Get all public segment data from local area

[dannyJ]

I want to create a data visualization personal project for fun. I want to make an interactive map to display public segment data. To compare personal times with others. Also to possibly highlight locals who have great times throughout the city (Im from NYC and want to only use segment data from the city).

While doing my initial research for this problem I see many posts and forums talking about how Strava doesn't  let you get this data anymore even if you're a paid user(I am a paid user). Is this true? Or am I seeing info on something else and getting myself confused?

I really just want data on times and perhaps usernames(or athlete ID if usernames aren't allowed).

If anyone knows about this please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks for your time while reading this and any help you could throw my way!!

Hello dannyJ,

Take a look at our documentation on segment efforts, https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-SegmentEfforts 

The athlete you want the data for would 1. need to be a subscriber and 2. be authenticated for their app. If both of those are true, then you can get the data!
