Webhook Stopped working

Since february 27, my webhook -that was succesfully working since 2018, stopped receiving events from Strava. Nothing changed on my application side.[    {        "id": 130673,        "resource_state": 2,        "application_id": 16505,        "callback_url": "https://www.cycloclub.be/stravacallback.php",        "created_at": "2018-11-14T08:19:33+00:00",        "updated_at": "2018-11-14T08:19:33+00:00"    }]I checked everything, deleted the subscription (succesfull), and re-registered it, which fails with message GET to callback URL does not return 200.I did all checks, verified the callback-URL, but can’t figure out the issue.It seems that Strava -for some reason- can no longer reach the website/URL, as I’m also seeing no longer requests coming from Strava to the webserver since feb 27.Has anyone encountered similar issues ?

API OR

Hello, this is New Balance Korea. We connect to Strava through an app called MYNB to record and store running data and provide related services to our customers. However, for a while, the data has not been reflected properly, and recently, the icon for installing Strava app has not been viewed on Google Play and the App Store. Do you have any plans to suspend or reduce services to South Korea? If so, please answer the specific schedule plan.

InApp Browser Strava Authentication not working anymore

Hi,the Strava authentication in my windows app CR4NKUP is not working anymore. The app was built in Unity and uses the Vuplex Webengine ( https://developer.vuplex.com/webview/overview ). When the user wants to connect his Strava account for uploading activities to Strava the InApp Webbrowser is opened with the Authentication url and according parameters and the user has to authorize. My app handles then the upload of the activities to Strava and takes care about token refresh, etc. Everything was working fine for more than one year. But since about two months the Authentication does not work anymore.When the Strava page is opened in the InApp webbrowser and the user enters his credentials (email) the page shows an error instead of the next page to enter the password. The error is something like this (translation from German to English):Unexpected Error. Please try again later.If I use the url for authentication directly in the browser everything works fine.Were there any changes on Str

No activity retrieved when calling /athlete/activities

Hello,I have implemented a “synchronize” activities action on my website with a Strava connect button. So far, it works well for everybody except for one athlete.The account is correctly associated with Strava, but when calling the /athlete/activities endpoint, nothing is returned.When calling the endpoint for other athletes, 30 (max) activities are returned by the endpoint.There is no error, except that the response body is an empty array. REST.php on line 97:array:4 [▼ "headers" => array:25 [▼ "Content-Type" => array:1 [▶] "Transfer-Encoding" => array:1 [▶] "Connection" => array:1 [▶] "Date" => array:1 [▶] "status" => array:1 [▶] "x-ratelimit-usage" => array:1 [▶] "x-ratelimit-limit" => array:1 [▶] "cache-control" => array:1 [▶] "vary" => array:1 [▶] "referrer-policy" => array:1 [▶] "x-permitted-cross-domain-policies" => array:1 [▶] "x-xss-protection" => array:1 [▶] "x-request-id" => array:1 [▶] "x-r

🚀 Question about updating activity descriptions using the Strava API

Hello, we are developing a third-party service using the Strava API.📌 Scenario:Our service:Receives activity creation/update events via Strava webhooks. Then retrieves the activity data and updates the activity description by appending our service's content.⚠️ Problem:After receiving the webhook, we retrieve the activity data and update the description.However, we occasionally encounter the following issues:Our description update is not reflected. Descriptions added by other third-party services disappear.To address this, we introduced a 4 to 5-second delay before fetching activity data, but the same issue still happens intermittently.❓ Questions:What is the recommended approach to prevent description conflicts when multiple third-party services update an activity simultaneously?We would appreciate it if you could share any official guidelines or best practices related to this.Thank you! 🙏

Retrieving Estimated Power in Activity Stream via API

Hi,I’m trying to export power data from an activity using the Strava API. I have a request that fetches the activity stream with the watts parameter. When a power meter was used during the activity, the values are returned correctly. However, if the activity was performed without a power meter, the API returns an empty stream.I noticed that in other places, such as the average_watts field, the API provides a value based on estimated power without any issues. Additionally, on the Analysis tab of the Strava activity page, it’s possible to view estimated power at each time point.Is there a way to retrieve estimated power through the API so that it appears in the activity stream? Maybe there’s another endpoint or parameter that should be included?Thanks for your help!

Webhook Event Data

Does anyone know why the event data being sent to my webhook looks like a schema definition, instead of the actual activity data? This is the event data that my webhook receives from Strava after an activity is logged, no data or whatsoever.{   "":"http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",   "title":"StravaPushModel",   "type":"object",   "required":[      "event_time",      "object_id",      "object_type",      "owner_id"   ],   "properties":{      "event_time":{         "type":"integer"      },      "object_id":{         "type":"integer"      },      "object_type":{         "type":"string"      },      "owner_id":{         "type":"integer"      }   }}

Monthly activities language

If I refresh when looking at the monthly activities, the language of the type of activity (i.e run, walk etc) often change to another language. I have English as the language on my phone, and the rest of the app is in English, but when refreshing this page I have seen French, Spanish, German, and some languages I do not know which were. It is totally random and sometimes all of the activity type names change and sometimes not, see screenshots.

Beware of Links When Updating Activities

Not sure when this started, but I noticed that whenever my app would POST details to the /activities API endpoint, I’d get an error saying the description was invalid.I eventually found that the cause was that I was adding my app’s domain to the end of the description (e.g. Workout by StrideOn.run). Removing the .run portion fixed the issue.This has previously worked for years, so it might be related to Strava’s recent updates regarding links.Even if you’re not specifically adding a domain name in the description, this error could happen if Strava thinks that it is or if it’s user-generated and contains what appears to be a link.

Pause button on Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro

Hello, after Samsung firmware update in December 2024, I’m not able to use the button for pause the activity on my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro anymore. Its necessary to click on screen for pause, which is uncomfortable (because of gloves, etc). Do you think, you can reair that?Before the Samsung Galaxy Watch firmware update, it worked properly.

Deauthorize webhook call doesn't happen

Hello,Until recently (I can’t tell exactly the date from which it didn’t work anymore), I  had no problem calling the deauthorize URL (https://www.strava.com/oauth/deauthorize) for a given user, which in return triggered my webhook to let my backend knows that the user, from the strava pov, is disconnected from my app. I then delete the user connection with strava on my app (and thus his strava token from my DB).But now, this webhook (containing the specific key:value ‘{"authorized" : "false"}’ ) is not called and doesn’t let me knows that the removal of my app is effectively done on the strava side.This webhook is however effectively called if the user delete my app from his strava account.Is it a change of behavior from the strava webhook system or is it a bug?I don’t see any change in the documentation about it.Thanks

Webhook stopped working on February 27

Since February 27, the webhook of my application is no longer receiving expected events. This functionality has been working well since 2018, and nothing is changed to the application or callback URL.The webhook subscription is still out there (when viewing the subscription), and the callback URL is still showing http-code 200 and correctly echos the hub.challenge in the JSON body when requested.[    {        "id": 130673,        "resource_state": 2,        "application_id": 16505,        "callback_url": "https://www.cycloclub.be/stravacallback.php",        "created_at": "2018-11-14T08:19:33+00:00",        "updated_at": "2018-11-14T08:19:33+00:00"    }]Does anyone experience the same behavior ?

Additional API Limit Increase

I have an app that is part of the Developer program which has a read rate limit of 30k/day. I was operating well under that limit (2-3k) until recently when I gained a lot of users. Has anyone had success with requesting to scale their API to fit the need? I would love for users to not have a bad experience when first opening the app. Thanks!

Athlete limit increase from 1 to a higher number (Client ID : 140015)

Hello, the "number of allowed connections to fitness influencers" for us is 1, and we hope it can be increased to 5,000. It has been two days since we submitted the application on the page, but we haven't received a reply yet. If the expected requirement cannot be met, to what extent can it be increased temporarily? The product has been launched, and we hope this can be processed as soon as possible. Thank you.

Webhook response "GET to callback URL does not return 200"

I am trying to setup a webhook subscription and am getting an error “GET to callback URL does not return 200”.My callback URL is:https://a0410022.fmphost.com/otto/receiver/Strava.fmp12/channel_activities?hub.verify_token=STRAVA&hub.challenge=15f7d1a91c1f40f8a748fd134752feb3&hub.mode=subscribe&apiKey=[KEY]Which does in fact give a 200 OK response (see images 2 and 3, response and headers).Why is the /push_subscriptions POST throwing back an error that the callback URL “GET to callback URL does not return 200”?

Chnaged the map when opening s ride

Is it at all possible to change the map back to the way it was before the recent update? Whenever I click on a ride now, the formatting of the ride map is very klunky and hard to navigate or view (line is too thick). I also can no longer overlay my rides with heat maps which is disappointing. To me this is a case of, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
