I'm calling athletes/{id}/routes in swagger and receiving a 403 error. I have successfully authorized myself with read_all permissions. FWIW, everything I try in swagger returns a 403.

I'm having difficulty erasing my location information from the profile -> location. Despite attempting to set it as blank, it keeps reverting to the previously entered location.

Hi there,When sending a .gpx file through https://www.strava.com/api/v3/uploads route, my moving time is identical as the elapsed time. In the .gpx file, there are clearly timestamps that have power, cadence and other data as 0, where I literally stopped cycling. In the graphs, I see that power data is correct for that period, but still moving time is equal to elapsed time. Is there something I'm missing in the Upload API? Will happily provide gpx files if needed.Best regards,Marijo

I'm super curious how developers are bootstrapping their data.When starting a new app, I want to bootstrap my database with my personal history. So rather than simply leveraging webhooks, I want to first read in past events. This is impossible with the current rate limits. What do most people do to solve this problem?Thanks!

I developed a web aplications where i can check the distance and deliver the medals to the riders who complete the distance but yesterday the client_id is not allowed to get the data from the post consult in the api, can you help me to know if is posible use the api to this objetive? thanks very much

Howdy folks! I have an issue I simply cannot figure out. I am trying to stream data from an activity. I am using postman to test my queries. As we can see, the activity is real and works. The key has read all and read permissions for activities via scope=read,read_all,activity:read_all,activity:read,profile:read_allHowever, the stream query is not working. Any insights would be super appreciated.

I was interested to see the new feature Custom Waypoints on Strava Routes! I'm wondering how an app using the Strava REST API can query for the custom waypoints.What I tried:A request to https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/routes didn't show the custom waypoints I addedFrom https://www.strava.com/api/v3/routes/3153006196918182754 I don't see the custom waypoints eitherI was hoping I could use the custom waypoints to remind myself with things like "double check if this road should be marked private in openstreetmap." (That's the main

Hello, we are using STRAVA's api and in need to get the data of the user (even the data he had before authorizing our app). Is it possible or do you only allow us to get the data of the user that has been synced or uploaded to Strava after him/her authorizing our app?Thanks.

Is it possible to check GPS distance from List Athlete Activities (getLoggedInAthleteActivities) API?

I think API write access for Activity privacy settings would be a useful addition to Strava because this would allow users to configure third-party apps to manage their Activity privacy settings with greater granularity than Strava offers through its current UI. I would like to be able to set both Activity visibility as well as Activity map visibility via API. Ideally, Strava would also provide the ability to configure these defaults in-app. However, in lieu of more granular control over privacy defaults within the app itself, this would be a significant improvement to Strava's privacy features and one that would have a significant positive impact on user Trust & Safety. For example, it would allow a user to programmatically hide the entire map for their commutes, walks, or runs—which may tend to occur in more predictable zones a

Is it in any way possible to get more API requests for an application?My application only has 1000 requests pr day with a limit of 100 pr 15 minutes.

I found this conversation here where a man named John said that he was able to bypass the limitations of the getClubActivitiesById endpoint by having people authenticate his app, allowing him full access to their activity details at the level they authorize. Is there any validity to this, or do you guys have any ideas as to what this would look like? I don't think that them authenticating your app would give you more access to their activities through the getClubActivitiesById endpoint, given there's a response data limitation there to such few fields. Theoretically, how would I get the extra details? Would I have to use the "List Athlete Activities" endpoint, but that endpoint doesn't have any extra parameters for the request URL? In an attempt to do this myself, I sent them a link like this: https://www.strava.com/oauth/autho

I couldn't figure out how to authenticate my account to change the scope of my api project does anyone know what im doing wrong. I started from using this https://developers.strava.com/docs/getting-started/ and then went to this url http://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=[REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLIENT_ID]&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost/exchange_token&approval_prompt=force&scope=readbut obviously with my client id and it sent me here which is not what's supposed to work.I was just wondering if anyone kno

Hi!First of all, congratulations on all the great work you are doing; it's amazing! We are delighted to be integrated with Strava, as it greatly enhances our user experience.We are managing well with the rate limits, but the one that concerns us the most is the Athletes Capacity. Currently, we already overcome 50% of our maximum capacity, and we are still in the Beta phase. This makes us a bit anxious because we don't want to provide a poor user experience for our athletes when we reach that limit.I apologize if this isn't the appropriate channel for addressing this "issue", please tell if we should follow any other path.Best regards, 

Does anyone have insight into why my request might be failing? My access_token is indeed expired

Hi there.Since this morning I have been getting Error 500 from my calls to get the club activities. It has been running smoothly for the past 22 days but suddenly today I am facing issues without any changes to programming, code or how it is used. I have checked all the access codes etc and they are all correct.This is the most important few days for the project which finishes on Christmas day, so I really need to find a fix for whatever has happened

Can you please update the clubs documentation at https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-Clubs. The data returned does not match the docs and there is some limit to the pagination effecting the number of activities that can be returned. Many users ran into both these issues and posted on the old Google groups.Hopefully when you document these it will become clear this endpoint needs to be improved as it's currently of very limited use.

I subscribed to Premium mostly for the extra features. But I find them not very user friendly.  I've searching on how to display my Fitness & Freshness score somehow easily, so I can be reminded about it on a daily basis.Since is no available via API, would anyone here know where I can find an alternative?Thanks

Hello guys. We want to connect our swimming app to the Strava API.Everything is working well, except Webhook Events API. According to the documentation https://developers.strava.com/docs/webhooks/, we need to Create a subscription.On this step when we make the request:$ curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/api/v3/push_subscriptions -F client_id=XXXXXX -F client_secret=XXXXXX -F callback_url=

Hello,Do you provide any means to authenticate a Strava call on our webhook endpoint? Like an authentification header that we can configure as we want.Or perhaps you can provide me the IP adresses of your servers so that I can securize my endpoint through IP filtering?Thanks

Hello,in the first line of the following link https://developers.strava.com/docs/partner/strava-live-segments/ it is mentioned that:"Strava Live Segments is an API that allows users to compare their real time effort with Strava segment efforts on their device. To inquire about Strava Live Segments licensing, contact developers -at- strava.com with the subject line “Strava Live Segments Request” and include your API App ID."I did send an email requesting access to the Live segments API only to get an automtic reply redirecting me to this forum. Can someone help me understand what i have to do to get access to the live segments API?I understand that this is more of a private API using a diffetent endpoint (https://www.st

hello!My name is Tobias and I have an app for cyclists in which I am implementing a functionality in which users can upload activities in GPX format to their account. I am testing the api service and I am having an error that I cannot remove. According to all the documentation I was looking at the file I am sending is correct but the api tells me that it is not correct. I’m sending you the details of the tests I’m doing to see if you can help me figure this out. I appreciate your help.Have a good evening. The call is:curl --location 'https://www.strava.com/api/v3/uploads' --header 'Authorization: Bearer ....' --form 'activity_type="Ride"' --form 'name="Test Walk"' --form

As for Garmin Connect, it offers the activity detailed api for developers to access the everysec detailed in a certain activity as a json. I wander whether Strava v3 API offer the same, because I cannot find this information in API Docs. The Activity Detailed is as follow:"samples": [{"startTimeInSeconds": 1695538280,"bikeCadenceInRPM": 0.0,"timerDurationInSeconds": 0,"movingDurationInSeconds": 0,"heartRate": 99,"elevationInMeters": 3.200000047683716,"speedMetersPerSecond": 1.8940000534057617,"latitudeInDegree": 22.55610477179289,"clockDurationInSeconds": 0,"longitudeInDegree": 113.87656951323152,"airTemperatureCelcius": 35.0,"totalDistanceInMeters": 0.029999999329447746}, {"powerInWatts": 0.0,"longitudeInDegree": 113.87656565755606
