Authentication from other Strava users

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.

As far as I know, it is not possible to directly get an athlete's activities that is not the authenticated athlete. However, this looks promising https://developers.strava.com/playground/#/Clubs/getClubActivitiesById. I would have all of the athletes you are joining join a club (which also might address the use case itself) and then you might be able to get their activities.

Yup. Exactly what I ended up doing! 🙂
