Developers & API

I would like to request user extension in my strava app. How should I proceed?

Updated on Nov. 20 We wanted to provide some additional context around the changes to our API Agreement and the impact for our users and developers. We currently anticipate these changes will impact less than .1% of applications and proactively notified the majority of those affected last week. Enhanced Privacy and User ControlPrivacy and user control are at the forefront of our platform. As a result, we are committed to evolving our API practices as regulatory requirements and user expectations shift. This includes  the decision to limit the ability of a user’s data to be displayed by third-party apps in ways the user may not expect. Specifically, we want to thoughtfully address situations where users connect to a third-party app and are unaware that their data is being surfaced not just for their own use and visibility, but also to other users (for example, in a public feed or heatmap). The latest API changes address thi

After successful authorization, the next day the user can not send data to strava synchronizationFind out the reason for this is Token expirationEach time the Access Token expires, use the Refresh Token to send a request to Strava's authorization server.Now it is this step that fails, check the documentation parameter fields and values are the same. How to solve this issue.

I have written a javascript command with the help of Chat GPT3 (I am not a developer) but would love some community assistance here! I'm looking to import activity data from Strava into an Equals spreadsheet.  Can someone help me understand what I need to do to fix this? Any support is very appreciated! Here's what I have:   const equals = require("equals"); const axios = require("axios"); const STRAVA_ACCESS_TOKEN = equals.getSecret("strava_api_key"); const STRAVA_ATHLETE_ID = equals.getSecret("strava_athlete_id"); const TABLE_NAME = "Activities"; const postData = async () => { const resp = await axios({ method: "post", url: `https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athletes/${STRAVA_ATHLETE_ID}/activities`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${STRAVA_ACCESS_TOKEN}` } }); return resp.data; }; const data = await postData(); equals.addHeaders(["Name", "Sport Type", "Elapse

Can I forfeit a KOM?  On my ride today, I know without a doubt I didn't do the segment in 2 seconds with a speed of 108 mph on my MTB haha, and I'm chalking it up to a recording glitch. I don't want to take the KOM from the rightful KOM and wondering if there is a way I can forfeit the KOM.  Thanks

My spot on the leader board isnt showing. Weird glitch. See pics. How do I fix it? 

Hi,The JSON format I get out of the API when I extract multiple Activities is not following JSON standards as it seems. I am not an expert not a dev. But if I pretty print it and save the output, and load it for further analysis, it says the file format is not valid.I've tried to debut it and indeed I get “multiple JSON root elements”.Any idea? :)Thx for your help!

Hello,My App seems to be blocked since a few days. I always get a 403 error by CloudFront when trying to reach http://www.strava.com from my web host. I absolutely do not abuse daily requests limits. But I’m hosted on a shared hosting (OVH.com), that’s probably the reason the IP address was blocked. Is it possible to do something ? Thanksclient_id: 31111remote IP: 213.186.33.2

Hello,Since some days my API requests are blocked, I get the following 403 error when trying to get a refresh token. My app was working before and nothing changed in my code since the issue started (+/- 1 week ago).Thanks 

Is there a way to use the API to determine when a runner has reached a certain mile number (5 miles, 10 miles, etc) of a run in real time? 

Hey All, I’ve created a custom GPT that interrogates my Strava profile so I can ask lots of things. It’s working well but it does not pull info from the Description field in the Json string. Any ideas why not? "description": "Comprehensive ride description after recent update.",   This just seems to contain placeholder text despite there being a comprehensive write up. Cheers Matt

Hallo,I have following issue:I have my activity in FIT format. There is NO GPS data in my activity just:Distance Speed AltitudeIf I try to upload this FIT using standard WEB (+) button everything looks OK, altitude (gathered from barometer) and elevation gained is displayed as expected.But if I try the same file using API /uploads POST then there is NO Altitude data displayed for exactly the same activity.Am I doing something wrong during API upload?FIT used is attached.Thank you very much for pointing me to right direction.

Is there an available api endpoint to create and/or edit a group event?  I looked at the api reference page but didn’t see anything.

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
