Just a little note, in the quest to replace Strava API data, I’ve been doing a test download of some old Wahoo activities which has worked well for the small sample I tried.
The only thing is that it seems to have discarded my settings for those activities; and I tend to do a fair bit of ignoring velocity data and HR data. Is it possible for those settings to be preserved?
I am working on an importer for that big GDPR file from Strava that will preserve as much as possible. Should have something ready next week. I have to be really careful about not creating huge numbers of dups and so on.
So I suggest holding off on doing it yourself for now.
It truly feels to me that this is the result of some sort of legal or regulatory action applied to Strava. Strava’s statements remind me or those made by other entities that were subject to lawsuit settlements. This is a matter of feel and reading a bunch in a previous career.
See the difference between David’s announcement that Zwift integration is almost complete and Strava’s to essentially cease and desist. David’s task is almost complete, indicating that he’s been working at it and probably working with Zwift. Strava’s is abrupt, showing no work with third party developers.
It would take quite some time and subscriptions to more than one case archives to tell for sure whether Strava was subject to a settlement. Even if it is, my guess would be that it’s under seal. If this is the result of an EU regulatory ruling
, I wouldn’t have the least idea how to find it.
Someone on reddit posted the below diff (I don’t know where the original file can be found) but the new licence agreement doesn’t say you cannot share a user’s data with other users but
“You must always respect Strava users and comply with their privacy choices. This includes not sharing a Strava user’s data with other users, end users of your application, or third parties without explicit consent”
The the person that sent you the email misunderstand the new licence agreement?
(I was slow in writing and see @david just crossposted)
Hi, I have an app which integrates several platforms with Intervals.
Today I added Strava integration, you can copy your activities from Strava to Intervals.
It exports original file from Strava and uploads it to Intervals.
That clause is badly written (it’s not clear whether “without explicit consent” applies to all three scenarios or just the last one). Slightly further up is a much clearer clause:
“Strava Data provided by a specific user can only be displayed or disclosed in your Developer Application to that user. Strava Data related to other users, even if such data is publicly viewable on the Strava Platform, may not be displayed or disclosed.”
So in your application you can’t show it to anyone else. If coaches are now “allowed” to see it they need to update these terms because this is a very clear prohibition on that.
Looks like the sands are shifting and we may end up with a slightly better position. However, for those that are interested in letting Strava know the strength of their feeling financially I just got a refund for 9 month’s of subscriber fees. I told them that I felt that, based on their change the API Ts and Cs, the basis on which I chose to subscribe had changed and so I wanted the remainder of my subscription (9 months) back. They paid up without any issues.
I have a few, but I have now unliked once again Strava and I don’t see them anymore, apart from those I manually added to try the features of intervals.icu
I don’t know what I am doing wrong - cuz, for sure, I am!
What that via an email you sent them after cancelling your account? Right now my archive download link = can’t find server error. I’d love to bring those strava $ here to intervals.
Thanks a lot guys for all the input. So I did, as many others export all the activities with source = Strava and reuploaded them. Worked like a charm in around 5min. Then connected Zwift up to Wahoo, which has the huge side benefit of my Zwift-Workouts now also showing on my Wahoo Rival watch. Thanks! Hope Intervals can benefit for this whole turmoil.
Have the requested download archive from Strava via email however the link results in can’t find the server. The url is "email.strava.com/https://email.strava.com/ls/click?upn=u001.OTZUsjTDwFHJlyym....... etc. "
On a MacBook with current os and have tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome with the same result. Submitted a ticket with Strava but still no reply. Anyone else experience this? It’s too soon to request another archive download.
I do have most of my rides, runs, etc. in either garmin connect or ride with gps. But oooh wee it would be some work to gather it and pare it down to eliminate duplicates or some routes. Thanks in advance.
Similar URL, apoligies for not getting the trimmed onto there as a text string.
Attempted a download from webmail prior to it getting to my local desktop mail client. Failed there as well. Have a ticket into support and will request another archive when the week limit is up
Hi,
Sorry for my ignorance in case this has already been clearly stated somewhere. I am aware of the coming strava changes to their API and that this is going to make quite some impact on apps that rely on a strava connection. Such as intervals.icu. But what exactly will this mean for those who have their strava connected? And when will this going to happen? I am worried that all my ride history will just disappear off intervals and that everything will get disorganized if I don’t take measures before hand…? So, what to do is the question hete
