Developers & API

Hello Strava Team, I am requesting production access approval and an athlete connection limit increase for my application. Client ID: 161609App Name: VorcelabRequest increase: Production app approval + athlete connection limit increase to 1000 athletesDate submitted: May 11, 2026 Vorcelab is a running and trail training analysis application connected to Strava. The app allows users to connect their own Strava account through OAuth and import their own activities in order to analyze training history, workload, elevation, effort distribution, progression and performance trends. The application is designed to provide training insights and coaching-related analysis based on the authenticated athlete’s own data. It does not replicate Strava’s social features, does not expose other athletes’ private data, and does not allow users to access data from athletes who have not explicitly authorized the app. 

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 Strava Team,We submitted our Developer Program form on 3 May 2026 and received the confirmation email the same day. It has now been nearly 4 weeks with no update, which is well past the 7-10 business day estimate mentioned in the confirmation.App details:App Name: SSA Challenges App Client ID: 250614 Associated Club: Supplement Superstore Fitness Club Requested Limit: 500 athletesWe're an Australian supplements business using the API to run monthly fitness challenges for our customer community. We only require read access to activity data for challenge leaderboards.Could someone please check on the status of our review? We have participants waiting to connect.

Hello Strava Team,I am officially requesting to move my application to Production mode to lift the current 1-athlete limit and begin public beta testing.Application Information:- Name: RunMyTrack- Client ID: 167824- Website: https://runmytrack.com- Privacy Policy: https://runmytrack.com/privacyProject Description:RunMyTrack generates running playlists calibrated zone-by-zone to the user's pace and heart-rate zones. The app uses Strava activity data to auto-fill cadence, max HR, and recent race pace, which it uses to calculate precise BPM targets for each training zone (Z1–Z5). Every track in the playlist is matched to the runner's actual cadence, so the music naturally drives effort instead of fighting it.Strava API Usage:We use the API in read-only mode to:- Read the user's recent activity history to extract average cadence and pace- Read max HR from activity streams for heart-rate zone calibration

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!

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.

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?

Hello everyone,I am looking for some guidance regarding the Strava Developer Program review process.I submitted a request on April 29 to increase the athlete capacity limit for my application.Ticket number: 14925Client ID: 221219At the time, I was informed that the review process would take approximately 7 to 10 business days. However, this timeframe has already passed, and I have not yet received a clear status update regarding the approval.My web application is already fully developed and ready to be launched. At this point, the launch depends exclusively on the approval of the athlete capacity increase, since the current limit prevents additional athletes from connecting through the Strava API.I have already contacted developers@strava.com, but I would like to know if there is any recommended way to follow up, escalate the request, or confirm whe
