Developers & API

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 anot

Hi. I’ve earlier made an entre here, also about your offline man function. As I’ve written in a comment there part of the issues I experienced then have been resolved. Great, but now, when I’m offline and openmaps downloaded for offline use I only get the route drawn on a blank background. That surprised me out there on my bicycle.Luckily – being able to remember enough of the context – the orange line gave the little help I needed. And it was Denmark, so little chance of any serious trouble occurring.However greven how the afsende of any kind of background man differs from what must be seen as a normal expectation, the lack of usefulness seems to be potentially dangerous.You should warn of this when users attempt to download routes (or suspend the download function until background maps again appear with the routes), and you should e-mail all users about the decreased usefulness of any downloaded routes.…but given my own past experiences and reading othe

It would be cool to see a Volunteer or Trail Work tag for activities. This is slightly different than the For a Cause tag, which I think gets more use as indicating a fundraiser walk or the like. In the trail communities volunteerism is a huge deal to maintain the trails we use. At lots of big ticket ultras, volunteer hours are required for entry. It'd be so cool to have a yearly volunteer hours total on an athlete profile as well. I initially thought it should be a whole new activity type that gets stored in totals that way, but when they expanded the tags recently (ish) i thought maybe that's an easier lift. And for the naming, my first thought was trail work specifically, but I dont want to leave out other active volunteerism that keeps sport events fun and alive.

I understand this has already been posted in the forum and I’m also aware that Strava is currently experiencing delays in responding to API request. I just want to post this to let Strava know that I am on the same boat as I cannot reply to other threads. I have made my initial request on 31 Mar, and have received email to resubmit my application with further details on Apr 4. I have resubmitted on Apr 4 and have followed up with 2 emails on Apr 16 and Apr 22 respectively. My client ID is 218512, thank you Strava for reading and hopefully I will get my respond soon!

I am really sad that Strava decided to destroy usefullness of Strava Maps after May Map update. Elevation lines basically dissapeared, hillshadings is not existing anymore. Strava Map is now blind map.As you can see, I posted screenshot of hills over Bratislava. Human eye cannot comprehend elevation difference.Strava please fix your maps, because paid Strava Premium account doesnt makes sense anymore. Thank you!

Hi developer and community, it would be nice if VAM was available in the segments also in the app as well as on the PC

Hello Strava Developer Support,I would like to request production access for my personal training analysis application.Client ID: 251804 App Name: JNSIX Endurance Description: A private dashboard for triathlon and running performance analysis, route visualizer, and training load monitor (CTL/ATL) for myself and a small group of local athletes. Expected Users: Less than 10 athletes.The application complies with the Strava API Agreement and Brand Guidelines. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m building a Morse Code Translator website that uses an external API for real-time text-to-Morse and Morse-to-text conversion. The platform works well initially, but during continuous typing or rapid requests, the API responses become delayed and sometimes return outdated or incomplete data. This creates inconsistent translations on the frontend and affects the overall user experience.The application uses JavaScript Fetch API with asynchronous requests, and I suspect the issue is related to request handling, overlapping responses, or API rate limits. I’ve also noticed occasional timeout and CORS-related errors when multiple requests are triggered quickly. Since the translator updates results live while users type, managing

Has anyone experienced submitted the athlete limit increase form and not hearing definite answer about your application? I’ve submitted and followed up by email but haven’t gotten a response. Saw this reply in a different thread, but having followed up by email and not getting a reply I’m stuck on what to do next. Thanks!  

I had submitted my application and user limit increase request 20 days ago with no response. Last night, I wrote a brief email to developers@strava.com and got approved this evening.It’s very disappointing to see this forum so full of developers waiting for feedback! Below are some factors that I think may have contributed to me getting a response. I hope this will help some of you all out!My application was very descriptive (probably overly so), spelling out exactly how the API integration served my users and why I needed higher limits. The integration is simple, just reading public routes and uploading ride recordings from my app.   The app already is on the App Store, not something in development. I know for some apps/services that’s not feasible but I do think that could have helped my application get through. For what it’s worth, probably not muc

I have requested 20 days ago to launch an API for our sports group, I have not received any response to this day, I still get a message, on our ranking page, about how a new person wants to join "that I have reached the limit," i.e. one person. it has been going on for more than 20 days. can I ask you to advise me what to do? 

How you know about api this belongs from x api or z api for only api

Hi Strava Developer Team,I’m posting here to kindly ask for visibility on my developer submission / API rate limit increase request.I’m building Activ.run, a workout and running tracker app. I have already completed the Strava integration and have been using it successfully with my own personal Strava account for testing. The integration allows users to connect their own Strava account and import their own activity data into Activ.run.At this stage, the integration is not intended to replicate, compete with, or redistribute Strava data. It is designed to help users view and manage their own training data inside Activ.run after they explicitly authorize access through Strava OAuth.I originally submitted my API rate limit increase request on May 4, 2026, and I also sent a follow-up email afterward (20 May 2026 and 27 May 2026), but I have not yet received an acknowledgment, update, or decision.For reference, these ar

My API app shows as disabled, and doesn’t allow me to edit its name, callback URL, etc. I’ve not used it for a long time and wanted to start fresh.It was created well before the the API ToS restrictions but I just want it now to convert genuinely private rides to private, not public by default. Or visa-versa - all uploads are private and get converted if deemed not to involve a private destination.

The form modal when you click ‘Edit” on the API settings page is completely disabled from interaction. I can’t edit my name, callback url, etc. This is really frustrating.

HI!I’m developed a app and I need permission to increase numbers of athletes that will access strava by my app.TKS! JOÃO CLAUDIO SCHENAAPP NAME: EFITNESSCLIENT ID: 249984APP DESCRIPTION: A platform for sports coaching, It integrates with Strava to import athletes’ workouts, calculate hysiological metrics like TSS and update training sheets.USER SCALE: Around 1000 athletes to start.COMPLIANCE: We confirm  our application complies with the Strava API Agreemente and Brand Guidelines.    

I see in this forum hundreds of messages from people waiting for the Athlete Limit to be increased, I know it takes a few days, but people have been waiting weeks/months with no answer from the Strava team. I just wonder if the Strava Team is aware of this situation.

Hey everyone,I'm a developer planning to build a cycling and running training app integrated with the Strava API, and before I start I'm trying to get clarity on the AI restrictions introduced in the November 2024 API Agreement update.I understand that using Strava data to train or fine-tune AI models is clearly prohibited. What I'm less sure about is whether the restriction also covers inference-only use cases, specifically:1. Sending a user's own Strava data as context in a single prompt to an external LLM API (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini etc.) to generate a personalized training plan or coaching feedback — no model training, data used only for that one request, result shown only to that user2. Running a self-hosted local model on my own infrastructure (e.g. LLaMA, Mistral), where Strava data never leaves my server and zero training on Strava data occursHas anyone dealt with this and got a clear answer from Strava — either via the review process or by

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? 

Subject: Final Follow-Up: Ticket #14078 — 6 Weeks No ResolutionHi Strava Support,I'm following up on Ticket #14078. My original athlete capacity increase request was submitted on April 13 — that is now 6 weeks with no resolution.I have followed up multiple times via this ticket, posted on the Developer Community Hub, and have received no actionable response.At this point I need to be transparent — if I cannot get approval or at minimum a status update this week, I will need to remove Strava integration from Elite Edge Conditioning entirely and route my users through an alternative platform.I would prefer not to do that. My app is live, my users want Strava connectivity, and everything on my end is fully built and ready.All I need is a decision — approved or denied.Client ID: 219665Ticket: #14078Original Submission: April 13, 2025Please respond.Michael ChiarolanzaFounder, Elite Edge Conditioning

Prosím, je možné, abyste přidali do nabídky švihadlo? Moc děkuji.

Hi everyone,I wanted to reach out to the community (and hopefully someone from Strava) regarding quota increase requests for the API.I submitted my request on April 29th and haven't heard back yet, and looking at the forum, it seems like many of you are in the same situation — some members have apparently been waiting for over 2 months with no update.To make things worse, several members have tried following up directly at developers@strava.com, but as far as I can tell, no one has received a reply from there either.A couple of questions:1. Has anyone received a response from Strava recently regarding their quota increase request? If so, how long did it take?2. Is there anyone from Strava monitoring this forum who could share even a brief update on the current situation? We're not necessarily asking for immediate approval — just some transparency. Is there a backlog? Is the process changing? Is API access moving to a paid model?The au

I uploaded an activity through the API. It shows up in my feed, but it doesn't appear on my profile. Did I do something wrong? Is this expected?
