API Agreement (2026)

Effective Date: June 1, 2026

The Strava API Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Strava, Inc., or, if you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Strava Ireland Limited (“Strava”, we, us) and you. “You” means you individually or the entity that you represent. If you are entering into this Agreement for an entity, you represent and warrant to us that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to this Agreement. Here are a few highlights:

  • We expect you to create applications that are useful, inspiring and help build a community for Strava athletes.

  • You may not create applications that compete with or replicate Strava functionality.

  • You are responsible for your use of the Strava API and your applications.

  • Strava Data provided by a specific user can only be displayed or disclosed in your Developer Application to that user. Strava Data related to other users, even if such data is publicly viewable on the Strava Platform, may not be displayed or disclosed.

  • Your use of the Strava API is subject to volume limits and other use restrictions.

  • You must always respect Strava users and comply with their privacy choices. This includes not sharing a Strava user’s data with other users, end users of your application, or third parties without explicit consent.

  • You agree to use appropriate security measures to protect any data you obtain from Strava.

  • Use of Strava’s API is a privilege granted to you by Strava, not a right. Strava may modify or discontinue access to the Strava API at any time for any reason.

  • Strava makes no warranties and Strava is not liable for your use of the Strava API.

  • Strava may collect and use data related to your access to the Strava API.

  • Strava may, but is under no obligation to, feature or promote your application.

  • Your application must comply with the Strava API Agreement, the Strava API Policy, Strava's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws.

  • Strava may conduct audits to ensure your compliance with this Agreement.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE STRAVA API AGREEMENT BELOW AS IT GOVERNS YOUR USE OF THE STRAVA API.

 

The Strava application programming interface, software developer kit, documentation, and any software, materials or data that Strava makes available to you, in its sole discretion, including the API Token as defined below (collectively, the “Strava API Materials”) are made available subject solely to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which incorporate by reference the Strava Terms of Service, the Strava Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Service Terms”), the Strava API Brand Guidelines, and the Strava API Policy (the “Policy”). The Policy is incorporated by reference into, and forms part of, this Agreement. By accessing or using the Strava API Materials, you acknowledge that you have read, and agree to abide by, this Agreement including the Service Terms and the Policy. If you are unable or unwilling to comply with the current or any future version of this Agreement, you must immediately cease all use of the Strava API Materials.

 

This Agreement will evolve as our business and platform expands and as creative developers dream up new applications for the Strava service and platform (“Strava Platform”), so check back often and make sure that you are familiar with the most current version of this Agreement whenever you engage in any use of the Strava API Materials. Any amendment to this Agreement will be effective upon our posting online of such updated terms. Your continued use of the Strava API Materials after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by this Agreement, as updated and amended. Additionally, we may modify, remove or add portions of, or otherwise update the Strava API Materials in Strava’s sole discretion.

 

1.  Registration

1.1.  Once your registration is complete, you are authorized to use the Strava API Materials to develop products, sites, applications or services that are registered with us and are designed to interact with and enhance the Strava Platform (“Developer Applications”) subject to the restrictions, conditions and limitations in this Agreement and the Policy. Strava may require you to renew your registration from time-to-time or to provide additional information in order to maintain or increase your access to the Strava API Materials. To use the Strava API Materials you must use the approved developer key token provided by Strava (“API Token”). You may only use a single API Token for a single Developer Application.

 

1.2.  You are solely responsible for the confidentiality of your API Token and may not share your API Token with any other developer, third party, or use it for more than one application or service. You agree to keep your registration, site, application or service information accurate, complete, and current for so long as you use the Strava API Materials. You are responsible for all use that occurs under your API Token, including any activities by you or your employees, contractors or agents, or any third party to whom you gave access in violation of this Agreement. If you believe an unauthorized person has gained access to your API Token we issue you, you must notify us at developers@strava.com as soon as possible but no later than twenty-four (24) hours after discovery.

 

1.3.  Strava may contact you from time to time about your use of the Strava API Materials and/or API Token, and you agree to be responsive to inquiries from Strava.
