Cadence numbers from Strava API

Is the average cadence from the Strava API not showing steps per minute for runs? For some reason I'm not getting the same numbers through the Strava API for cadence and the Strava app which shows cadence as steps per minute. For example in one of my runs the average cadence is 185 in the Strava app, that is 185 steps per minute. But the value I get through the API is 92.4.

Does Strava allow access to scientific researches to explore the API?

I am involved in a scientific research focused on athletes performance. For this, we need some health data of these athletes that should be captured during activities. I read Strava API documentation and noticed that it gives access to a bunch of health data. Therefore, when I was trying to register, it asked some information about our app that we don't have, because our goal is just to research and not to develop an app. Does Strava allow access to scientific researches to explore the API?

Using the StravaApp for Authentication on iOS with SwiftUI

In my iOS App I implemented the authentication flow according to the Strava Documentation.Checking if the StravaApp is installed, if yes, I'm using <UIApplication.shared.open> to redirect to the StravaApp.If the StravaApp is not installed I'm using <ASWebAuthenticationSession>Everthing works OK, except in the case when the StravaApp is used for authentication.After the user has authorised the connection to Strava inside the StravaApp, it returns to my app but the callback to my AppDelegate never happens. So I don’t get the url with the authorization code. My App uses SwiftUI. I'm injecting the AppDelegate in in my App scene:@UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegateAppDelegate implementation:class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate {    func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool { print("url returned from Strava App: (url)") return true&n

Missing `best_efforts` in DetailedActivity reponses

https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-DetailedActivity states that a `best_efforts` field should be returned. Presumably this would be a subset of the `segment_efforts` collection, but I am not seeing it returned in any queries in order to verify this assumption. What are the conditions that result in an activity returning the `best_efforts` field? Is it a subset of `segment_efforts`? Or is it something else? The docs should be updated with this information.

Return CO2 saved on /activities/{id} call

I have a personal project where I am creating activities based on rides taken on a bikeshare program. I want to be able to calculate the CO2 saved by taking this form of transportation, as I see this data in the Strava platform but it isn't returned on the /activities/id API call. It would be amazing if this could be added.

Missing docs in DetailsSegmentEffort

https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-DetailedSegmentEffortThese docs are missing information:1. On what the `achievements` property is. Clearly a collection of entities, but the entity objects are completely undocumented.2. On what the `visibility` property represents and the possible values for it.3. On what the `hazardous`, `elevation_profile`, and `starred` properties of the `segment` property represent. It's supposed to be documented by https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-SummarySegment but these properties are omitted in the docs.

Missing docs for photos

There are not any docs for accessing photos. If we get a detailed activity through `/activities/{id}` we will get back a `photos` property that indicates:1. The location of the primary photo2. The number of photos uploaded to the activityBut there is not an array of photo ids. Someone on this board discovered that you can hit `/activities/{id}/photos` to get an activities photos, but there seem to be query parameters necessary to get back different photo sizes. We can guess that `?size=5000` will work, but I bet there are better ways to get back original images than guessing.Please document the photos API.

Does anyone understand splits_metric vs splits_standard?

The docs for `DetailedActivity` claim that these fields are only for runs, but I seem them on rides as well. And what I am seeing makes no sense. I would assume the first split in each collection would be equivalent to one another, i.e. cover the same physical space on Earth. But I'm seeing a metric split like: { "distance": 1007.7, "elapsed_time": 171, "elevation_difference": 25.8, "moving_time": 170, "split": 1, "average_speed": 5.93, "average_grade_adjusted_speed": null, "average_heartrate": 138.79041916167665, "pace_zone": 0 } And the "corresponding" standard split as: { "distance": 1610.2, "elapsed_time": 249, "elevation_difference": 29.6, "moving_time": 248, "split": 1, "average_speed": 6.49, "average_grade_adjusted_speed": null, "average_heartrate": 140.66122448979593, "pace_zone": 0 } These numbers do not match up. Presumably the `elapsed_time` would be equal if the splits were covering

deleting activity automatically

I encountered a 404 while attempting to fetch an activity after getting a webhook request for creating an activity. I observe a pattern that occurs when creating an activity and it automatically deletes an activity that has a small time difference, I also observed that when 404 occurred we have a webhook for deleting activity nearby that confirms the above statement. I tried it several times, but the same issue occurred repeatedly.

How to upload an activity with heartrate or power data?

I have heartrate data from indoor cycling sessions ( no gps data ) and I want my app to be able to upload the session once it's finished to strava. I have been able to create an activity with only the average heartrate, but i have not been able to do so with accurate data for each moment to be able to view a heartrate graph. My data would is something like this but i can change the time to date: ( same for power ) [{ hrp: 50, time: 0 }, { hrp: 55, time: 10 }, ....]

Question about STRAVA API Program Submission Timing

Hey fellow Strava enthusiasts,Hope you're all doing great! I've been working on this awesome app that's going to integrate with Strava using the Strava API. I've been diving into the API documentation and it's been a blast. 🚴‍♂I've got a quick question for those of you who might have experience with this: I stumbled upon the STRAVA API PROGRAM SUBMISSION FORM, and it's got me wondering whether I should fill it out before launching my app on the Play Store or after. Here's the link to the form: https://share.hsforms.com/1VXSwPUYqSH6IxK0y51FjHwcnkd8.Also, I'm thinking, if I should fill it out after launching the app, how do you think I should handle my users during the review process? I mean, they wouldn't be able to enjoy the Strava API goodness while it's under review, right? Any insights on how to manage this without causing too much disruption would be super appreciated.I'm all ears for any advice or stories from those of you who have been through this process. Let's share our
