Developers & API

Hello Strava Support, Today I recorded a cycling ride, but during the ride I paused the activity for a break. After that, I forgot to resume it and continued cycling for around 8–10 km. Later, when I stopped to drink water, I noticed the activity was still paused, so I resumed it and completed the rest of my ride. Because of this, the activity showed a strange straight line / incorrect section. While trying to fix it, I accidentally used the crop tool and removed the wrong part of the ride. Now only the cropped section is showing in my activity, and most of my actual ride is missing. The original ride was around 65–66 km. Could you please help me restore the original activity before it was cropped? Thank you.

At the time of setting up my api application, I added 1 in Number of athletes allowed to connect and Number of athletes currently connected. How can I change this. As I am trying to use the app its giving me error - Error 401: Limit of connected athletes exceeded.

It would be really useful to be able to set the privacy of an activity via the API - is this something that could be added to UpdateableActivity?

When I try to create a new route on my PC, once I click ‘Create Route’, all I can see is the Heat Map, there is no underlying map below it. i.e. if I de-select the Heat Map the work area to create a route is blank. I don’t have this problem with my phone using the APP.If I bring up an existing saved route, the underlying map is visible, however if I click ‘edit’ I can see the route that has been created on top of the heat map but no underlying map.I am using Windows 11 and normally use Google Chrome but have also tried Microsoft EdgeI see others appear to be having recent problems with saving routes but I can’t can’t get that far.Any thoughts on why I have this issue would be greatly appreciated 

Is there a new & current existing problem with streaks not updating?  I've been stuck on a 19-day streak for multiple days now.  Strava AI doesn't update the streak even though I do multiple activities a day and all are uploaded.  I logged out of the app and shut down and restarted my iPhone and it updated an activity the same day afterwards to a 20-day streak but the next day I was back down to a 19-day streak.

Hi,We(Motorola) have launched a new smartwatch in the market recently. Our developer team has created client ID, submitted form and have done all requirements. Team has hit a roadblock now as we need to expand the integration to multiple customers/users. Please let us know if we can get in touch with anyone to solve this. 

Is anyone else experiencing their maps jumping back towards their original position when dragging them in the Android app? Mine started doing this a couple months ago and it's really annoying.

I have a Motorola G24 phone, & it has never run Strava reliably. Unless I keep the screen activated, the GPS data stops, resulting in straight lines on the final log.I have disabled every battery saver / background activity restriction function I can find.It appears to me that Strava is running but the GPS stops. As the GPS isn't an app, I can't find any options that might prevent it from running.Looking like I'll just have to buy another new phone...

Today, 30 minutes into a 50K ride I found that my Beacon connection had been cancelled and I had to restart the ride as it had stopped recording too. My Wife relies on my Beacon connection to see where I am and she was concerned that I’d had some sort of accident.I was unable to log in from the App again without gaining access from a code sent to my home Email account which I can’t easilly access from my phone. After this I could start another ride but despite sending the Beacon SMS to my wife several times it didnt show any progress and appeared to be waiting for me to move. I had started the ride as usual through the Strava App in my iPhone and have had no problems in all the years I’ve been using it. I did wonder if this was some sort of hack occuring as Ive had no notification of any impending changes to logging in and I should also add that a friend has had a similar experience.

Ran my second half marathon and forgot to start my Strava until I was about a half mile in, is there any way to input my time from an official website?

Dear all,I was hoping to learn how we can upload club events per month via the API.Am I right, that this feature is not available for now?If it is, where can we find the documentation; if not, is there any planned update of this feature?BestSascha 

How to change the language on Strava (iPhone)First you and will have to add a new language to your iPhone. (This is necessary first to be able to change the language on Strava from one language to another).navigate to Settings > General > Language & Region > Add LanguageAdd english (or what you prefer)When you have done this, you can change the language on Strava.navigate to Settings > StravaNow you will have the option «Preferred language» in the bottom of the settings. Then you can change to english, or the language you have added on your phone.Hope this helps!I also hope Strava will add the option to change the language directly in the app…

Hello everyone, I’m trying to upload or attach a photo to an activity through my own application — or alternatively link an external image, if Strava supports embedding images from external sources.The goal is to achieve something similar to what Zwift or Rouvy activities display: a main workout image that visually represents the completed session.I’ve checked the public API documentation, but I haven’t found a clear description of how to upload an image directly to an existing activity (not as a user photo and not via the standard /uploads endpoint). Before I continue experimenting, I’d like to know whether Strava currently supports this for third‑party developers, and if so, which endpoint or workflow should be used.Any guidance, examples, or official references would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! I set my web app up, with only one user. Read online found out had to submit documentation. I just did that. Was just wondering if there’s still support available for things like this bc no one has posted anything here for 2 years 😅 here’s hoping 

Anyone else got an issue where their age has changed automatically..? It’s not letting me correct it on both the mobile and web app. Contacted support and was expecting prompt reply being a subscriber. HR will not display until it’s fixed. 

Hey fellow Strava enthusiasts! I've been an avid user of Strava for quite some time now, and I must say, it's an incredible platform for tracking and sharing my athletic endeavors. Recently, I've been exploring the capabilities of the Strava API and wondering if it's currently possible to upload media files, such as images or videos, to an activity using its ID. I haven't been able to find any specific information or documentation regarding this capability in the Strava API. I was wondering maybe it's possible even if it's not documented as its the case for getting pictures of an activity [https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/{id}/photos?size=X]. That's why I'm turning to the Strava community and API developers for insights. If any of you have experience with the Strava API or know whether it's currently possible to upload media files to activities using their I

you should put the function that you can move an indicator on the status graphic and you can see that exact point on the map, while moving the point of interest in the stats graphic, you see the exact point in which you had those stats

I use the Strava app on my apple watch ultra. Has worked fine in the past. On recent regular outdoor runs, the app suddenly activates the lap function mid run. If I want an open run for the duration, how do I stop the app from suddenly engaging a lap at random times. it also usually only lasts a few minutes but when the run is over, I have multiple laps recorded but didn’t intend on this.

Hello Strava Developer Support,I hope you're doing well.I would like to follow up on my previous request regarding additional access for my application:Client ID: 217342 App Name: BabyrunSpecifically, I would like to request an extension to the number of allowed users. I have already submitted this request through the official form, but I haven’t received any updates yet.Could you please check on the status of my request or let me know if any additional information is needed from my end?Thank you for your time and support.Best regards,Jaypennson Amang

Bonjour, Est-ce possible d’extraire un *.gpx de strava pour pouvoir le charger sur un autre appareil?Sur mon VTTAE j’ai un KIOX de chez Bosch et j’aimerais pouvoir suivre des itinéraires strava depuis mon écran et non depuis l’app Strava.Merci 

Hello i’m not a Dev, I’m just a user iwas wondering how the personal records work in a run. My doubt is that for example if i run a 16km run where the first 3 km are warm up, then 10 km i push the hardest, then 3 km cool down. If the first 10km (3km warm up + 7km of the pushing part) of the run are already my PR on strava will it register as that? or is it smart and will consider the 10km fastest of the run

Strava is often auto-flagging my road bike rides in last few months. They suspect it was a e-bike ride. Even though I’ve ridden those courses many time in the past, even faster. If they would consider my efforts in the past, on the same or other courses, they would see that all flagged rides are just a normal road bike efforts for my standards. I requested support review already several times, but no answer.What to do? Can some Strava admin help me here?
