I'm developing a Web site. The site offers users to connect to Strava. It works well. However, many of my users use the Strava app and don't even remember their credentials. I would like the oauth2 flow to use the Strava app, not the Strava site for approval. Is there a way to do it?

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out for help regarding an issue we’re facing when syncing activities to Strava using FIT files.Our app is currently using Strava’s public API (https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-Uploads-createUpload) to upload user activities in the FIT file format (https://developer.garmin.com/fit/overview/). The upload works fine — GPS tracks and total distance are correctly recorded on Strava. However, we’ve noticed that some of the statistics displayed on Strava differ significantly from those calculated by our own app.We suspect this may be due to differences in how these metrics are calculated or interpreted between our app and Strava. To avoid confusing users, we would like to specify these

I am an Android developer and I use webviwe redirect. Most of the time I cannot log in and authorize, but sometimes I can log in and authorize normally. How can I log in and authorize stably and successfully or troubleshoot the cause of the exception?my email: zdt_gz@outlook.comScreenshot of the problem:For business reasons I cannot post the login link I generatedI have contacted support@strava.zendesk.com but they said I need to ask questions

I couldn't find any relevant field in the API request for "/activities/{id}", but cycling activities have cadence information. How can I display the step count? (My Strava app shows this information)

Hi, I'm trying to build a small app for my company's Strava club to track weekly "winners" similar to how the club page shows "Distance / Total Running Time / Climbing" leaderboard entries and ran into a few issues in the process that I'd like to raise as well as a suggestion on how to mitigate why I think you built the API the way you did.My goal is to track the 1st/2nd/3rd place for each week and accumulate "medals" for people over the course of the year. Additionally, I'd like to store and keep certain things updated such as "Longest Run This Year" or "Most Elevation In A Run This Year" and post when someone sets a new record. However, I ran into a few issues with the Clubs API and would like to see if there's a different way to accomplish this OR if I can make suggestions instead:Club API doesn't return a timestamp for activities when you call getClubActivitiesById. That's fine, I can work around that by just calling via cron job every 15 minutes and can

Hello,For my personal educational reasons I am using your public API fetching activities from the group I am member of.I am using exactly this request:https://www.strava.com/api/v3/clubs/" + clubId + "/activities?per_page=100&page=1 I have only problem that I am not getting activity date in the response.This is sample JSON of the respone:```{"resource_state":2,"athlete":{"resource_state":2,"firstname":"Adam","lastname":"S."},"name":"Evening Run","distance":8751.0,"moving_time":2998,"elapsed_time":2998,"total_elevation_gain":38.7,"type":"Run","sport_type":"Run","workout_type":0}```Could you help me with the case or delegate my request to the team which can assist ?

Morning All,Does anyone know if there is existing API that allows you to retrieve list of upcoming club events along with athletes that have joined.Thanks in advanceKudos ✌️

We are seeing an empty payload being returned from the clubs endpoint for most users since this AM:https://www.strava.com/api/v3/clubs/nnnn/activities&per_page=100No errors, just a 200 and an empty array. No changes on our end, no changes to the API that I can see?I don't see anything in the API status: https://status.strava.com/

We are an application development team that uses the Strava API to access services. Our client ID is 116488.We are currently experiencing an access restriction issue: our application has reached the upper limit of the maximum number of athletes allowed to connect to the Strava API (i.e., the number of user authorizations is 9999). In order to continue to provide high-quality services to more users, we have submitted an application form at https://share.hsforms.com/1VXSwPUYqSH6IxK0y51FjHwcnkd8 to request an increase in the limit.We submitted this form 10 working days ago, but have not received any further feedback or processing notifications so far.If you need to provide more materials or information to cooperate with the review, please let us know at any time and we will actively cooperate.Thank you for your attention and support to our request!Best wishes! 

I'm trying https://tailscale.com/kb/1353/share-web-server so I can show case the web app I'm working but after Strava authorisation it sends back to localhost.

Hello everyone, I'm working on a project using the Strava API with a React + Vite frontend and NodeJS + Express backend.I’m facing an issue with the OAuth flow, specifically at the final step of getting the JWT token back to the frontend. Here’s my flowUser accesses `exemple.app` Clicks “Connect with Strava” → redirects to `api.exemple.app/auth/strava/login` The backend redirects to Strava’s OAuth URL with the proper `redirect_uri` (api.exemple.app/auth/strava/callback) After user authorizes, Strava redirects to `api.exemple.app/auth/strava/callback` Backend exchanges the code for tokens, creates a JWT, stores it in Redis, and tries to send it to the frontend via a cookie using `res.cookie(...).redirect(...)`IssueEven though I’m setting a `Secure`, `SameSite=None`, `HttpOnly` cookie, the frontend doesn’t receive it. I suspect it’s due to browser behavior around `Set-Cookie` on

It looks like Strava's GPX importer completly ignores "trkseg" XML tag. In attached file there are two segments.GPX file contains one track (trk XML tag). This track can have one or more segments (trkseg XML tag). Segment have points (trkpt XML tag). Distance should be counted as distance between all points inside one (and every) segment but not between segments.Example:Let's have one track with two segments.First segment: point A, point B, point CSecond segment: point D, point EDistance should be counted as:track_distance = distance(A, B) + distance(B, C) + distance(D, E)You count it as:track_distance = distance(A, B) + distance(B, C) + distance(C, D) + distance(D, E)(which is wrong, distance between C and D must not be in total distance)Distance between last segment point and first point of next segment must not be counted in whole distance.According to

I am the developer of an application currently using the Strava API (Client ID:  159350.We believe we haven't reached the 100-athlete limit for development applications.Could you please help us verify our current usage, and if needed, grant a quota increase?This application is intended to help a small group of runners automatically track and analyze their activities via Google Sheets.Thank you in advance for your assistance!

When calling the GET /activities/{id} endpoint, I referred to the sample JSON structure in the Strava API documentation. I noticed this section:"highlighted_kudosers" : [ { "destination_url" : "strava://athletes/12345678987654321", "display_name" : "Marianne V.", "avatar_url" : "https://dgalywyr863hv.cloudfront.net/pictures/athletes/12345678987654321/12345678987654321/3/medium.jpg", "show_name" : true } ]However, when I made the actual request, I didn't receive any highlighted_kudosers field in the response. What could be the reason for this? I want to display the avatars of these highlighted kudos users. How can I achieve this? Do I need to call additional endpoints to get this information? My question is, since the highlighted_kudosers field exists in the official documentation's sample JSON, why is it completely absent in the actual response? Here is the JSON returned by my actual requ

I want to display the power-to-weight ratio during cycling activities, and I need to obtain the athlete's weight information that matches the activity data (this information is usually available on cycling computers). However, Strava only provides the weight information from the user's last update. How can I retrieve the athlete's weight at the time the activity was uploaded? Are there any solutions for this?🤔

Dear Strava Developer Support Team,I’m reaching out to request an increase in the API Read Rate Limit for my application (Client ID:113108). The current limit is frequently exceeded, causing restrictions that make our website unavailable and disrupt user experience.To support our users and ensure reliable service, we’d like to request a higher Read Rate Limit, such as 30,000 read requests per day. We are fully compliant with Strava’s API guidelines and can provide additional details about our application if needed.Thank you for considering this request. Please let me know if there’s a specific form or further information required.Best regards,Yan

In the tutorial at https://stravalib.readthedocs.io/en/v2.2/get-started/how-to-get-strava-data-python.html in the bottom part of Step 1it seems like you should save your client secret and access token in the txt file. When we are loading the tokes inclient_id, access_token = open("client_secrets.txt").read().strip().split(",")we read the client id and the access token, which is what we need later in the tutorial. So the text in the tutorial includes an error and should be changed to client id everywhere where secret value is mentioned.

I did a light run this morning but there was something strange when I looked at the results of my running recording, it said I ran 16 kilometers at a pace of 1 even though I didn't run up to 16 kilometers so I hope problems like this can be fixed

Hello. When deauthorising an athlete from the app side (not the athlete clicking ‘revoke access’ themselves), should we see: the app being removed from the My Apps page for the deauthorised athlete? the “Number of athletes currently connected” reduce on our API connected Strava account (My API Application)?Thanks for your help. 

Today, 9th May, (3 hrs ago) our app started getting a 403 error when accessing data for all authenticated athletes (this is for refreshing access tokens, collecting data - everything). Our code has not changed and we’ve received no communication as to why this might be happening. We are not even remotely close to hitting our agreed rate limits.Interestingly we are still receiving webhook events, however when we try to collect data associated with the webhook events there’s a 403 error.Is anyone else experiencing this? https://status.strava.com doesn’t report any issues.

We have a running club in our office.I am the developer of an application currently using the Strava API (Client ID:  126230.Recently, some new users encountered the error:"Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded",even though we believe we haven't reached the 100-athlete limit for development applications.Could you please help us verify our current usage, and if needed, grant a quota increase?This application is intended to help a small group of runners automatically track and analyze their activities via Google Sheets.Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I have a list of applications we publish with Strava integration features and a lot of them have reached the athlete limits. I have filled out the form multiple times over the past few weeks and have not received a response or an update. Is there any way to expedite these athlete limit requests and make a mass update to multiple client Ids at once for those of us with White Label applications? 

Hey guys! I just filled out the API program submission form for my app. I was just wondering what the typical response time is like? Super excited to share my site with friends! Thank you!
