    Hi, I have the same issue, it seems like an error on Strava's side because I'm executing the command (in the terminal of my website server) exactly the same as on the documentation page https://developers.strava.com/docs/webhooks/

     

     

    curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/api/v3/push_subscriptions -F client_id=XXXXXX -F client_secret=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY -F callback_url=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -F verify_token=STRAVA ​

     

    where:
    XXXXXX - Client ID of my application from https://www.strava.com/settings/api
    YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY - Client Secret of my application from https://www.strava.com/settings/api
    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - callback URL of my website domain provided in the Authorization Callback Domain field during the editing of my application on https://www.strava.com/settings/api

    The response I get is:

     

    {"message":"Bad Request","errors":[{"resource":"PushSubscription","field":"bad","code":"request"}]}

     

    I would greatly appreciate your assistance, Strava Developers.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    new day... new attempts... and finally! I managed to solve the problem!

    What I changed:

    1. On the website https://developers.strava.com/docs/webhooks/, the Example Validation Request I was receiving didn't look like this:

     

    https://mycallbackurl.com?hub.verify_token=STRAVA&hub.challenge=15f7d1a91c1f40f8a748fd134752feb3&hub.mode=subscribe

     

    but like this:

     

    https://mycallbackurl.com?hub_verify_token=STRAVA&hub_challenge=15f7d1a91c1f40f8a748fd134752feb3&hub_mode=subscribe

     

    exactly:

    hub.verify_token -> hub_verify_token

    hub.challenge -> hub_challenge

    hub.mode -> hub_mode

    2. This is important because during the Subscription Creation Request execution, the Strava server immediately validates my webhook using the Subscription Validation Request, and I hadn't implemented handling for that yet (yesterday).

    3. In response to the Subscription Validation Request, even though I received the hub_challenge parameter, I still have to return a JSON response:

     

    {"hub.challenge": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"}

     

    where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the string sent by the Strava server via the Subscription Validation Request in the GET parameter hub_challenge.

    All of the above changes resulted in success, as I received a Webhook ID from the Strava server, indicating the successful registration of my webhook in Strava.


    I hope my notes will help other people who encounter a similar issue. Thanks for your attention, my mistake is resolved.

    Best regards!
