Setting up tokens and stuff

https://developers.strava.com/docs/getting-started/

http://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=99749542&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost/exchange_token&approval_prompt=force&scope=read

Get your client ID and secret from the Strava API settings and store it in a file named client_id and client_secret.

client_id=$(cat client_id)

Pass it into

http://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=[REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLIENT_ID]&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost/exchange_token&approval_prompt=force&scope=read_all,profile:read_all,activity:read_all

Paste into browser, go, and click Authorize.

It will say Unable to connect or something. Copy the resulting URL and pull out the value for the code parameter.

grep -oP 'code=\K[^&]+' http://localhost/exchange_token?state=&code=[AUTHORIZATION_CODE]&scope=read,activity:read_all,profile:read_all,read_all

http://localhost/exchange_token?state=&code=d590b5c08c67ed2ce4d2f251a3595d1ff43ffa03&scope=read,activity:read_all,profile:read_all,read_all

Make a curl request with authorization code.

curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/token \
	-F client_id=$(cat client_id) \
	-F client_secret=$(cat client_secret) \
	-F code=$(cat authorization_code) \
	-F grant_type=authorization_code

{
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_at": 1709015195,
  "expires_in": 21600,
  "refresh_token": "REDACTED",
  "access_token": "REDACTED",
  "athlete": {
    ...
  }
}

Use the value for the key "access_token" to make you API calls.

Refresh Token

If the access token expires you can get a new one using the refresh token.

curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/token \
  -d client_id=$(cat client_id) \
  -d client_secret=$(cat client_secret) \
  -d grant_type=refresh_token \
  -d refresh_token=$(cat refresh_token)

Test Server

python3 -m http.server

Polyline

The API returns a polyline that you can use to draw the route. Kinda cool.

May need to update API restrictions here when your IP address changes.
