Hi,

I'm looking to use the Strava API to collect a large dataset on individuals who run. Is there a way I can list (or is there some public database) of athletes whose profiles are set to public? I'd then simply call "get athlete stats".

 

I'd like to query through this list of individuals to create a dataset.

Hey @jramponi,

Thank you for your post. The Strava API does not allow you to get data for all Strava public athletes. You can read about that here.

I think you are only able to access activities for the strava login you used when requesting the access code. "The Strava API does not allow you to get data for all Strava public athletes, as you can see on our website." from the API doc. If you find a way let me know because that was what I was looking for as well.
