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?

Photo occupying the total space of the activity and not showing the map simultaneously (no reflesh)

When reloading the feed that has a photo, the app does not divide the photo with the map. The app places the photo occupying the entire feed.

Privacy settings for new uploads

Our customers are asking for privacy controls for new uploads. It appears the API was changed in 2018 and no longer supports "private" flag. Just requesting to bring back this feature.I understand the user can set the default privacy setting for new uploads through the web interface.

Request: Add ANT+ sensors to Activity GET request

I would like to build a webhook that assigns the correct bike to newly uploaded activities by looking at what ANT+ sensors were used with the activity. Would it be possible to add identifiers of the ANT+ sensors to the Activity GET request to enable this functionality? Thanks,Matt

Authentication Scope

Hi Folks,Trying to use the API to get some of my data out of Strava. I managed to created an API token which works as a bearer token to access the API.However I noticed the scope is "read" per:In order to access https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities I need a token with "activity:read_all", but I cannot find anywhere to change the scope of my access token. Can anyone point me to the documentation that describes granting different scopes ?

HeartRate

Hello In my application I want to retrieve the heart rate for an activity: the time spent in each zone. I use: "https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities?per_page=200" Indeed there is the average and maximum frequency. But I would like the time for each HR zone Z1 to Z5. There is this: "https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/zones" "Authorization: Bearer [[token]]" But I don't see the link with the Activity ID. Do you have options. Thanks very much

Get Authenticated Athlete's Profile Privacy

Hey, Does anyone know how to access whether the authenticated athlete has a "public" or "followers" only profile? I understand that there is a visibility/private attribute on activities but there isn't one on a profiles. See DetailedAthlete: https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-DetailedAthlete Athlete's who have a followers only profile often post activities with an "everyone" visibility. Even though it's "everyone" the activity is private to the internet because it respects the minimum privacy of the [activity,profile]. In the case you're building an integration that wants to respect users' activity privacy, it's not possible to know to hide activities that are not publicly on strava.com when it's their profile visibility keeping them private. Any solution here would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards,Rory App: https://spava.club

API doc correction: deauthorization endpoint response

Hello,I think there's a small typo in the documentation of the deauthorization endpoint's response. The doc says that the endpoint "responds with the refresh tokens that were revoked", but it seems to respond with the access token that was revoked.Cyril

How to get details for all laps by an athlete in a single call?

How to get details for all laps by an athlete in a single call without having to provide the activity id for each activity?  Or should i make one call per activity to get the laps information? Any better way?

409 conflict error

Hello,I'm using the Strava API to post activities for my users onto their strava account. However, every so often I get a 409 error back from strava when I try to create an activity. I know this means that an activity already exists at that time for that user, but the user in question had no conflicting activity.For example, at the following time: 2023-01-09T15:35:25.225Z,I sent a POST request to create an activity and got a 409 error back with the following body: {"message":"error"}. The start_date_local was "2023-01-09T15:00:20+00:00", and the user's latest activity on their strava account was 4 days before this activity, so there can't be a conflict.

API Doc Correction: Update authentication docs

Hey!I was working on a small app last week using the developer docs and was wondering if you could make a correction. The docs suggest that the tokens received for accessing resources are bearer tokens meant to be posted as headers when requesting resources however in practice (at least for the `/athlete/activities` endpoint) the v3 api expects the access_token to be sent as a query parameter. Is there any chance the docs could be updated to reflect this or at least clarify that different resources require different forms of access tokens? What was especially confusing is that when I went through the redirect flow the token was explicitly listed as `token_type: Bearer` which was not correct.

Developer Webhook Events API new field request

It would be really useful if the Webhook Event "aspect_type = update" of "activity" would be triggered for the "gear_id" field.I'm building an app and would really like to be notified when the gear_id of an activity just changed. For my app, a change of "Gear_id" means a lot.Thanks.
