Good morning,
I have a question about activity upload via api.
I have a TCX file built manually, thus not coming from a device like Garmin. This file contains elevation data (<AltitudeMeters>...</AltitudeMeters>).
If I try to upload this activity via api (https://www.strava.com/api/v3/uploads), the activity appears among my activities (https://www.strava.com/athlete/training), but shows an elevation of 0.
Using the web interface (+ >> Upload activity >> Choose file):
1) before clicking Save & View, the activity appears among my activities, without elevation
2) after clicking Save & View, the elevation appears and is correct.
It seems like the api call stops at step 1, and the elevation is missing. Is it possible to obtain the same result (steps 1 and 2) using apis?
Question
Upload via api skips elevation computation
