Since yesterday, site is not loading, having some JS errors in console. 

 Description: When editing an activity to change the assigned pair of shoes, the distance is not added to the new pair. This issue occurs both in the iOS app and in the web application. Previously, the mileage was updated correctly when modifying the shoe assignment.  Steps to reproduce: 1. Log an activity with the default pair of shoes. 2. Edit the activity and change the assigned shoes to another pair. 3. Check the mileage totals for both pairs.  The distance remains with the original pair and is not added to the new one.

Hello,I'm experiencing an issue with the Athlete Intelligence feature in the Strava app. Every time I finish an activity, I receive an error message saying "Oops – something went wrong," and no summary is generated.I’ve already tried restarting the app and resetting it completely, but the problem persists. The feature used to work fine before, so I’m not sure what’s causing this.Could you please look into this or let me know if there’s a known fix?Thank you,  Paweł Ceranowicz

Hi Strava Developer Support Team,I hope you’re doing well.My name is Gustavo, founder and head coach of IgnitRun, a training platform designed to help runners and endurance athletes monitor their progress with evidence-based coaching tools.We currently use the Strava API to sync our athletes’ activities, allowing them to review their training load, volume, and intensity distribution while working closely with their coach. This integration is essential for the value we provide to our community.Our application (Client ID 74947) is currently limited to only one connected athlete, which prevents us from properly launching the platform. We kindly request an increase to at least 200 connected athletes for our initial rollout phase. These slots will be used exclusively for verified club members.For your reference, our platform can be reviewed here:https://app.ignitrun.com/We are fully aligned with Strava’s API policies, and we do not resell

Hi team,I'm the founder of IgnitRun, a coaching platform that uses the Strava API to help runners track volume and intensity with their trainers. Our app is live here: https://app.ignitrun.com/Right now, our project (Client ID 74947) is limited to only 1 connected athlete, which blocks our launch. We kindly request an increase to 200 athletes for our initial rollout.We comply fully with Strava’s API policies and only use the data to support our athletes’ training—not for resale.Thanks in advance for your help!

It looks like that there is no such option. But I think it may be a great addition for any club to have an option to least events on their website/app and even have a button for people to join their events. Could propel event usage a lot and improve quite a few metrics.Totally separate thing but another missing feature from user's perspective is to join Repeated events. With two options: Join this event and all following events, join only this this event. The same for leaving the events.Both these features will increase Event-related metrics drastically

Hi there, I noticed with a newer Strava update the team has provided the ability for users on event creation to add pace groups and the type of event (format) e.g. social but these fields aren’t available yet via the API are there plans to add them or is there a new endpoint that hasn’t been added to the docs that exposes these fields?Thanks, keep up the good work - Calvin 

We are using https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=...&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://ictrainer.com&approval_prompt=force&scope=activity:write%2Cactivity:readto login the user initially. But if an user was loged in in the browser yet the login for the new user does not force a new login. How can we force this? All other platforms allows in the oauth-authorization process that the complete user login is forced. 

I have a functioning webhook but need to update the callback URL as this will be changing. First I tried simply creating a new subscription but found I couldn’t since you can’t have more than 1 active at a time. So then I tried to delete the existing subscription to recreate it - but running into the following error:{ "message": "Resource Not Found", "errors": [ { "resource": "PushSubscription", "field": "", "code": "not found" } ]}I have double checked that it’s the right sub id using the GET request to https://www.strava.com/api/v3/push_subscriptions.This query is successful which also rules out an issue with my client_id and client_secret (I am using postman and leveraging variables so know they ar

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. 

Hi. I would like to be able to plan ski routes without being restricted to predefined trails. It makes no sense for skiing to limit the track to fixed paths: it should be possible to freely draw your own route on the mountain.  

HelloPlease help us checking if everything is correct with our API acces by "data" app.When we call to API for example to List Athlete Activities, returns error: {"message":"Authorization Error","errors":[{"resource":"AccessToken","field":"activity:read_permission","code":"missing"}]}We've try to :- correct access permission by Revoking Acces to "data" app and Allowing again - we gets the same error- Generate New Client Secret - works fine, refreshing token works fine but at the end again the same error 

Hi Strava Developer Team and Community,I'm building a personal accountability app called RunStreaks that helps runners maintain daily running streaks. After reviewing the November 2024 API policy updates and the feedback on my initial submission, I've made significant changes to ensure compliance.Before I resubmit, I wanted to open it up for public review and get some feedback from this community.Here's the live site: https://runstreaks.io I'm the only runner on there right now, but you can see the concept. I've done my best to remove literally everything possible to stay compliant while still maintaining the core idea in its most minimal form. I've worked pretty hard on this app, and I don't want to do another submission just to get rejected again. So I was hoping I could get some honest feedback before I make any final changes an

저는 서울에 사는 러너이고, IT/데이터 분야에서도 일하고 ​​있습니다. 3년 정도 러닝을 하다 보니 문득 이런 생각이 들었습니다. Strava에 이미 제 데이터가 다 있는데, 숫자만 보는 게 아니라 제가 어떤 유형의 러너인지제대로 파악할 수 있지 않을까요 ?그래서 저는 제 데이터를 직접 조사하기 시작했습니다.GPX를 구간별로 나누고, 페이스/고도/심박수를 합산하여 페이스가 떨어지는 지점을 찾았습니다. 분석이 복잡해지기 시작했기 때문에 AI에게 패턴을 해석해 달라고 요청했습니다.놀랍게도, 그것은 나에게 의미 있는 통찰력을 제공했습니다.예를 들어: 오르막길 직후 HR 급증 → 오르막길 직후 속도 급락 너무 빨리 시작 → 후반에 불가피한 추락 바람/온도가 예상보다 성능에 더 큰 영향을 미칩니다. 평균 페이스는 괜찮은데 안정성 이 너무 안좋아요(ㅋㅋㅋ) 그것은 완전한 사이드 프로젝트로 바뀌었고, 지금은 알고리즘을 개선하는 한편 친구들의 GPX 파일도 분석하고 있습니다.궁금하시다면, 직접 분석을 시도해 보실 수 있는 작은 Notion 페이지를 준비해 두었습니다. 링크는 여기 있습니다!https://www.notion.so/InMyRace-AI-러닝-코치-베타-가입-2b6b8fd0382d80daa354f1ebd4727829?source=copy_link

I’m a runner based in Seoul, and I also work in the IT/data field.After running for about 3 years, I started wondering…Since Strava already has all my data, shouldn’t it be possible to understand what kind of runner I actually am, not just look at numbers?So I began digging into my own data.I broke the GPX into segments, combined pace/elevation/heart rate, looked for points where my pace dropped…And since the analysis started getting complicated, I asked AI to interpret the patterns.Surprisingly, it gave me some meaningful insights.For example: HR spikes right after an uphill → pace collapse shortly after Starting too fast → inevitable crash in the second half Wind/temperature affect performance more than expected My average pace is okay, but my stability is terrible (lol) It turned into a full side project, and now I’m analyzing my fr

For an url like https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/{id}/streams?keys=time,latlng,altitude,heartrate,cadence,distance,moving,wattsI’m currently seeing the following response headers:  content-type, content-length, connection, date, server, vary, x-envoy-upstream-service-time, x-cache, via, x-amz-cf-pop, and x-amz-cf-id, but *not* the rate limit headers described at https://developers.strava.com/docs/rate-limits/ What gives? Is the documentation out of date? Have the rate limit headers been deprecated? Am I seeing proxy-cached content that strips the rate limit headers or something like that? If the rate-limit headers are absent, does that mean the request doesn’t count against quotas?

The recently updated base map almost completely does away with any indication of topography. Instead a flat, green, and boring map is underneath an even less detailed activity outline. Bring back the old base map please.

I have created a miniapp in Farcaster, and I am using one API… I am getting issues to get users authorizate Strava via my app, do I need special rights?  Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing an issue with the Strava OAuth mobile authorization flow.I have a system that automatically updates each Strava activity’s description with a URL to my platform: https://pacerai.vn/.When users click this link inside the Strava activity description (in the mobile app), they are taken to my website. After that, they tap the “Login with Strava” button, which redirects to:https://www.strava.com/oauth/mobile/authorizeProblem:When users come from a Strava activity description → open my link → tap “Login with Strava”, the redirect to Strava’s OAuth page does not work.However, if users manually open Safari → type in https://pacerai.vn/ → tap “Login with Strava”,

On android, every time I go to the home tab it asks me to accept the updated terms and services policy. I have accepted it dozens of times but it continues to pop up. Anyone have a fix?Thanks 

Hello! I have noticed that if I start an activity on the Strava app on my Pixel watch 2, it times out at 9 minutes Has anyone experienced this? And any ideas on how to fix it? 

 Hi everyone,I am working on the integration of our Decathlon Coach with Strava. We are uploading activities via FIT files.We are facing a persistent issue regarding how Strava calculates Moving Time versus Elapsed Time, leading to incorrect stats for our users.The Context: Our users record running activities using our app. Often, these are continuous runs with no pauses (the user never hits the pause button). Consequently, our FIT files contain the trackpoints and the total Elapsed Time, but no specific "Pause" or "Resume" events.The Problem: Upon upload, Strava ignores the duration recorded in the file and attempts to recalculate the Moving Time based on the GPS data. Because of GPS drift or slower sections, Strava’s algorithm interprets parts of the run as "resting time" and removes them.The Result:

I noticed that some (not all) user profile pictures from cloudfront.net (DetailedAthlete’s ‘profile’ and ‘profile_medium’ urls) now return an access denied error.Is this a bug or a new privacy feature (that renders the DetailedAthlete profile urls useless)?Many older profile urls from cloudfront.net still work fine...

I have unwanted followers, when i block and remove them from the follower page, they still appear, then when i tried removing again, when i tapped on their profile, it said there was a server error
