Developers & API

I have a personal project where I am creating activities based on rides taken on a bikeshare program. I want to be able to calculate the CO2 saved by taking this form of transportation, as I see this data in the Strava platform but it isn't returned on the /activities/id API call. It would be amazing if this could be added.

https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-DetailedSegmentEffortThese docs are missing information:1. On what the `achievements` property is. Clearly a collection of entities, but the entity objects are completely undocumented.2. On what the `visibility` property represents and the possible values for it.3. On what the `hazardous`, `elevation_profile`, and `starred` properties of the `segment` property represent. It's supposed to be documented by https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-SummarySegment but these properties are omitted in the docs.

There are not any docs for accessing photos. If we get a detailed activity through `/activities/{id}` we will get back a `photos` property that indicates:1. The location of the primary photo2. The number of photos uploaded to the activityBut there is not an array of photo ids. Someone on this board discovered that you can hit `/activities/{id}/photos` to get an activities photos, but there seem to be query parameters necessary to get back different photo sizes. We can guess that `?size=5000` will work, but I bet there are better ways to get back original images than guessing.Please document the photos API.

The docs for `DetailedActivity` claim that these fields are only for runs, but I seem them on rides as well. And what I am seeing makes no sense. I would assume the first split in each collection would be equivalent to one another, i.e. cover the same physical space on Earth. But I'm seeing a metric split like: { "distance": 1007.7, "elapsed_time": 171, "elevation_difference": 25.8, "moving_time": 170, "split": 1, "average_speed": 5.93, "average_grade_adjusted_speed": null, "average_heartrate": 138.79041916167665, "pace_zone": 0 } And the "corresponding" standard split as: { "distance": 1610.2, "elapsed_time": 249, "elevation_difference": 29.6, "moving_time": 248, "split": 1, "average_speed": 6.49, "average_grade_adjusted_speed": null, "average_heartrate": 140.66122448979593, "pace_zone": 0 } These numbers do not match up. Presumably the `elapsed_time` would be equal if the splits were covering

Hello,I assume I'm making a newbie mistake, but can't seem to see where the issue lies.1. I made a successful request to https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/tokenwhere I receive the following response{token_type: 'Bearer',expires_at: 1695548372,expires_in: 20715,refresh_token: '123abc', // replacing real valuesaccess_token: '456def', // replacing real valuesathlete: {      id: ...,   }}2. I then take the access_token to get activity like:curl https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities -H “Authorization: Bearer 456def”where I then get the following error: {"message":"Authorization Error","errors":[{"resource":"Athlete","field":"access_token","code":"invalid"}]}curl: (6) Could not resolve host: Bearercurl: (6) Could not resolve host: 456def”I also have a follow up question, what is the difference between the access token I recieve when authorizing via OAuth (above query) and the access token I have in my developer settings on my Strava develo

When typing a message, you get a message saying "Your content was auto-saved at x". The time here however is not using the user timezone. For example, I'm currently in Europe/Amsterdam (UTC+2) at 13:28 local time, but the message says "04:28 AM".

After the using "https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/authorize" api i got the new code and everytime getting error Error: {message: 'Authorization Error',errors: [ { resource: 'Application', field: '', code: 'invalid' } ]}

I encountered a 404 while attempting to fetch an activity after getting a webhook request for creating an activity. I observe a pattern that occurs when creating an activity and it automatically deletes an activity that has a small time difference, I also observed that when 404 occurred we have a webhook for deleting activity nearby that confirms the above statement. I tried it several times, but the same issue occurred repeatedly.

Hi, im trying to put the map directly when uploading an tcx file, the activity is correctly imported , with all the data but the map is empty"map": {     "id": "a9264361330",     "summary_polyline": "",     "resource_state": 2},i have the polyline encoded, but I dont find how to send it to the activity, anyone knows how I can achieve that?

 Hello everyone.I'm having an issue when trying to request user activities from the endpoint https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities. I get a 403 (Bad Request) error, although the client secret string and user access token are fine. Here's roughly the HTML page I get in response: 403 ERRORBad request.We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation.Generated by cloudfront (CloudFront)I've already seen a couple of posts here with a similar error, but no useful answers. Maybe I am doing something wrong? I would be grateful if someone could point me out on my mistake.Thanks for reading and have a great day 🙂

I have heartrate data from indoor cycling sessions ( no gps data ) and I want my app to be able to upload the session once it's finished to strava. I have been able to create an activity with only the average heartrate, but i have not been able to do so with accurate data for each moment to be able to view a heartrate graph. My data would is something like this but i can change the time to date: ( same for power ) [{ hrp: 50, time: 0 }, { hrp: 55, time: 10 }, ....]

I have coppied the <i frame> code to place the clubs 'Latest Activities' Is it possible to change the settings so that it shows say 'Activities in the Month'? Thanks for bringing the forum / chat for us 

Hi,I'm trying to deauthroize a user using the following two links but it seems to be sending me back errors:https://www.strava.com/oauth/deauthorize - Page doesn't existhttps://www.strava.com/api/v3/deauthorize - {"message":"Record Not Found","errors":[{"resource":"resource","field":"path","code":"invalid"}]}Is there a link that I'm suppose to use?

Hey fellow Strava enthusiasts,Hope you're all doing great! I've been working on this awesome app that's going to integrate with Strava using the Strava API. I've been diving into the API documentation and it's been a blast. 🚴‍♂I've got a quick question for those of you who might have experience with this: I stumbled upon the STRAVA API PROGRAM SUBMISSION FORM, and it's got me wondering whether I should fill it out before launching my app on the Play Store or after. Here's the link to the form: https://share.hsforms.com/1VXSwPUYqSH6IxK0y51FjHwcnkd8.Also, I'm thinking, if I should fill it out after launching the app, how do you think I should handle my users during the review process? I mean, they wouldn't be able to enjoy the Strava API goodness while it's under review, right? Any insights on how to manage this without causing too much disruption would be super appreciated.I'm all ears for any advice or stories from those of you who have been through this process. Let's share our

Hi, I'm looking into the Strava API, and we'd like to have the ability to start and stop an activity.  However, from what our development says, there is no explanation in the documentation on how to start and stop an activity (such as run, bike, etc)   Does anyone know if this is possible and, if so, how to do it?Thanks,Dan Native Voice

I called Strava API to connect the athlete with my app, I need some required information about the athlete. Email is the first priority of them, but I can't see the email of the athlete. I already tried with the all of scope but still I don't see the email. How can I get the email of the athlete?

Im looking for a way to access goals (ie Profile > Progess > Goals) and challenge (ie Groups > Challenges) progress from the API (for example lets say a monthly running goal of 100KM is set up then I can see okay 56.2/100 KM done or whatever or for the September Running challenge it can tell me also 56.2/100KM done) Is there a way to access this? I don't see it in documentation.To be clear I just want to read the details of the challenges that the user has setup or signed up for not modify anything and not see challenges from anyone else

I noticed that strava is uploading different data then i have on my watch or on my bike. Is that normal ? I guess its not. Regards,Alen 

I'm trying to onboard to start using the Strava API for personal use and I'm stuck at literally step 1.Reading the documentation here, it says:Any registered Strava user can obtain an access_token by first creating an application at https://www.strava.com/settings/api.This page does not work. I see the header for My API Application, then right below it an error message that reads Something went wrong. I've attached a screenshot below. This is super discouraging that step one of onboarding doesn't work for the API.

I've created a route, now i need to find where roads, that vehicles can legally drive on, will intersect with the route.  and have those points be able to be clearly transferred to apple/google maps so aid station workers can simply drive to said points, setup an aid station and wait for the runners to show up.

My app does not handle the datastreams well if time does not start at 0. Some activities of other users have this issue. I have not been able to get this on one of my own activities.How can i replicate this in an activity to test and handle the error this causes? I have a phone and a Wahoo Bolt to test with.Thanks,Lucas

I am a post-grad student, studying for a Masters in Data Science.I am working on a project using machine learning tools to analyse individuals' historical training and race fit / gpx / tcx data, and to identify successful training patterns and strategies.This analysis would then be used to build and train a model to enable any runner to create their own training program, entirely personalised to their running history.At the moment, I am limited to accessing data from people that have provided it to me directly. Is there anyone at Strava that can be contacted for this sort of request?Thanks!
