Strava

Strava is a popular fitness tracking app and social network that allows athletes to track and analyze workouts including running, cycling, swimming, and 200+ other sport types. The Strava API enables developers to access athlete profiles, activities, segments, routes, clubs, gear, and time-series data streams. OAuth 2.0 is used for authentication with granular scope control. Rate limits apply: 100 requests per 15 minutes, 1000 per day.

Strava publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Activities API, Athletes API, Clubs API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Cycling, Fitness, Fitness Tracking, Running, and Sports.

The Strava catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.

Strava’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, signup flow, and 18 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/strava: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
