Problems with integrating accounts ( uploading unzipped files)

Hello all,I tried to integrate my activities into one Strava account. I followed Strava indications so I created a bulk file from my non-desired account and telecharged the files as instructed.When ready to upload the folder (files) into my desired target account files were not accepted/recognized. Strava says it accepts FIT type files but the ones created (by Strava itself) are of the type ####-fit.gz (exe: 104454534.fit.gz) which are not recognized by strava itself. Any option missed when generating these files ? Why can not be recognized by Strava ? how to upload them ?thanks for your support in advanceBR

Identifying workouts from SummaryActivity object

How would you guys recommend I try to identify runs that are workouts from the SummaryActivity object?For context: I have a group of athletes who've authenticated my app whose activities I poll to a Google Sheet via the Google App Script and I want to be able to identify their workouts.I have a few options in my head:1. Ask that my athletes mark their workouts as workouts in Strava, from which I should be able to grab the workout_type and use that (?). I still can't find any place which shows what the valid workout types are. Risk assuming this is even valid: They could forget to mark their run as a workout and then that activity gets overlooked.2. Try to use the laps data. Assumptions: All athletes will use lapping for their workouts and never use lapping for their easy runs. Womp womp.3. Try for a combination of the above two fields: workout_type and laps. From this make a decision on if it's a workout or not. If they forget to mark a workout type, check laps and see if there are fas

API scope

Im a new devloper and creating my first backend for a collage project, I would like to fetch data regarding from every user that uses my application. I have made an application to STRAVA, and gotten a read-scope, which cannot be used to fetch data from all my users. My question is if the following understanding is correct, can I access data from my users regarding their activities if they sign into my app using their Strava account through OAuth?Thank you in advance!

Stuck in Single Player Mode

I've filled out two requests to be taken out of single player mode so I can launch my group run club app. No response from either, it's been a month and a half since the first request, and 2 weeks since the last request. I emailed Strava support and they acknowledge that I'm still on a waiting list. Who else can I bother to resolve this?

Error getting access token and refresh token

I'm following this tutorial here, and the step at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgscChKfGyg&list=PLO6KswO64zVvcRyk0G0MAzh5oKMLb6rTW&index=1 doesn't work for me. Specifically, it's the step where we have a "code" read:all access and we exchange it for an an access token and a refresh token by sending a request of the formhttps://www.strava.com/oauth/token?client_id=ID&client_secret=SECRET&code=CODE&grant_type=authorization_codewhen I do this with my value of ID, SECRET, and CODE I get a page that just says "{"message":"error"}" or I get the 404 page with the red traffic light (I've tried it several times with a few variations on the scope I'm requesting).

Kinni FIT file upload issue (elevation)

Hello Team,We have incorporated the Strava FIT file upload via the Strava API (https://developers.strava.com/docs/uploads/) into our app Kinni (http://kinni.co/) for a number of years. The uploads captured the elevation gain correctly until around mid-July 2023 after which it seems to be missing. We have checked the FIT files being uploaded via the API and nothing has changed as it contains the elevation gain as per the Garmin specifications. If manually uploaded via the Strava web interface elevation gain is still missing. I have attached two examples of FIT files. Both contain elevation gain. The FIT file from Kinni uploads to Strava without the elevation again being captured. The FIT file from Garmin uploads to Strava with the elevation gain captured. We have raised this issue with Strava Support before and have not seen any process from the Strava Support Team since August 03, 2023.We would really appreciate assistance in addressing this issue as we are unable to troubleshoot the i

Count of ActivityTotal using the API

Reading the API docs, Under 'All Models' you have listed 'ActivityTotal’ with a  ‘count’ parameter https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-ActivityTotal What I am hoping to get is just total number of activities I have logged on Strava. While I know I can do this by calling https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities. The problem there is that I would have to paginate to get all the responses which in my case takes a long time. So if there is a way to just get the total number of activities in the account by a count of ActivityTotal then that would be a big help.

How to Retrieve Challenge Data within Clubs Using Strava API?

Hello Strava Developer Community,I hope this message finds you well.My name is Gustavo, and I am working on creating a dashboard for my company to track the activities of our team members. We believe that integrating challenge data from our club would significantly enhance our project by providing more comprehensive insights into our collective activities.However, I have encountered difficulties in retrieving challenge data within clubs using the current Strava API. Specifically, I haven't found a way to directly access this data.Here are a few details about what I am trying to achieve:I need to pull data on the various challenges that members of our club are participating in.This data will be used to create a detailed dashboard to track and visualize individual and group performance in these challenges.I have reviewed the existing documentation on webhooks and authentication, but haven't found a clear solution to this issue.

My application is parsing workout datapoints and I want to make it easier for the users by fetching the input files automatically from strava workouts.The export_original and export_tcx paths don't exist on api/v3/activities.

Application for running group

Hello, I made an application that allows users to see the latest activity and weekly and monthly race statistics, but I ran into the problem that when I want to log in with another device it rejects it. I think it is because of the limit that the application has, is it because of this or am I doing something wrong? Any possible solution?

API documentation bugs

Been using the API for a while now, and trying to mock it using the examples provided in the specification ran into some failures:At /athlete/activities the returned upload_id through SummaryActivity has type long. Yet, the response example uses a 987654321234567891234 value, which is higher than the max int64.There are some fields such as resource_state, max_heartrate or location_city that don't comply with the SummaryActivity definition.The components aren't sorted alphabetically, which makes navigating through the documentation site a bit difficult.

Stop Strava pushing goals, suggestions for clubs etc

Developers! This is the kind of spam I ended up having to pay for an account for so I wasn't constantly bombarded with internal ads. Now I have them to my paid for account. It's unacceptable. Can anyone advise how to turn this spam off in the app? I cannot find it. Is it possible with a REST request or similar via your API?I have no requirement for anything like this. My alternative is to turn off notifications from Strava completely.

Strava api v3 and group challenges

Wanted to create a monthly leaderboard for my run club but yall lackin . Does not return the date or no information about the time frame of activities pulled from the recent activities endpoint. I would think that it would be useful if it could atleast pull reference date set of club activities i.e. for a particular month or two weeks minimum rather than set number of days.It is a problem to even use the monthly challenges because I have to manually invite all my club members to the challenge and there is no provision for an invite link.

Move activity name lower

Can we have an option to turn off activity name display? Aesthetically, would also be nice if it's displayed lower than presently. In the example below, having the text sit above Run (can even be all caps and slightly bold would look much better.

Error 403

Hi, I'm currently in the process of building a website for a charitable organization that hosts cycling events to support various causes. Our participants pledge to ride a specific distance within a month and receive donations to aid them in achieving their targets. As a feature of our platform, we're integrating the Strava API, enabling users to link their profiles and monitor their progress towards their cycling challenges. However, I encountered an issue during testing: 'Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded. This app has exceeded the limit of connected athletes. If you are a developer of this application, please contact Strava developer support for instructions on how to request a quota increase.' I was just wonder how to request an increase in the number of athletes allowed to connect to our application. I have already submitted our application to the Strava Developer Program and have emailed the Strava developer support but have not got a r

Emergency, API fot one week usage

Hi guys.My name is Gilnei, I'm from Rio Grande do Sul (RS). e were hit by a flood here in the state.We made a quick application to raise funds and help our state. It consists of a challenge, where athletes cycle in favor of RS. Each km driven can be "Purchased" by a donor for R$10.00.The application is 100% functional. However, Strava has limited us to 6k daily requests, which is hindering people who are live cycling on a roller. Could anyone "Lend" a set of API keys to complete this challenge? Our limit opens at 9 pm, which is when the challenge has already ended.Our website is https://ajudeors.windfit.appThanks.
