Strava could soon stop working with some of your third-party apps – here’s what you need to know


  • Strava has made some big changes to its API
  • Users are upset and angry because they preclude third-party apps from  using a lot of Strava data
  • Some have warned it could destroy the app ecosystem built up around Strava

Strava says that less than .1% of applications will be affected by a major change to its API (application programming interface) agreement, following user backlash to a series of proposed changes by the popular fitness platform.

A few days ago, Strava announced new API terms for its users and partners that will restrict the data that can be used and shown by third-party apps. Specifically, the company is introducing more privacy so that third-party apps can only display a user’s Strava activity data to that specific user.
