Hello, we are waiting for our rate limit increase for 2 months now… We are paying for strava subscription, but we are still with default 10 accounts limit. Our client ID: 230756

Hi,We run a running club and are developing a web application to automatically publish our events to Telegram, Strava, and Instagram.Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a method in the current documentation that would allow us to create an event in a club. Could you please let me know whether such a method exists? If it does, could you share the documentation for it?If there is no such method, are there any plans to add one, and if so, when might it become available?A search in the community showed that I’m not the only one interested in this functionality, and I believe it would be useful for many people.I would be very grateful if you could take our feedback into account 🙏

Hello, my app is limited to 10 users for now. I want to handle on my side the 403 "too many people connected" error.Do you know if there is a way to know if we have reached the capacity limit before the user can connect? Or have a callback instead of getting stuck on the 403 message on Strava. I want to explain in my app, in French and in non technical term what’s going on. From time to time some users disconnect so, it’s not always the case (I can’t block the auth totally).

Once again, strava owners act like egotistical little brats, who have never had anything and think the whole world is their playground and no one else can play in it, prohibiting anyone who tries to do so. I sincerely hope you pay dearly for it, that people open up their eyes and stop using it (there are so many other - some quite better - options) and developers stop trying to work on it to improve it’s flaws, since you decide, from time to time, to demote their effort by treating their work as garbage and cutting it’s access by making changes to the API. It’s a shame you keep doing the same thing over and over and never learn with your shitty mistakes. Poor little you...

Hi everyone!Music is a huge part of most of our workouts. There’s always that perfect beat that pushes us to keep going when we’re completely exhausted and hitting failure.That’s why I think it would be fantastic to be able to share songs or even full playlists directly on Strava as part of our activity posts.My suggestion is to create an integration with major music streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, etc.) that lets us attach specific song snippets or tracks to our Strava activities — similar to how Instagram Stories works.What do you guys think? Would you use this feature?

My API is not working anymore from as today.And not even for fetching my own data :-(

Can we please have the option to remove the notifications to join a clubs event that we haven’t marked ourselves as going. It just makes me want to remove clubs or else I’m getting overloaded with club event notifications that I can’t remove. It doesn’t make me w at to join them any more when I’m getting so many notifications a day.

I'm a Standard Tier developer who made API requests in earlier this year and should qualify for the 3-month free subscription code per the June 1 developer program update according to this source: https://communityhub.strava.com/insider-journal-9/an-update-to-our-developer-program-13428 However, I haven't received the email.How can I receive a code or confirm my eligibility? 

Client ID: 101852My API access request has been rejected three times, but each time I only received a generic rejection message. Because of that, it’s very difficult to understand what is actually missing or what needs to be fixed.I have already addressed everything I could based on the Strava API guidelines and previous feedback. Could you please provide more specific and granular feedback on why my application is still being rejected? Knowing the exact issues would help me resolve them instead of making changes based on assumptions.I also have one question regarding my Fitness Challenges app.The app includes a leaderboard where I display other participants’ names, total points (calculated using my own scoring formula), total distance, and total elevation. As I understand the Strava API policy, we should not expose another user’s distance and elevation data. However, in the context of a fitness challenge, showing only the points is not very useful. Participants need to know how much d

because subscription must be done ...

Hi Strava Team,I'm the developer of Run With Me, a social running app that helps runners connect and sync their activities. Athletes authorize access via OAuth, and we display their running data (distance, pace, activity history) inside the app.We've now reached more than 10 active athlete connections through the API, and the integration is working reliably. I'd like to request an increase to our access level so we can continue onboarding athletes beyond the default limit.App details:App name: Run With Me Purpose: Social running platform (connect runners, sync and display activities) Client ID:250136 Data used: activity data (distance, pace, time), profile basics — displayed to the athlete within the appCould you please advise on the next steps to raise our rate/connection limit, or let me know if any additional information is needed from our side? Happy to provide screenshots or a demo.Thank you for your time and for maintaining the platform.Best regards,Tural YusifovRun With Metural.

Hi Strava team,I'm requesting an increase to our application's athlete capacity.App: Korva (Client ID 232688)Korva is a platform for personal virtual fitness challenges. Users can choose to walk, run or cycle toward a personal distance goal at their own pace.Korva does not host virtual races or time-based competitions. Participants are not competing to finish first or achieve the fastest time. Each user completes their own personal challenge independently, with no deadline to finish.The app includes personal progression features such as levels, achievements and optional rankings based on challenge progress. These are designed to motivate users over time rather than determine winners of a race or competition.Users voluntarily connect their Strava accounts so their own activities can be imported automatically and their individual progress can be updated within their personal challenge.Our application has reached the current limit of 10 connected athletes, and we are no longer able to onb

Hi Strava team and community,I submitted an Extended Access Tier request via the developer form on June 4 for BLOOMLAB FLUX (Client ID 228751) and would appreciate a status check or any guidance.What FLUX is: a nutrition-timing PWA for endurance athletes. It is a direct integration — athlete data is processed in-house to generate fueling/hydration guidance and is never shared with any third-party platform. We show "Powered by Strava" and "View on Strava" across the app per the brand guidelines (Support URL: https://flux.bloomlab.kr).Why I am asking: we already have active athletes training on FLUX and syncing real workout data, with more users waiting to connect. We are currently capped at 10 connected athletes, which creates a chicken-and-egg situation versus the ~100-user expectation.Request: would a phased increase (e.g., 10 to 100) tied to actual usage growth be possible? I have seen this tiered approach mentioned here before, and it would let us onboard waiting users responsibly.H

Hi everyone, and hi Strava team,Quick question following the June 1 Developer Program update.Client ID: 218716 (Cycling Challenge - charity, 13 years on Strava)Previous tickets: #13323 (April 3) and #14218Original application resubmitted: April 4, 2026I've self-upgraded to Standard Tier (10 athletes) under the new structure - thank you, that's a helpful first step. But we need Extended Access Tier for our ~200 charity riders raising funds for children's brain cancer research.I emailed developers@strava.com to ask whether our existing pending application from April is automatically being considered under the new Extended Access review, or whether we need to resubmit through the updated form. The reply was an automated message pointing me to the documentation,  which doesn't answer the question.Could someone from the Strava team please clarify the process for applications that were already in the queue before June 1?Many of us in the forum are in the same situation and would benefit from

Hey there,I have configured the app yesterday and want to change the callback domain (since we are going live)and the modal form that opens is disabled. Help? 

Hi,I'm currently building an MVP and have a few questions before I continue.Right now, my app can only pull my own Strava data. My goal is to let thousands of users connect their own Strava accounts so the app can read each person's activity after they sign in and give consent through OAuth. Is this supported?If it is, could someone briefly explain how the upgrade process works from the Standard Tier to support more users? What does the review process look like?Also, what API limitations and pricing should I be aware of after that?Thanks!

You probably have received THE EMAIL. Little summary:Good news everyone: Strava just sent an official update and it looks like they were listening.Here's what's changing and what it means for those of us stuck on the athlete limit:The immediate fix: Standard Tier developers can now self-upgrade to 10 athletes directly from the API settings dashboard, no form, no queue, no waiting for a response from developers@strava.com, I have emailed them 10 times in the last 2 weeks, so they will be happy as well I think. Go do it now, I would.The new tier structure:Standard Tier: up to 10 athletes, self-managed, no formal review Extended Access Tier: higher rate limits, greater user capacity, prioritized developer support, access to Partner APIs, and no Strava subscription requiredGo to strava.com/settings/api to see what TIER you’re in.Key dates to have on your radar:June 1, 2026: changes are live.

It looks like a huge percentage of posts over the past few weeks and months on here are about Strava’s utter silence regarding the Connected Athlete / Rate Limit increases that are going unresolved, and the non-response from developers@strava.com . Perhaps it could be helpful if everyone in this same boat (I’ve been waiting 7 weeks, with no response) to all post here, and we can coordinate a list of all Client IDs and what they’re wanting (Athlete Limit increase, Daily Rate Limit Increase, etc), and provide that to Strava to streamline for their developers (best case), or take it somewhere more visible online to draw attention to this situation (worst case, if things are still up in the air for a while). It’s not the waiting that’s necessarily the issue (although we all want to be able to move forward with our applications) - it’s the complete silence, and not knowing whether it’ll be another week or 6 months before we can expect a response. Right now, this forum is just a flood of peo

Excuse me, I joined the Strava Developer Program last year, but recently when I wanted to increase the number of connections, it prompted me that I need to subscribe and pay to use it. I want to confirm if all developers now need to subscribe and pay to use it. Can paying increase the number of users
