Solved

Dear Moderators and Forum Readers, We are using the Strava API since years in our product. We are utilizing the detailed activity streams as well. In the API reference the structure of the response of activity streams are described in good detail, however there is nothing said on how the data shall be interpreted (e.g. an entry in the ,,velocity_smooth'' is 1.0m/s what does it mean, is it the actual speed on a given time or an average of a longer time period?...). We see a lot of various ,,formats'' for these streams: for some users and activities, there is a data record for each second, in some cases, we have records for every few seconds. We can see also sparse formats, with only a few record for the entire activity, or even having data records for every second, except a few, large periods without any data record. This makes implementing a general solution for interpreting the data really hard. My question is, that is there any good and detailed description about how to interpret the

I've been running into this very problem and now have 22 unsynced activities that never seem to sync. I tried clicking on the unsynced activities banner to open that export page pictured above, but it just flashes like it's trying to open a menu and then closes it directly again; so I can't get to the export. I've tried restarting my phone, but that didn't change anything. Interestingly it seems to sync "runs" just fine, but "rides" on the bicycle appear to be the ones that it won't sync. I'm on version 297.8 (1229074) which appears to be the latest version and I'm on Android 11 on Pixel 2. Is there a fix in the works for this? I'm not sure if I should cut my losses and try reinstalling the Strava app (losing those 22 activities) or if there's any hope this will be resolved at some point so they can sync? Is there anything else to try? Thanks for the help!

I recently purchased an Apple Watch (yay for me). Unfortunately, it seems to have “broken” things.  Prior to the Watch, all workouts recorded in Strava, be they native Strava recordings of runs, or cycling workouts (indoor and outdoor) reported from TrainerRoad or Wahoo were all synched back to the Health app in Apple.  Since I purchased and set up the Apple Watch, the Apple Health app is not receiving ANY workouts from Strava, even those recorded in the Strava App for the Watch. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling Strava on the phone, rebooting, and all of the steps here (https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917527-Health-App-and-Strava).  I’ve a ticket open with the help desk, but have not heard back yet. Closely related, would love the Action Button on my Ultra to be able to launch Strava.

On my Garmin Forerunner 255 I have renamed my HIIT activities as CrossFit but when automatically imported into Strava they are listed incorrectly as a Workout rather than CrossFit.  I would like a feature to be able to say I wish these imported correctly to Strava as type CrossFit rather than workout.

Hello, we are developing a Digital Social Platform dedicated to Sports Events. We would like that our users could import their Strava friends, just like Strava does with Facebook. However, it seems that Strava API doesn't support this feature. Is that true? Thanks in advance

Hi,I'm looking to use the Strava API to collect a large dataset on individuals who run. Is there a way I can list (or is there some public database) of athletes whose profiles are set to public? I'd then simply call "get athlete stats". I'd like to query through this list of individuals to create a dataset.

Hello everyone My name is Ionut, I'm a Qlik Developer, and I want to create an app with my data in this reporting tool. I created my connection, because I have a dedicate connector.  I can see one table with my data like this  But when I will try to access another table, I can't, and I need my gear ID, or club ID, or Segment ID etc, to access other tables   and so on Can you help me to access my data with this connector, I really want to create an interactive app with my activity, I'm waiting your response Thank you 😊   

I am wondering if KOM segments are or can be part of the bulk export? I recently did a bulk export and I see a CSV file called "local_legend_segments.csv", but no KOM equivalent. Perhaps I am missing it. Thank you for any insight. 

In Strava terms, what constitutes a "Workout?" This is listed as one of the acceptable activity types for this month's "Indoor Workout Challenge," and just wondering what counts. Evidently an indoor ride does not 😕😕

Bike rider for 40 years+; used to race. Today I ride to keep fit. Winter training is inddor using Kinomap and XERT.Started using Strava to aggregate my inddor sessions and a better overview. Strava also allows XERT to pull my Kinomap sessions in for a full picture of my current training state.Pleasantly surprised by the small challenges available in Strava, great motivators, and I thus wanted to join the Le Col Season Pass challenge as I felt it was both achievable and worthwhile the effort.But how do I reach the 1000 meters of elevation when only cycling indoors?For XERT sessions, these probably will only record elevtion when running in slope mode something I have not yet tried.In Kinomap, elevation gain is recorded when riding challenge mode, but it appears not to sync this data to Strava? How do I get Kinomap and Strava to sync the elevation gain?/Ulf

Like for instance, if I want to know how many Ks i hiked in 2017? Or how many hours I ran in july 2018?

I just switched from Suunto, and I miss the function that you can see everyones heatmaps. Meaning that you can always discover popular routes in an area. It would also be nice if you can click on the individual track of your personal heatmap to see that specific activity.

Hi Strava Community, Is there anyone else out there like me who does a lot of self care and training recovery and wants to log it on strava?I’d like to make it where more of us are:1. Doing preventative activities together as a group2. Sharing what we are doing as training recovery and self care to inspire others on our feed so we stay healthy and get stronger3. Providing accountability to do the training recovery work outside of the actual workouts by posting, giving kudos, tagging, and sharing what we are doing for self care.Does this appeal to anyone and how could we make this happen Strava? 

I accidentally deleted my account. The email said it can’t be undone but PLEASE tell me someone can undo it and save all my history!! 💔🤯

What exactly is Strava's 'Training Impulse'? It is  ONLY shown when you hover over a particular ride in the 'Fitness and Freshness' curve, but the term is not defined in the Strava glossary (as far as I can find) and -of course- its not  'Training Load ' (known as TSS everywhere else)) or 'Intensity' (= IF) or 'Relative Effort' (TRIMP). Can't find anything on these boards or via Gogle.Anyone?Thx.

Hello I would like to ask how to refresh the API access token which I can see on the settings/api strava web page In the documentation only shows how to refresh USER access tokens , thank you

Wanted to see if I get help with an activity title issue.I'm trying to see if it's possible to not have my ride location automatically show up in the title of my ride. I will get something like "San Antonio, Texas morning ride", when all I used to get was just "morning ride." (I know this is something Strava implemented a while back and it drives me crazy.) I can completely replace the activity title, removing the location data, and it add it back in later on. Is there a way to turn this feature off? I have friends who never get the ride location in the their auto titles. I've looked at the preferences and haven't found a way so far.Thanks for any help.

Hi - We have been tracking lifting in the weights room for more than 20 years. Velocity, force, power, distance - more than reps and sets. Is Strava looking to increase its weightlifting feature?We would love our shared customers to be able to upload their GymAware and FLEX data.Velocity based training is increasingly popular with athletes that have a focus outside of the weights room as it accounts for auto-regulation.Would anyone like to start a conversation?

The API docs as well as the swagger spec define that the type of an ActivityZone can be one of ['heartrate', 'power']. However, the API also returns at least one other type, i.e. 'pace'. When using the swagger spec to validate or deserialize responses, this may lead to validation errors.Is it possible to update the documentation and swagger spec with all supported types?Thanks!

Hi everyone,I am thinking of a script that gets the local trail conditions from my city’s trail stewards association. If the trail is closed, I want to get via the Strava API a list of users that rode the segment(s) that day to see who is damaging the trails by riding them when closed. I read the API documentation extensively and couldn’t find an endpoint that satisfied this — anyone have any ideas or is it simply not possible?Cheers,Mel

Will there be more sports? for example; bouldering, korfball and volleyball? Greeting, Floris

Good day,for the last few years we have used the Strava API without issues using the following workflow once a day:A refresh token is requestedThat refresh token is used to request the activities in a clubThe response is further processedThis morning, the activities were no longer showing up correctly. The only thing that was returned was an empty array (verbatim: "[]"). We have not changed anything about the requests or the way these requests were made. The account we use to make these requests is also an admin in the club in question, yet this changes nothing. What can be done to get things up and running again?

For RUNNERS strava live segments on Garmin devices are a great help to motivate and improve. BUT, when you are 40+ yo running a segment fast, trying to improve your PR, is difficult to read the very small characters, on a screen that is not practical to see running fast. You can fall trying to read it ... and then the sections with descent are limited? But if the problem is the small print. Improve this aspect, please! Thank you. (in other devices like Polar, it seems better implemented, for runners)

Back in the day there was a way you could run a report on a specific segment. Then you could pull data say for last year. It would tell you how mine riders and how many attempts. Now I am only seeign the options for Today, This Week, and This month. Am I missing a change?

Hello,I would like to be able to make an API call that returned an object showing start/end times, and duration, for all riders in that time period. It would not need to include any PII I would just like to analyze trail use. I know that I can manually go to Strava and look at a segment, but I would like to be able to see this data programmatically.
