Online observations and participation

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

Full map and summary map - hidden points

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

Following athletes activities

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, instead of ClubActivity).These features would be really helpful for apps that aren't athlete-focused, but club-focused. For example, given an app for clubs, which is built on top of Strava and managed by a club m

How should I increase the limit？

Hello, our app is using your API. Recently, some users have encountered an error 403 issue where they are unable to upload their exercise data to your platform. I went to your website: https://www.strava.com/settings/api Found no option to increase the limit. Should I increase the limit to solve this problem? How should I increase the limit? My current limit is 999

Is webhook functionality currently unavailable?

My app was down for several months (because free running challenge for my staff union only held in 2 weeks very 6 months).Recently I bring up my app server, make little changes, and create test activities, but those new activities does not automatically push to my app.Those test activities are successfully fetch manually, but not via webhook.I added log to my app to see webhook is triggered, but there is no log at all.I use Postman application to retrieve Subscription, it's fine. However, I can not delete that subscription. If I tried to subscribe new webhook subscription (using Postman), I receive a webpage with something like below:<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Strava is temporarily unavailable</title> <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'> <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1' /> <meta name='robots' content='noindex' /> <link href='http://strava.static.s3.am

No more "duplicate of activity" response

Few days ago we encountered weird problem: there is no more "duplicate of activity..." message from server, even when sending the same activity multiple times. I've found this post at forum, which is pretty similar, but we have this problem on different accounts, where it was working before. Were there any changes in API? If not, what could be the problem?

List of domains that the application uses

Hi All, I am looking for the list of domains that the application uses (e.g., api.strava.com, etc...) or a list of IP addresses for the application. I need it in order to detect the traffic originated from Mobile users to Strava and allow this traffic while stopping all the other. Many thanks for your help.

Strava on Huawei Smartphones (AppGallery Store)

I am a Huawei smartphone user and I would love to be able to use Strava on my phone. I know that Strava is not currently available on the Huawei App Gallery, but I think it would be a great addition. There are many Huawei users who are active athletes and they would benefit from being able to use Strava to track their workouts and connect with other athletes. I hope that Strava will consider developing a version for Huawei smartphones (AppGallery) store.

Route Starring With API

I'm really interested in developing an app that gives a much richer experience to manage routes. I want to be able to group all my routes by different types/locations/favourites etc and then easily Star groups that I want to Sync to a Wahoo GPS unit. By starring or unstarring a group in the app I would want to be able to star/unstar those routes on Strava through the API. If the wahoo is then setup to only sync public started routes it will just xfer what I want for that ride.Looking at the API documents it doesn't look like you can star/unstar a route but just wondering if I have missed something.It's a real pain when you have a large library of routes and you only want a few synced to the device at any one time!Thanks

Get recent athlete photos

Is there any way to get the last uploaded photos of an athlete?Like the native strava app is doing when you visit an athlete profile.Currently, the only way of doing this is to loop over the last activities of an athlete and call the /activity/{activity_id}/photos?size=2048 endpoint.But of course it is long and will raise a 429 Too many requests.Something like /athlete/photos or something would be nice but it does not seem to exist

Can I have a staging site for testing off the same API?

I have an app running with about 400 daily users. I have done a lot of updates to it and want to test them before deployment, obviously. How can I run a test where I have 10 users (I will personally organise the 10 to actually do this) go and connect to the testing version of the new deployment so I can test it before deploying it?

virtual riding / static smart-bike / kettler hoi speed / weight?

If you register your gear, 1 x smart-bike, kettler hoi speed, do you enter the bike weight? For a virtual ride (ROUVY) I would assume bike weight is irrelevant? Kindly advise right procedures to ensure W is correct.

API: Are there plans to include description in the return objects from /athlete/activities?

Hey everyone! I'm working on a project and belatedly realized that description is available in the response from the get activity endpoint, but not from the list activities endpoint. It seems so gratuitous to then call out to getActivity for each activity from the list results! Does anyone know if there are plans to include description in the list endpoint as well? It's my first time posting to this discussion board so hopefully this is an okay question to ask and I added okay labels and tags. As a first time poster I wasn't sure the difference between labels and tags really!Thanks!-Ali

(RESOLVED) Activities limited to 1000 in Training/My Activities

Recently I noticed that the number of activities available to review in Training/My Activities has now been capped at 1000. I'm sure that wasn't the case previously, is there a reason for this change? What has happened to the data for the older activities beyond the 1000activity limit and can a user recover those activities beyond the 1000 cap if they want them? Also will the older activities above 1000 remain visible on the individual heat map?

Accessing kom/qom data for segment

I have noticed that for an app I found online, https://github.com/bokub/stravanity that when querying the segments api endpoint, the response includes a field 'xoms' containing kom and qom times and also 'local_legend'. When I query the same endpoint with my own app API key I do not get this data, even though I am a subscriber. What could I do to fetch the kom/qom data for segments?
