This page guides you through the process of setting up the Strava source connector.

Scopes:

  • activity:read_all

For Airbyte Open Source:

Follow these steps to get the required credentials and inputs:

  • client_id and client_secret
    • Create a Strava account
    • Continue to follow the instructions from the doc above to obtain client_id and client_secret
  • refresh_token
    • Enter this URL into your browser (make sure to add your client_id from previous step:
      • https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=[REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLIENT_ID]&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://localhost/exchange_token&approval_prompt=force&scope=activity:read_all
    • Authorize through the UI
    • Browser will redirect you to an empty page with a URL similar to https://localhost/exchange_token?state=&code=b55003496d87a9f0b694ca1680cd5690d27d9d28&scope=activity:read_all
    • Copy the authorization code above (in this example it would be b55003496d87a9f0b694ca1680cd5690d27d9d28)
    • Make a cURL request to exchange the authorization code and scope for a refresh token:
    • curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/token \
      -F client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
      -F client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
      -F code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE \
      -F grant_type=authorization_code
    • The resulting json will contain the refresh_token
    • Example Result:
    •   {
      "token_type": "Bearer",
      "expires_at": 1562908002,
      "expires_in": 21600,
      "refresh_token": "REFRESHTOKEN",
      "access_token": "ACCESSTOKEN",
      "athlete": {

      ...
      }
      }
