spikeheap/strava_heatmaps

Strava heatmap visualiser

This project was part of RemoteHack #4, and was created by @nimphal and @spikeheap.

The premise of this hack was to take your Strava activities, and generate something like the heatmap (e.g. https://www.strava.com/athletes/39726/heatmaps/285a7b19#7/51.13111/-1.13159), showing changes over time.

You can generate your Strava Heatmap at: https://www.strava.com/athlete/heatmaps

Caveats ⚠️

1. This is NOT PRODUCTION WORTHY.
2. You'll need to pull the activities from Strava manually. For the purposes of the hack day, we used our Strava API keys and Postman to extract our activities into a single JSON file. This repository does not contain code to update/pull activities from Strava (yet).
