Setup guide

Step 1: Set up Strava

<!-- env:oss -->

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:
  • Copy

    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:
  • Copy

      {
          "token_type": "Bearer",
          "expires_at": 1562908002,
          "expires_in": 21600,
          "refresh_token": "REFRESHTOKEN",
          "access_token": "ACCESSTOKEN",
          "athlete": {
              "id": 123456,

              "resource_state": 2,
              "firstname": "Meow",
              "lastname": "TheCat",
              "city": "",
              "state": "",
              "country": null,
              ...
          }
      }
