Cannot create app - Something went wrong error message

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.

ultramarathon creation *with driveable aidstation POI'S

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.

I have a phone and a Wahoo Bolt to test with.Thanks,Lucas

Who can I contact about data requests for academic research into building a running training model

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!

API POST to /activities

I am currently developing a mobile application and many of our users ask us if they can export their workouts to Strava.  We can post some workout data to /activities https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-Activities-createActivity through your API but, the workout data is very limited. Is there a way I can post all of the variables under https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-DetailedActivity to /activities or another endpoint? That would allow sending more complete data from our users to Strava.Thanks!

Club Activity and suggestions

Hello everyone,I am the president of the exercise science club at Chatham University and we are trying to mix things up this year with our events. I would really like to be able to host group challenges for the club to get students active and participating, the only problem is in order to do group challenges you have to have a subscription. I can understand why they would want you to have a subscription in order to make the challenges but I do not see the need to have to pay just to participate in them. More students would be interested in using the app if this feature is free so I would like find some kind of work around. I am also not sure if this is the suggestions box for the company to look at but if it isn't could someone tell me where to go please?It would be really great for the University to host private challenges for the students only. Thanks!

fix heatmaps

I understand the idea that heatmaps lines are graded so that we can see more and fewer travelled routes. But many of us are less concerned with that. Many would like to see the routes that theyve ridden, period. my most memorable rides are rides that Ive only ridden once and Id like to see them on my heatmap. But because they've only been ridden once they are so faint that I cant even see them. Ive tried playing with the colors but nothing works. make it so that all rides are solid, visable lines. Or at least make that an option like some other 3rd party apps have done.

Import activity with no GPS data

Hello, I'm trying to import my past 1900+ activities from MapMyRun. I have all activities exported in TCX format. But some activities has no GPS data (for example Gym workout). Strava bulk upload is rejecting those files. Can I somehow import them? The file looks like this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><TrainingCenterDatabase xmlns="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TrainingCenterDatabase/v2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TrainingCenterDatabase/v2 http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TrainingCenterDatabasev2.xsd"><Activities><Activity Sport="Other"><Id>2019-11-08T17:00:12+00:00</Id><Lap StartTime="2019-11-08T17:00:12+00:00"><TotalTimeSeconds>5400.0</TotalTimeSeconds><DistanceMeters>0.0</DistanceMeters><Calories>410.999999763264</Calories><Track><Trackpoint><Time>2019-11-08T17:00:12+00:00&

Draw a route on an area without a path ?

It would be nice to be able to plot a route over an area without a referenced path... This is the feature that often prevents me from plotting MTB routes with your tool, whereas this feature is available on other applications, such as https://www.openrunner.com/Another good idea to take from openrunner: the fact of being able to superimpose several courses on the same map...

My feed is of activity from other countries, not my own

Posted in general, now in Developer Discussions.Hello!  I've used free version and now in 30 day trial, enjoying Strava as I prepare for the upcoming end-of-July 500 mile ride across Iowa, RAGBRAI.  I'm from USA, but the activity I'm seeing of other riders is from Brazil, Turkey, and Spain.  Surprised I do not see any from USA.  I've checked my profile and it looks okay.It labels me as Mont Blanc - not sure what that means, anyway I'm in the USA.Any ideas?Thanks!

Add new gear

Hello everyone,I'm writing on behalf of an Italian bike brand.I know from Giant bikes ios app you can directly add your bike to Strava gears.I haven't found a way to manage (add/remove) gears using public v3 apis, you can only read gears.Is there a way to access those kind of apis? Must we setup a partnership between Strava and the brand?

Questions about weather data in the API.

Can anyone tell me if there are plans to add weather information besides temperature to the activities API? I know Strava's front-end displays basic weather information like feels-like and precipitation about the time an activity took place but that doesn't make its way to the API in any way I can tell.It also seems like the "average_temp" field does not show up consistently in the API. Is there a reason for this? I suspected it was older activities that did not have the data, but I cannot identify rhyme or reason why some have it and others do not.Thanks!
