Hi Strava Developer Team,
I am building a personal automation workflow for my own account and need clarification on activity comment posting support.
What I am trying to do:
- Post a comment on my own activity using:POST /api/v3/activities/{activity_id}/comments
Current behavior:
- OAuth token refresh succeeds.
- Access token is returned successfully.
- Granted scope includes activity:write (and activity:read).
- Reading activities and listing comments works.
- Posting comment consistently fails with:401 Authorization ErrorResponse body:{"message":"Authorization Error","errors":[]}
Environment:
- Public Strava API app
- Single-player mode
- OAuth 2.0 with refresh token flow
- Request sent from both GitHub Actions runner and local machine
- Same result when trying to create comments
Questions:
- Is POST activity comments currently supported for public API apps?
- If yes, are there additional requirements beyond activity:write?
- If no, is there an official alternative for automated responses (for example update activity description via updateActivityById)?
I can provide sanitized request/response logs and timestamps if needed.
Thank you.
