On the plus side, the five days rest seems to have worked. Touch and go - just commuting (which isn't too bad for holding my fitness, if I push myself) and will start throwing some longer/challenging rides back into it later next week, maybe week after.

Strava has switched to a new API that requires sign-in authentication, instead of just quoting a Strava username.
You would have noticed the change when using Veloviewer - you now have to authorise Veloviewer to get your info. Much like the way Facebook shares info.
So the dude who built the cycling goal thingo will have to re-work it, if he can be bothered.

Wow... Very cheeky on the part of Strava... Forcefully introduce a new API, don't resource it internally, and then use the lack of resources as a reason for limiting the number of developers they allow to use said new API.kb wrote:It's not just re-writing for authentication

If that article wasn't written by Ray, I'd be thinking I'm missing something (Strava's side of the story, perhaps)... but knowing that Ray is a fence sitter by design and painstakingly unbiased... if Ray says something's amiss, it probably is.
At least Veloviewer works.

I'm going to keep using Strava, but cancel my premium subscription in protest. I don't get anything really out of the premium stuff anyway, did it to support a good website.cavebear2 wrote:In regards to the V3 API fiasco, having read that little diatribe I definitely won't be resubscribing to Strava and at the end of the year I'm outa there!

Yeah +1 for me also
