Api to calculate the burning calories for given activities

I’m using the Strava api’s and having the free subscription, I need to calculate the burned calories of the activity/sport I’m doing, But I didn’t find any api to fetch all the sports/activities, do anyone suggest any api where I can give the activity name/ sport name like running, swimming, HIIT etc with the time duration and in response it can provide the burned calories in the time period.

Generating API using Swagger ignores allOf when generating model objects

Hi, I'm running the command: swagger-codegen generate -i https://developers.strava.com/swagger/swagger.json -l swift5 The DetailedActivity does not contain any of the SummaryActivity as described by the allOf section in https://developers.strava.com/swagger/activity.json#/DetailedActivity. I've tried using version 3.0.41 and 2.4.30 A quick search indicated that it is a swagger bug? Am I missing something here? Thanks Antz

How to interpret detailed activity data from activity streams?

Dear Moderators and Forum Readers, We are using the Strava API since years in our product. We are utilizing the detailed activity streams as well. In the API reference the structure of the response of activity streams are described in good detail, however there is nothing said on how the data shall be interpreted (e.g. an entry in the ,,velocity_smooth'' is 1.0m/s what does it mean, is it the actual speed on a given time or an average of a longer time period?...). We see a lot of various ,,formats'' for these streams: for some users and activities, there is a data record for each second, in some cases, we have records for every few seconds. We can see also sparse formats, with only a few record for the entire activity, or even having data records for every second, except a few, large periods without any data record. This makes implementing a general solution for interpreting the data really hard. My question is, that is there any good and detailed description about how to interpret the

Acess User Followers with permission, but from other app

Hello, we are developing a Digital Social Platform dedicated to Sports Events. We would like that our users could import their Strava friends, just like Strava does with Facebook. However, it seems that Strava API doesn't support this feature. Is that true? Thanks in advance

Public Athlete Dataset

Hi, I'm looking to use the Strava API to collect a large dataset on individuals who run. Is there a way I can list (or is there some public database) of athletes whose profiles are set to public? I'd then simply call "get athlete stats". I'd like to query through this list of individuals to create a dataset.

Feedback request: my app to create 3D animations from Strava activities

Hello everyone! I created an application that creates 3D animations based on Strava activity. I wanted to effectively show those activities that take place in mountainous terrain, e.g. mountain biliking or hiking. Created animations can be shared on social media. Sample video: https://youtube.com/shorts/RnOG_VV2rb0?feature=share I would love to have your feedback on the application so I can make it even better for everyone. 🙏 Known issues: - share button doesn’t work on some platforms (Firefox, chrome on macOS; It should work on mobile devices) - moving speed is dependent on screen refresh rate - activity visualizations from flat terrain are not attractive - visualizations of activity from outside Europe are generated significantly longer (my way of obtaining altitudes is optimized for Europe, it will be improved soon for the USA) - zoom level should be adjusted according to activity size More information here: https://paintmove.com

Time/position - Velocity - for weightlifting

Hi - We have been tracking lifting in the weights room for more than 20 years. Velocity, force, power, distance - more than reps and sets. Is Strava looking to increase its weightlifting feature? We would love our shared customers to be able to upload their GymAware and FLEX data. Velocity based training is increasingly popular with athletes that have a focus outside of the weights room as it accounts for auto-regulation. Would anyone like to start a conversation?

ActivityZone documentation inconsistent with responses from API

The API docs as well as the swagger spec define that the type of an ActivityZone can be one of ['heartrate', 'power']. However, the API also returns at least one other type, i.e. 'pace'. When using the swagger spec to validate or deserialize responses, this may lead to validation errors. Is it possible to update the documentation and swagger spec with all supported types? Thanks!

Get segment riders by day?

Hi everyone, I am thinking of a script that gets the local trail conditions from my city’s trail stewards association. If the trail is closed, I want to get via the Strava API a list of users that rode the segment(s) that day to see who is damaging the trails by riding them when closed. I read the API documentation extensively and couldn’t find an endpoint that satisfied this — anyone have any ideas or is it simply not possible? Cheers, Mel

license issue

Hello, I'm an app developer who is currently trying to develop an application through the Strava API. The purpose of this application is to manage students' grades and physical strength at the academy. That's where your API is going to be used. However, since this application is a student management application for private institutes, the profit model will be conducted not by advertising revenue from the app itself, but by receiving tuition fees from students enrolled in private institutes, and the app itself will not generate direct profits. In this situation, what should I do with the app to comply with the relevant regulations? Please explain the details if any phrases should be stated or the obligation to report.

Request for club activities returns empty array

Good day, for the last few years we have used the Strava API without issues using the following workflow once a day: A refresh token is requested That refresh token is used to request the activities in a club The response is further processed This morning, the activities were no longer showing up correctly. The only thing that was returned was an empty array (verbatim: "[]"). We have not changed anything about the requests or the way these requests were made. The account we use to make these requests is also an admin in the club in question, yet this changes nothing. What can be done to get things up and running again?

Club endpoint not returning any activities for most users starting sometime March 1.

We are seeing an empty payload being returned from the clubs endpoint for most users since this AM: https://www.strava.com/api/v3/clubs/nnnn/activities&per_page=100 No errors, just a 200 and an empty array. No changes on our end, no changes to the API that I can see? I don't see anything in the API status: https://status.strava.com/

Authentication with athletes has led to other problems...

SO, I was able to get my athletes to authenticate my application from which I could grab their activities through my app, BUT now the issue is that I can't seem to hit the club endpoint (where these athletes are also in) and grab their activities from the club page. Are these two things somehow related to each other? Would my acquiring access to their activities hinder my ability to grab the club activities in which their runs are? This has been a frustrating occurrence for me involving lots of debugging and a whole lot of questions surrounding access and authentication that doesn't really get covered in their documentation. Any help would be appreciated. Other thing I noticed is the service.getAccessToken() call doesn't seem to be getting a refreshed access token. It's using some old one.

Run Segment Reports based on year.

Back in the day there was a way you could run a report on a specific segment. Then you could pull data say for last year. It would tell you how mine riders and how many attempts. Now I am only seeign the options for Today, This Week, and This month. Am I missing a change?

Would Like to See How Many Riders Have Done a Segment in a Specified Timeframe

Hello, I would like to be able to make an API call that returned an object showing start/end times, and duration, for all riders in that time period. It would not need to include any PII I would just like to analyze trail use. I know that I can manually go to Strava and look at a segment, but I would like to be able to see this data programmatically.

Zapier Integration limited athlete information

I'm implementing an integration between Strava and an external system based on Zapier. For each run someone does in a particular club on Strava I would like to update the profile on the other platform. The activity trigger does work fine on clubs but the information you get on an athlete is minimal. I only get resource_state, firstname and lastname (first character). Which makes it very unreliable to do profile lookups in the other platform that's linked. Is Strava considering adding a unique athlete ID for example here because this would solve my problem?

Stravalib package update with possible breaking changes

Hi, I’m reaching out as a maintainer of the stravalib python package. We recently made some changes under the hood that will allow us to easily maintain the package and keep up with changes to the Strava API. We tried to keep the usage of stravalib as backward-compatible as possible with previous releases, but it is impossible to test for all potential use cases. Therefore, we created a pre-release that can be installed with `pip install —pre stravalib==1.3.0rc0`. The (known) breaking changes are documented here. Please test your package or project with this pre-release to ensure the upcoming version will not break it. If you encounter any issues or have questions, please continue the conversation at our Github repo!

API activity request with refresh capability for access token

I am unable to retrieve my activities via my React application, despite using this how-to site for reference and largely copying the code over: https://javascript.plainenglish.io/strava-api-react-app-326e63527e2c. Is this not a valid request link: https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities?access_token=<access_token_here> ? Of course, that <access_token_here> part is where my current access token would be, which gets refreshed with the way I've set up my React App.js file. For extra context, I am receiving a 401 request error upon the request being made in React: The underlying error appears to be the following: Not sure how to interpret this result. I'd appreciate any help/insight into this for those of you who are aware of a fix/solution and/or have gone through this problem already.

Authentication from other Strava users

Perhaps this is answered somewhere already, but so long as the athlete's posts are public, am I able to grab their activities with the API (as long as I've authenticated)? Or do I need them to do something for me so they're authenticated, too? I would like to create an application that can grab the weekly activities from the athletes I coach and display them on a webpage.

strava://settings/privacy/"Aggregated Data Usage" ?

I'm trying to make a link that directs to the "Aggregated Data Usage" page in the app but can't figure out what is supposed to go in the link to get there. I've been able to do "strava://settings/privacy/maps" and it brings you to the "Map Visibility" page so I assume there's something to bring you to the "Aggregated Data Usage" page. Anyone happen to know? Thanks.

What are the procedure to store athlete ride info for my app

I was trying to build an app for our cycling club to conduct some monthly challenges and for this i want to store athlete data in my application database and need. But when I go through the API agreement i saw "you may not collect, use, store, aggregate or transfer any Strava Data in any manner except as expressly permitted by us for the use of your Developer Application ". So how can i get permission from starve to store these data. For app like this need to store the athlete data in the database and aggregate the result to find the topers. Did anybody know how to get a permission from strata. or is this not needed?

Can specific leaderboard filters be applied in segment URL reference?

Can specific leaderboard filters be applied in segment URL reference? Example: https://www.strava.com/segments/33639581?filter=overall Can specific filters be applied on URL reference for example TODAY, MEN? If so, is there a list of supported filters for use in URL references in addition to OVERALL in example above?
