problem when upload GPX file activity

[tobisoft]

hello!

My name is Tobias and I have an app for cyclists in which I am implementing a functionality in which users can upload activities in GPX format to their account. I am testing the api service and I am having an error that I cannot remove. According to all the documentation I was looking at the file I am sending is correct but the api tells me that it is not correct. I’m sending you the details of the tests I’m doing to see if you can help me figure this out. I appreciate your help.
Have a good evening.

The call is:

curl --location 'https://www.strava.com/api/v3/uploads' \

--header 'Authorization: Bearer ....' \

--form 'activity_type="Ride"' \

--form 'name="Test Walk"' \

--form 'description="Test walk for cyclon"' \

--form 'trainer="0"' \

--form 'commute="0"' \

--form 'data_type="gpx"' \

--form 'file=@"ftYnBaTC2/strava.gpx"'

the file GPX to send:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<gpx

Hey Tobisoft,

Thanks for the post. Take a look at our doc on Uploading to Strava. You will be able to reference info around file formats.
