over the last activities of an athlete and call the /activity/{activity_id}/photos?size=2048 endpoint.But of course it is long and will raise a 429 Too many requests.Something like /athlete/photos or something would be nice but it does not seem to exist

I have an app running with about 400 daily users. I have done a lot of updates to it and want to test them before deployment, obviously. How can I run a test where I have 10 users (I will personally organise the 10 to actually do this) go and connect to the testing version of the new deployment so I can test it before deploying it?
