API: SummarySegment documentation

The documentation for SummarySeĝment states that activity_type can be either Run or Ride. But the actual return value can also be other activity types, so it probably would have to be an instance of ActivityType.

Unable to post activities

Overnight we've seen 100% failure of the /api/v3/uploads endpoint. A post to that route returns the following raw HTML. However, the Strava status page says things are 100% operational?

Substituting ClubAthlete and ClubActivity by SummaryAthlete and SummaryActivity

After working for some time with the API, I'm wondering if this is something feasible. The SummaryXXX model looks not only more complete but usable (as they both include identifiers).In case this is not possible, or causes some sort of breaking change, it would be nice to have info, such as identifiers, gear used, activity stats, etc. on the ClubXXX models.Thanks in advance.

location_city and location_state as null

Hello.I noticed this evening, when downloading my data using Strava API (through Postman), that the location_city and location_state parameters are set to 'null'.As I have given my token full access, I get also the detailled info for the segments, and there, the city and state parameters are set properlyI am fairly certain that it was not the case before, so I' m wondering if something has changed.Thank you.

Webhooks security

According to the current Webhooks Events API documentation, only the client authenticates to Strava upon subscription registration/check, with the API client_id and client_secret.This is great but IMO insufficent, as both parties should somehow be authenticated. In other words, Strava should authenticate with the Webhook suscriptor. The way is done at the moment, an attacker could impersonate Strava's API sending fake event data to the client's endpoint. The only way the client could defend from this would be checking whether if the subscription ID matches or not. But this is neither proposed as a security measure in the documentation site, or implicit within the process (it's something that the clients would need to implement ad-hoc). Moreover, since the subscription_id field is integer, it could be pretty easy for an attacker to guess the right value.Is there any other way of dealing with this that you could suggest?Thanks in advance.

Why does not live downhill segments work?

I wonder why any segments with the slightest negative grade does not work on live segments? I understand steep segments for safety, but I like to bike several segments that are quite long but with 0-5% negative grade. They are a bit up and down, but no steep or dangerous parts. None of these work with live segments because of the descent, but I can't understand why. I believe it used to work a while ago.

Club activities limited to the last 200, and no dates or activity IDs

I am on the committe of a running club and we wanted to use the API to track our athletes and give recognition, awards etc.  However, the API /clubs/{id}/activities returns a maximum of 200 activities for me - can this be changed?In addition, the activities have no date or activity ID, which meens I can't analyse (for example, most runs or highest distance in a period).I have the rights to see this detail - it's visible in the app or website - how can I get it through the API?ThanksPeter

Time displayed in my uploaded activities is the upload time and not the start time of the activity

This activity was started at 10:12 and ended at 10:18 and the result was uploaded at 10:22 via API to Strava. How can I achieve that 10:12 is displayed on the Strava-Website instead of 10:22? start_date and start_date_local are set.

using api, can get stats but not activities

Trying to set up a web page for my sister-in-law, using my own python code and web page as a template.I can get her stats ok, but I get a 401 error returned when I try to get her activities. At the bottom of this message is what I get returned when I try to get her last five activities (I have replaced the Bearer code with **bleep**).I have her client_id, client_secret, refresh_token, access_token, athelete_id, grant_type, (authorization code) and the corrected paths for her stats file, auth file and activities file in a .env file and have double, triple and quadruple checked them for accuracy- what am I missing?I don't understand why stats works, but activities doesn't. My own running web page is here-https://vk7krj.com/running.htmlThe stripped-down version with just the strava bits for Sue is here-https://vk7krj.com/Sues%20running.htmlHer activities are currently showing some old ones of mine as placeholders.. Any help/ideas greatly appreciated.Ken.*************************

How to Associate a Strava Activity to Device Record

In my app, athletes can connect their Strava, Garmin Connect and COROS accounts to, among other things, capture completed activities. So if they've connected both Strava and, say, Garmin, then when they complete workouts, we'll receive activity records from both accounts. Problem is we only want the workout to appear once in their calendars, and to accomplish this, I've used date/time and other logic to try to detect duplicates. But that isn't foolproof since start time, distance and completion time can all be different for the same workout.Is there anything available in the Activity record that would definitively say which device activity record it's associated with, or is there a more robust way to associate the two records? I see there's an external_id field, but sometimes it references a ping record, sometimes it references a FIT file, and sometimes it's empty. It used to contain the Garmin activity ID which directly referenced the ID in Garmin's record, and that was perfect, but i

Web Application

Hi, I have been working on a simple web application to track running performance. Currently I am using the MySQL database. I have a form taking in Time of run as a string. I was running into issues trying to store the run time as a time via MySQL. I joined Strava hoping I could inspect the HTML with hopes of helping me with my issue.First, I observed that information is being stored as JSON objects. I also observed that the inputs of the form we're taking in the time for a run as a number. I was hoping to engage in a conversation with a developer to assist me as I try to solve my issue and continue building my application. My questions are can I accomplish my goal with MySQL as my database or will I need to convert to a NoSQL database? Does my information need to be input as a JSON object? What steps should I take to accomplish storing "duration" of a run in my Web Application?

How to get all segments from a Route in the API?

Hello all,  In our cotacol (Belgian) app, we are leveraging Strava Segments so our members can "collect" different hills in Belgium.  Those hills match one:one with a Strava Segment.  Now, I am building a functionality, so that users can select one of their Routes and get to see which of the 1000 segments that would be conquored with that Route... However, just like the default behavior with an activity, it seems not all the routes are returned in the response for a Strava Route.  And I am wondering if there is a similar query string parameter we can use, to indicate we need all segments in the response.  (just like include_all_efforts with the GetActivity operation). What I am doing now:  - GET /routes/{routeId} This only returns a subset of the segments in the payload.

So every minute we are sending request to Strava but we are experiencing "Rate Limit Exceed " issues now. Strava suggests making a change to web hook events API, which is fine by me, but where do I find capable resources to that code change?

API Get Call not working

Hi folks,I need help with something that should be straightforward. I want to execute the Get API Call List Club Activities (getClubActivitiesById) [https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-Clubs-getClubActivitiesById]. I meet the pre-requisite of being a member of the club I want to extract data from.Via Postman I execute the following actions:1.  Get Action: https://www.strava.com/api/v3/clubs/**bleep**/activities?page=&per_page=2. In the Headers Section I define the Key field as "Authorization" and specify its value with "Bearer 'YourAccessToken'"3. The response I get is the following:{ "message": "Bad Request", "errors": [ { "resource": "Application", "field": "page", "code": "invalid" } ] }What is weird is that the API call does get picked up as an API call on the API Usage report in the My Application API section.

Help getting activities after token refresh

Hello Everyone,To preface this, i am very new to working with APIs so have been trying to follow multiple tutorials...Im sure this topic has been discussed before, but i cannot find my situation and am hoping someone can help me...So...I have followed the instructions on authorization Iincluding using the correct read_all in the scope that trips a lot of people up.I am able to exchange the code for an access token, and the retrieve all of my activities - no problems - Great stuff!I save the token to a json file, opening and checking the expiry each time i make a new call.The problem arises 6 hours later - i need to use the refresh token to get a new access token - which i (seemingly) do without issue, i make the request and recieve back the new access token (and update my saved json file)- but i can no longer retrieve all of my activites.Am i doing something wrong? do i need to include something when requesting my new access token?

Hello everyone. I'm having an issue with retrieving user data.I decided to create an API that would fetch data from my friends and push a weekly leaderboard to our Telegram channel, showing who ran the most.So, let me describe the process of creating the application.1) I registered the application on Strava and obtained all the necessary data to work with their API.2) I created an Express application and connected it to the Firebase database.3) Through a Telegram bot, I asked my friend for permission to access their personal information. I used him to test the application architecture. I sent him the following link: https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=${clientID}&redirect_uri=${redirectURI}&response_type=code&scope=read_all. Please note that the scope field includes the read_all parameter.4) My friend clicked the link and granted permission to share their information with me.

Update Activity RPE via API?

Hi everyone!  I am somewhat familiar with Strava's API both directly via HTTP and with the Python Stravalib library through my visualization app Heatflask (https://www.heatflask.com) (Client ID 12700) which I has been running since 2016.   However I have another thing I am trying to do on my own.  I have a lot of old activities that I imported from SportTracks dating from 2009 - 2014, very few of which have heart-rate data.  I would like to retroactively update RPE (https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032535512-Perceived-Exertion) for these activities by comparing with similar more recent efforts.   I can manually change that value one activity at a time on Strava website, which is really slow.  Is there any way I can do it via API? I do not see RPE as a parameter for Activity update (https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-UpdatableActivity).   In fact, the only info I have seen about RPE for Strava's API was th

Webhook requirement for mobile apps?

On the getting started guide in the section F. Why do I need webhooks? it states: "Per our API terms, you need to implement webhooks to know when an athlete has deauthorized your API application" What about mobile only applications? We're building a mobile only app and have no intention of managing a backend server because our app does not require one to function. So are mobile apps exempt from this, or is there a special way to handle this case?
