Strava API not returning steps


Forum|alt.badge.img+4
Hi,
 
I uploaded an activity to Strava via iPhone app. However I'm not seeing the steps or cadence data in the Strava API (athlete activities API, single activity API).
 
How do I get this number (1126)?

Looks like steps data is unavailable in Strava api

I hope the steps data will be available in the API. Our fundraising events need to show steps data.

Steps isn't available but as mentioned in that thread, if cadence is there you can do cadence*2 to get steps per minute and multiply that by moving time/60 to calculate the number of steps. Try it and see how close it is to the recorded number of steps, it may be a good alternative.
