403 Error on /athlete/activities endpoint

[jebrax]

Hello everyone.

I'm having an issue when trying to request user activities from the endpoint https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities. I get a 403 (Bad Request) error, although the client secret string and user access token are fine. Here's roughly the HTML page I get in response:

403 ERROR
Bad request.

I've already seen a couple of posts here with a similar error, but no useful answers. Maybe I am doing something wrong? I would be grateful if someone could point me out on my mistake.

Thanks for reading and have a great day 🙂
