We’re not too near to our api limits, but do get close sometimes. Our system is only interested in activities or types of Swim, Bike, Run, or Walking. I don’t think I’ve seen anything, but I was wondering if there was a way to stop Strava webhook from sending e.g. Skiing activities/Paddle Boarding. As querying those only wastes our api limits.

There was a request made to add activity type to the webhook about a year ago. ​@Elliott11 said the request had been noted in their feature requests list, but nothing has come of it since.

 

At least for now, you're stuck querying every event. I recommend adding your input to the above topic to give another example of a use case and more support for the idea

Shame. What we receive through our Garmin webhook is all the data that we need. Never need to query an activity. Date, type, start location coords, distance, overall activity time.
