Solved

   I have come across too many challenges on Strava that make it impossible to claim any prizes though deceptive practices for those who make the challenges. Has anyone delt with this issue before? I currently am dealing with "The Feed" for the second time with unmet rewards. They now owe me twice. Other challenges flat out offer 'money' in the description but will turn around and re-word the deals when anyone gets to the rewards pages to include Subsciptions, purchase, Expiring rewards. I'm getting tired of no help with this.Anyone else?

I'm implementing an integration between Strava and an external system based on Zapier. For each run someone does in a particular club on Strava I would like to update the profile on the other platform. The activity trigger does work fine on clubs but the information you get on an athlete is minimal. I only get resource_state, firstname and lastname (first character). Which makes it very unreliable to do profile lookups in the other platform that's linked. Is Strava considering adding a unique athlete ID for example here because this would solve my problem?

Olá pessoal!! Eu me chamo Juary e resido em Alagoinhas/BA. É um prazer está aqui e venho através desta relatar um erro apresentado na apresentação da minha atividade no Strava após importar automaticamente uma atividade coletada pelo Samsung Health. Sempre utilizei meu Galaxy Watch 4 LTE para coletar as atividades e tudo sempre funcionou perfeitamente, mas no dia 08 deste mês, percebi o erro!! O erro consiste em apresentar como dispositivo utilizado o GARMIN EDGE 305 ou invés de apresentar SAMSUNG HEALTH. Não fiz nenhuma mudança no portal Strava e nem no meu Galaxy Wacth 4. Alguém saberia dizer como corrigir esse erro? Segue print pra melhor entender: Hey guys!! My name is Juary and I live in Alagoinhas/BA. It is a pleasure to be here and I am here to report an error presented in the presentation of my activity on Strava after automatically importing an activity collected by Samsung Health. I always used my Galaxy Watch 4 LTE to collect the activities and everything always worked perf

Hi, I am a PhD student at the ECE department at Portland State University. I have been working on a Pace-Prediction problem for distance running. I recently came across this paper  Estimating the cost of training disruptions on marathon performancehttps://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspor.2022.1096124/full?&utm_source=Email_to_authors_&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=T1_11.5e1_author&utm_campaign=Email_publication&field=&journalName=Frontiers_in_Sports_and_Active_Living&id=1096124 The authors have mentioned contacting Strava to procure this dataset.What do I need to do to get the dataset used in this paper? Thanks,Sandy

Hi, I’m reaching out as a maintainer of the stravalib python package. We recently made some changes under the hood that will allow us to easily maintain the package and keep up with changes to the Strava API. We tried to keep the usage of stravalib as backward-compatible as possible with previous releases, but it is impossible to test for all potential use cases. Therefore, we created a pre-release that can be installed with `pip install —pre stravalib==1.3.0rc0`. The (known) breaking changes are documented here. Please test your package or project with this pre-release to ensure the upcoming version will not break it. If you encounter any issues or have questions, please continue the conversation at our Github repo!

Hello Strava team,I sent a email rate limit request 2 days ago, but I still haven't received any responses from you. Please get back to me because we need to increase the limit urgenly.Thank you so much

Zwift Ride did not post correctly in Strava. Ride was interrupted by short power failure. Got everything back up and running. Zwift appeared to show that I was re-joining the interrupted ride and accrued mileage from there. When activity was ported to Strava it only shows mileage and history up to the power failure. Strava also shows a prompt on the activity record that reads "Processing media  tap to see progress" at the top. But it never changes or makes any progress. I tried to download the .fit file and upload manually but Strava indicates that it is a duplicate and does not overwrite the short distance file that was posted. Any ideas? THX

I've just started trying out Strava on my galaxy watch 5 pro, and this seems like such a no-brainer but I can't find it anywhere. How do I see my distance on the app while I'm running? On my watch I can see Heart Rate, Time, and Pace/Mile, but that's it? I want to look at my watch while running and see how far I've gone, without having to wait until I've finished the run and it's synced to my phone. All of the distance info is there on my phone post-run, but how do I see it during the run?In the Samsung Health watch app it's so simple: I see Duration, Distance, Pace and Heart Rate. I can even get an audio or vibration cue at each mile. Why would anyone use Strava for running if you can't see the distance while running? Thanks in advance - hopefully I'm missing a simple setting. 

I am unable to retrieve my activities via my React application, despite using this how-to site for reference and largely copying the code over: https://javascript.plainenglish.io/strava-api-react-app-326e63527e2c. Is this not a valid request link:  https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities?access_token=<access_token_here>? Of course, that <access_token_here> part is where my current access token would be, which gets refreshed with the way I've set up my React App.js file.    For extra context, I am receiving a 401 request error upon the request being made in React: The underlying error appears to be the following: Not sure how to interpret this result.   I'd appreciate any help/insight into this for those of you who are aware of a fix/solution and/or have gone through this problem already.

My latest 36.4 mile ride will not sync to my phone and computer. I have tried everything and nothing worked

HI everyone , i realise this has been discussed before but I've just done a segment in singapore and it seems like the first 20 ppl in the segment could be flagged as most have a running pace of 2:12 ish. it seems flagging is an activity on its own. can i do multiple flags ? maybe if you don't have enough data you shouldn't be aloud on leader boards, i.e HR and cadence being the main data sources for runners  and if the  times are faster than world records they  should be flagged automatically.  

Many times my photos location is way off from place it was taken. This is because the GPS location can be very inaccurate if I take a picture with my phone quickly after turning it on.It would be nice to be able to put photos on a map at a location based on when they were taken, this can be much more accurate than GPS data. I know that there are some users that use some scripts that takes GPX and photos and then updates geolocation meta data looking for the nearest point in GPX to time when photo was taken.Could Strava perhaps also allow this option when uploading media? Place photos on GPX "when" it was taken, ignoring location data.

I run with my mobile phone strapped to my arem. A couple of times recently I can't save the run properly and see the data - it just says that the run is syncing - on some kind of endless loop. I can't see the details on my laptop either. Is there anyway I can fix this? It's really irritating as I'm trying to build up towards a 10k and it would be really useful. I don't want to just delete the info.  I haven't yet tried exporting it as a GPX file which is one of the options given.

Perhaps this is answered somewhere already, but so long as the athlete's posts are public, am I able to grab their activities with the API (as long as I've authenticated)? Or do I need them to do something for me so they're authenticated, too? I would like to create an application that can grab the weekly activities from the athletes I coach and display them on a webpage. 

Hi, I have a series 8 watch and all health connections enabled but no calorie count is showing up on my Strava when I run, can someone advise?

Can we add segments for walking as well?

I was trying to build an app for our cycling club to conduct some monthly challenges and for this i want to store athlete data in my application database and need. But when I go through the  API agreement i saw "you may not collect, use, store, aggregate or transfer any Strava Data in any manner except as expressly permitted by us for the use of your Developer Application".So how can i get permission from starve to store these data. For app like this need to store the athlete data in the database and aggregate the result to find the topers. Did anybody know how to get a permission from strata. or is this not needed? 

Can specific leaderboard filters be applied in segment URL reference?Example: https://www.strava.com/segments/33639581?filter=overallCan specific filters be applied on URL reference for example TODAY, MEN?  If so, is there a list of supported filters for use in URL references in addition to OVERALL in example above? 

When reloading the feed that has a photo, the app does not divide the photo with the map. The app places the photo occupying the entire feed.

 Hi,Completely new to Strava; I've planned a route, now would like to install waypoints at particular km intervals, lets say every 30km - the route is a few hundred kms.  How do I do this? I am hovering over the KM marker flags and trying to add a waypoint by clicking, but it is not letting me. Thanks for any help

I'm not sure how important navigation is to many on here, but I recently upgraded from an Edge 520 to the Edge 1040, and the navigation capabilities are so much better... it even alerts to upcoming dangerous (tight) corners! If I can muster the energy, I may put a quick post together on here about my experiences so far with the 1040 (navigation: great, sync: bad).  

In the Android app the Weekly Intensity does not show all my activities. For example this week the Activities this week under Weekly Intensity only shows activities from Monday through Thursday. Activities done on Friday through Sunday are not shown. Last week, my activity from Sunday is not shown. 

I just moved to a new city and decided to open up heatmaps to look for local routes. While I was under my own personal heatmap, I noticed something very strange... 2 activities were recorded in places I have NEVER been, one in Sanfran CA and the other in Seattle WA. They are not just straight lines indicating a GPS error either, and I live in MI anyway, closest I've been to either of those places is Utah and Nevada. When I zoom in on the activity, they are not just in random places either, they both appear to correlate directly over a building. What is going on here exactly? If they had been straight lines in completely random places I'd chalk it up to GPS errors, but Seattle and San Francisco? Two places a lot of scam calls and junk mail comes out of? 

We're working on an app that creates activities, and we're wondering if it's possible to add images and a hyperlink in the description? Just wondering what's possible, thanks!-Dan

Our customers are asking for privacy controls for new uploads. It appears the API was changed in 2018 and no longer supports "private" flag. Just requesting to bring back this feature.I understand the user can set the default privacy setting for new uploads through the web interface.
