Refresh Strava OAuth token before uploading
pwithnall opened this issue · 2 comments
Currently the Strava upload script seems to assume it has a ‘forever’ OAuth token from Strava, but Strava’s now migrated away from that. OAuth tokens expire after 6 hours, and you need to do a POST request to refresh them, using a refresh code provided in response to the initial auth request.

It would be good if 40-upload_to_strava.py supported that, since it currently fails all uploads done more than 6 hours after the previous one.
Hi, I submitted a patch that should fix this. It just runs the auth flow if your token is logged of. I understand that this may be a bit annoying, but it's the easiest I could do to get it working.
I'm starting to use Strava again after almost a year and if I see that this is too much of a hassle I will probably think on a better solution.
EDIT: I just saw that you have a much more complete PR that has not been merged yet.
