Developers & API

Hi,I’d like to know how Strava handles cases where two activities from the same athlete are uploaded within a short time interval — for example, if both have overlapping timestamps.Does Strava automatically detect and filter one of them as a duplicate?I’m asking just to better understand the logic behind this behavior when explaining it to others.Thanks!

I'm currently working on integrating my climbing app with Strava, and I've hit a bit of a roadblock. When I manually create an activity on Strava through the browser, I have the option to enter the elevation. However, when I try to do the same thing programmatically using the createActivity API, I can't seem to find an option to specify the elevation.This is crucial for my climbing app's functionality, and without it, integrating with Strava is kind of pointless. Can anyone shed some light on what I might be missing here? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

So with app devs getting caught in the Strava vs Garmin saga, can you at least swiftly add the device_name parameter to the /athlete/activities list?This way we won’t need to make additional API calls to the /activities endpoint just to check every single activity’s device…<sigh> 

New problem, or return of an old problem? The app won't even open now and I receive an error message about a glitch... it tells me to wait and reinstall the app once Strava fixes the glitch. When can we expect normal function again? 

Yth. Tim Dukungan Strava, Saya menghubungi Anda untuk meminta pembatalan langganan Strava yang terlanjur aktif di akun saya. Saya tidak pernah secara sadar menyetujui langganan ini, dan baru menyadari adanya tagihan setelah transaksi diproses. Saya sudah mengajukan permohonan pengembalian dana melalui Google Play dan saat ini sedang menunggu proses yang disebutkan akan berlangsung selama 1–4 hari kerja. Berikut beberapa detail yang mungkin membantu untuk menelusuri akun saya:Jumlah yang ditagihkan: Rp 609.390,00Perangkat yang digunakan: Android Saya mohon bantuan tim Strava untuk:1. Membatalkan langganan yang sedang aktif.2. Meninjau kasus ini dan mendukung pengembalian dana agar dana saya bisa dikembalikan. Silakan hubungi saya jika dibutuhkan informasi tambahan. Terima kasih atas perhatian dan bantuannya. Hormat saya Fierryan nugaraha

Dear officials and executives of the Strava application:          Hello! In the usage statistics of the Strava app, I am not aware of which rules of the community have been violated by my usage of this account. And after making the inquiry, no response was received. I would like to know the reason. I really like the design and functionality of Strava. This is helpful for my activities and also allows me to explore new routes and destinations. And you can also make new friends who share the same interest in sports. However, when using the Strava application, I found that the official or the system sent me an email, which made me feel very frustrated. I don't know what I should do next because the email informed me that my account might be suspended. But I hope I can cooperate with the staff of the official organization. If they need any proof from me, I will provide it without any problem. So please inform me of the relevant issues to prevent any problems with my account.

I'm a software engineer interested in developing applications using the Strava API. I've reviewed the API terms and I understand that developing features already in Strava is not allowed. If I were to invest time in developing an application and some of those features were later incorporated into Strava, would Strava consider this an API terms violation?  Have other developers experienced anything like this?Thank you

Hello,I try to identify what is the “external provider” of activities.We have a field called external_id, but it can contain a “.tcx” file name.I can identify the Garmin activities because the external_id starts with : “garmin_ping_xxx”But for other providers like Polar or Fitbit we only have a TCX filename.How to get the real external provider name ? (A code or id would be better of course)Bonus question: Is there an official list of all providers supported by Strava ?Regards.Thanks. COil. Related posts :   

Hello first of all thanks for the awesome app and easy to use API!Im pulling the club data and everything works just perfect!/clubs/{id}/activitieshttps://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-Clubs-getClubActivitiesByIdBut unfortunetly in the reponse is no activity date field 😞[ { "resource_state" : 2, "athlete" : { "resource_state" : 2, "firstname" : "Peter", "lastname" : "S." }, "name" : "World Championship", "distance" : 2641.7, "moving_time" : 577, "elapsed_time" : 635, "total_elevation_gain" : 8.8, "type" : "Ride", "sport_type" : "MountainBikeRide", "workout_type" : null } ]So I was wondering if by any chance you could add activity date field to the response 🙏🙏

Hi everyone, I am integrating a rowing machine with Strava using FIT file uploads. During testing, I ran into two issues:  VirtualRow with mapWe would like to upload a virtual course,like Kinomap and Zwift does GPS coordinates are included in the FIT-File When uploading as “indoor/trainer” using the api, the map is no longer shown We use the strava-v3 api for uploads return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { api.uploads.post( { sport_type: "VirtualRow", // @ts-expect-error typings say Buffer, runtime wants path file: file, //file ref name, description, trainer: userSetting ?

I'm using Python to return the "explore segments" query and would like to know how the top-10 segments are chosen.For example, in the Developers Playground it says that the GET explore segments, "returns the top 10 segments matching a specified query". How is "top-10" defined? Is it using the most popular segments in the geography boundary to search or some other designation?How can I view all and not just the top-10 segments?Also am I able to search for a segment using the detail that gets returned in the query instead i.e., distance, avg. grade, elevation gain, etc.? The query is very limited when just being able to search based on "the latitude and longitude for two points describing a rectangular boundary" and the "activity type" especially when I'm searching for a run segment so the climbing category is not relevant.Thanks!

Using strava_client 2.1.3 for authorization to obtain token, the code is as follows:ExampleAuthentication(stravaClient).testAuthentication( [ AuthenticationScope.read_all ], "stravaflutter://myfitnessapp.com",).then((token) { setState(() { isLoggedIn = true; this.token = token; }); _textEditingController.text = token.accessToken;}).catchError(showErrorMessage);Strava backend configuration:Website: stravaflutter://myfitnessapp.com Authorization callback domain: myfitnessapp.comOur app can open the Strava app's authorization page, but clicking "Authorize" shows an error.

Dear Strava API Team,I am writing to request an increase in the athlete authorization limit for my Strava API application.Application Details:Application Name: Sebuse Pro 2025Client ID:  181334Current Use: Club Dashboard for SEBUSEPRO 2025 (Club ID: 1790936)Request:I would like to request an increase in the maximum number of athletes who can authorize my application from the default limit to at least 400 athletes.Use Case:I have developed a dashboard application for our running club (SEBUSEPRO 2025), which currently has 48 active members but onward will be around 400 athletes. The dashboard helps our club members to: View leaderboards and performance statistics Track individual and team activities Monitor training progress with activity duration filters (30–90 minutes) Export activity data for further analysis Each member needs to authenticate with Strava to share their activity data (with consent), enabling the dashboard to display comprehensive club-wide statistics and recent a

How is this STILL not a feature in 2025. JFC of all the features y’all keep developing this would move the needle SO FAR for your power users. Literally every bike shop, club, cycling community in the world would use this feature. How many times do we have to ask for this.

Currently, my personal Strava account is tied to the Developer API Application that I'm using for a running app I helped develop. I want to transfer this to a new developer taking over for me. How can I do this? I just emailed support.

I submitted a request for activation of more athletes and it was approved (increased number of allowed athletes to 999). And now I still get:
