AI and Fitness: Strava Tightens Third-Party API Access
AI and Fitness Tracking Redefined
In a bold move, Strava has restricted third-party access to user data via its API, affecting fitness apps that rely on this integration. Pioneering data management has never been more crucial as fitness enthusiasts seek to optimize their training and social sharing experience.
Key Changes to Strava's API
- Third-party apps can no longer display Strava activity data publicly.
- Strava's API cannot support AI models or similar applications.
- Designs must complement rather than replicate Strava’s interface.
This shift presents challenges for many existing services connected to Strava, hindering their functionality and forcing innovation.
