Total Elevation Loss in Events Summary API Export

[John_Peters_endura.f]

When I pull a summary of activities using the “activities” API end point one of the standard fields is Total Elevation Gain. Is it possible to also get Total Elevation Loss as a standard field.

I appreciate this is probably possible by adding a custom field, but I would then need to get teams to add this field to each rider and reprocess lots of historic data, and I’m lazy!!

Thanks

I finally got this done. For activities from fit files the total_ascent and total_descent fields from the session message are used. Otherwise they are computed from the altitude stream.

Note that “Descending” is not available for Strava activities yet. I will deploy that Thurs AM.
