Special permissions needed to access activities

Open briandoll opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Thank you for writing this gem! It's been great to work with, and saves so much time. I'm just writing a little training journal tool for myself to archive TrainingPeaks and Strava data. When accessing Activities, I kept getting auth errors. It turns out there are some extra fun hoops to jump through to get the permissions created to access Activities, which you can read about on this blog post: https://www.markhneedham.com/blog/2020/12/15/strava-authorization-error-missing-read-permission/

Just an FYI for anyone else having this problem, and also to potentially update docs to make folks aware.

Thanks for your kind words @briandoll! Want to update https://github.com/dblock/strava-ruby-client?tab=readme-ov-file#usage or another section of the README to help the next person?
