Strava subscription whebhook on deauthorize

Hello,I use a subscription to webhook on my webapp and it works very fine, but i have a question about this use case:- a user in my app decides to deauthorize Strava.- i do some stuff on its account (unset stored data for this user like athlete id, token, refresh token, expiration timestamp...)- in the same time i post to Strava API POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/deauthorizewith required data for this user.At this step all is working fine. The deauthorization for this user is done.But, few seconds later i also receive strava webhook event on my callback subscription url to inform me about the deautorization!My understanding of webhook is Strava is posting events to my app when an event for an account registered to my app is happening not in my app but in Strava.So my question is why Strava triggers this event when the deauthorization is starting from my app.Thanks a lot for your reply.Joel (from France ;))

Help to solve Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded

Dear Strava team,I'm trying to develop an application that connects the app with my social network website where coaches and athletes can monitor their physical activities using the Strava's API. But when I use the API to log in with a second account, the following error appears:Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded.This app has exceeded the limit of connected athletes. If you are a developer of this application, please contact Strava developer support for how to request a quota increase. What are the conditions for quota, pricing, etc? Please note that I'm not using the developer account at the moment, so I'd like to know what is the procedure so I can apply with my developer account. Can you please help me with this? Thank you in advance.

Ideal flow for "Sign up with Strava"?

I have an app that is fairly integrated with Strava. I'd love to be able to have users create accounts via Strava directly, but it seems like the API doesn't expose email at all. This makes sense from a security standpoint, but it also makes the auth flow a lot more frictiony.What's the best user experience you've seen on this front?

Questions About App environments, setup and API Limit Increase

Hi Strava Developer Community,I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on integrating the Strava API into our application and have a few questions regarding the setup and usage of the API.Questions:1. Multiple Applications for Development and Production:Is it possible to create more than one app under the same account, for example, one for development and another for production? If so, what are the steps to set this up, and are there any best practices to follow?2. API Limit Increase for Testing Phase:We need to conduct internal testing with 50-100 users to ensure our integration with the Strava API is functioning correctly. Is it possible to temporarily increase the number of users for this testing phase or you must have already released the application into production?3. Suggestions for App Approval:Are there any specific guidelines or suggestions to increase the likelihood of our app being approved by Strava? Any tips on documentation, implementation, or other best

Request to increase Athlete limit.

Dear Strava Developer Support Team,I am writing to request an increase in our athlete capacity limit. In just one week after releasing our integration, even with a staged rollout, we have already reached the 999 allocated Strava athlete limit. We would like to significantly increase our Strava user limit to support our full rollout.Our platform currently has a large number of monthly active users, primarily weightlifters and bodybuilders. A substantial portion of our users incorporate cardio exercises, often using apps like Strava, to aid in fat reduction. Increasing our athlete capacity limit would greatly benefit our user base.Please let me know if there is any additional form we need to fill out to request an increase in athlete limits. Thank you very much for your assistance.Best regards,

Get Activity Streams (getActivityStreams) returning 500

Hello Strava Community,I'm experiencing an issue with the "Get Activity Streams (getActivityStreams)" method. When an activity lasts more than 5-6 hours, the response includes an excessive amount of data, resulting in a 500 server error. Is there a way to limit the number of data points returned to prevent this heavy response?I understand that different stream types (keys) can be queried individually by passing them as parameters, allowing us to request data like distance, time, heart rate, watts, etc., separately instead of all at once. However, even when querying individually, we're still encountering a 500 error for long activities. With the increasing popularity of long endurance sports, where athletes cover distances of 200 miles or more, we can expect very large activities, even in training sessions.For instance, Garmin provides an option to restrict the number of data points returned, which reduces the data load. While this results in less accurate data, it is often sufficient f

Webhook - Not Receiving Activity Events

Hi everyone,I'm having an issue with Strava's webhook for my side project and could really use some help. My webhook subscription seems to be partially working since I do receive events when an athlete deauthorizes the app. However, I'm not receiving any events for new activities.Here are some details about my setup:The webhook subscription is successfully created.I have verified that the authorisation scope activity:read_all is granted.Despite this, new activity events are not coming through.Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any idea what might be causing this?Thanks in advance for any suggestions!Best,Marvin

I continue with a limit of 1 athlete after approval

Hi,I applied for the API a few weeks ago and received an email approving it, in which it says that I have up to 999 athletes limit.However, when I go to https://www.strava.com/settings/api I still see the limit of only 1 athlete. How is this possible? Do I have to do anything else?Thank you.

Is there an option to get Club events via Strava API?

It looks like that there is no such option. But I think it may be a great addition for any club to have an option to least events on their website/app and even have a button for people to join their events. Could propel event usage a lot and improve quite a few metrics.Totally separate thing but another missing feature from user's perspective is to join Repeated events. With two options: Join this event and all following events, join only this this event. The same for leaving the events.Both these features will increase Event-related metrics drastically

Allow the app push notification or send message to athlete

I built an app to automatically analyze your running activity on Strava. Powered by AI 🤖After the Athlete syncs with Strava and the server receives the webhook from Strava, the notification has new activity.The app will analyze the data within a few seconds but there is no way to alert/notify the Athlete that the analysis task from the AI has been completed.I want the Strava team to support this feature, allowing the app to send notifications or send message to Athletes.I saw that when I synced activity from the Coros app. Strava notified me a new activityOr any other ideas, please help me.Thanks!

Determine if authenicated user has given activity:write

Hey,During the Auth process, we are requesting (amongst others) the scope activity:write. Is there a way to determine if the user deselected (or indeed kept selected) this permission during the Auth Process? Either in the response back from in the auth process, or, at a later date with a separate API request? At present, the only way I can see how to determine it is to try to write and catch the Unauthorised Error (a pretty ugly way to do it!). Thanks

👨‍💻 Strava API : filter athlete activities by type

Hi there 👋As a developer an a Strava user, it will be very helpful to add an optional parameter to the getLoggedInAthleteActivities request so it only returns activities matching a specific type.For example, if an app only use Strava API for bike stats, it could only get the activities matching the type "Bike".Thanks for your attention! 😁

Webhook event with updates visibility everyone for before connection to the app

I have a new user connected to my app two days ago. Out of the sudden I am reciving batches and batches of webhook events for activities updates. The updates are: {"visibility":"everyone"}Activities to be updated are from 2014, 2015, 2016 and so on. I have asked the user how she did it. And she says she have changed the account visibility about 2 weeks ago.So my question is are those events are still coming from that change 2 weeks ago (before connecting to my app) or there is some other logic behind such webhooks behavior?

Webhook authorize false sent several days after revoking

Is it possible that Strava sends out authorize:false event several days AFTER revoking? Or maybe is repeating that webhook event? I had a case I revoked on my test user, then connected again. All worked as expected and then after a week I am receiving authorize:false again and my user is deauthorized!Is it possible? That case happened for two users and both events was send in the same batch from Strava and processed together within my 2 minutes interval.I have checked my security flow and I am sure there is no way for someone else to push such event to my app.

updateActivityById - Resource Not Found Error

Hi, I'm trying to update an activity using the endpoint updateActivityById with a PUT request in Python. However, I'm consistently getting a "Resource Not Found" error. Here's my code: def update_acti(idd): activity_write_read_all_token = *** url = f'https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/{idd}' header = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + activity_write_read_all_token } data = { 'gear_id' : user['shoes'] #shoes identifier, string } r = requests.put(url, headers = header, json = data).json() return r response = update_acti(***) I get an error 404 : Ressource Not Found.I first checked that the activity existed with getActivityById and it does. The user['shoes'] returns the correct gear id as a string. Even with this line commented I still get the error.Then I supposed the error came from my PUT request "syntax" or from the access token. So I tested the updateAc
