Hello,

In the API is the Activity.total_elevation_gain field populated with Strava-corrected elevation or the elevation data originally recorded by the device / app? The documentation just states: "The activity's total elevation gain." 

Thanks

It's the same elevation gain as in the activity in the Strava website or Strava app. If that is corrected or not is up to Strava algorithms or the user.
