Unable to upload to Strava

Strava deactivated the ability to upload activities via email.

Received an email saying :

Dear Strava User,

Strava has retired the ability to upload activities via email, effective August 26th, 2015.

You can upload individual files and files in bulk using our website: https://www.strava.com/upload/select. You can read more about bulk upload here: https://strava.zendesk.com/entries/22625035-Bulk-Uploading-Activities-to-Strava.

If you’re an application developer, here’s more information on our upload API: http://strava.github.io/api/v3/uploads/

If you have any questions, please visit our support site: https://strava.zendesk.com.

Thanks,

That's a shame. Is there another way to upload to Strava that can be coded into the ant-downloader? Is anyone working on this?

You may consider Tapiriik (https://tapiriik.com/). Tapiriik can sync files between various GPS sports data sites as well as Dropbox folder.

You could download files into a Dropbox folder and Tapiriik could sync them to Strava (or other site). Not exactly elegant, but a solution.

I tried to work on using Strava API, but with no luck (it is aimed to work with another web server that we don't have in python-ant-downloader). I'm not a python developer and got stuck in the process so dropped it. I am now using http://www.copymysports.com/ that copies data uploaded to garmin into strava. I would prefer doing this using ant-downloader, but anyway it is working like that.

Hope that helps

Hi guys - I know the conversation is a little old, but for anyone else who comes to this page, I've been running a PHP website since Sept. 2015 that allows you to continue uploading via email:

Hope that helps.
