Strava API Integration

With Terra's Strava web API integration, your app can sync users' activity data from one of the world's largest athletic communities. The Strava API integration delivers detailed workout metrics including GPS routes, pace, speed, distance, elevation, heart rate, and power output for runs, rides, and other activities.

Two ways to receive Strava data

When data is available from a Strava device, Terra sends it straight to your webhook. During your Terra account setup you'll be prompted for a callback URL, and that is where Terra POSTs each payload.

Strava notifies Terra as soon as new data is available, and we POST the normalized payload straight to your webhook. No polling needed.

Terra API preserves the raw data from the wearable, it just standardizes the units and the json format. It doesn’t augment or change the raw data in any way.

Data is organized into one of 6 data types.

People Often Ask Us...

How do I access Strava data via API?

Terra provides a web API integration with Strava. Once your users connect their Strava account through Terra's authentication widget, their activity data is automatically pushed to your app via webhooks.

How quickly does Strava data reach my app?

Strava notifies Terra as soon as new data is available, so the normalized payload reaches your webhook within seconds of the user's device syncing. An activity arrives as soon as the user completes and uploads it to Strava.

What data is available from Strava through Terra?

Through Terra's Strava integration, you can access activity data. This includes workout details such as distance, duration, speed, heart rate, power, GPS routes, elevation gain, and calories burned for all activity types tracked on Strava.

How much does the Strava API integration cost?

Every Terra plan includes unlimited integrations, so there is no separate charge for Strava. Pricing is credit-based, with 100,000 credits included each month and usage-based rates beyond that. Every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can build against real Strava data risk-free.
