Overview
Strava API lets you connect with athlete profiles, activities, segments, and performance stats from Strava's fitness tracking platform. It uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, meaning users authorize your app to access their data through a browser-based flow. It is ideal for building fitness dashboards, training log apps, or social running features.
Beginner Tip
You must complete the OAuth 2.0 flow to get an access token before calling any athlete-specific endpoint — register your app at strava.com/settings/api first. Access tokens expire after 6 hours, so implement the refresh token flow to keep your app working.
