Strava Overview#

The Strava API lets you tap into the robust data from Strava's fitness app, which is a playground for athletes worldwide to track their workouts. With Pipedream, you can automate actions based on activities uploaded to Strava, such as running, biking, or swimming. Imagine syncing workout data to spreadsheets for analysis, auto-posting achievements to social media, or integrating with calendar apps for better scheduling. Pipedream's serverless platform makes it a breeze to create workflows that can listen for Strava webhooks, process data, and trigger actions in countless other apps.

Trigger Code#

import strava from "../../strava.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "strava-activity-created",
  name: "New Activity Created Event",
  description: "Emit new event when a new activity is created",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    strava,
    stravaApphook: {
      type: "$.interface.apphook",
      appProp: "strava",
      eventNames: [
        "activity.create",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    console.log(event);
    let details;
    try {
      details = await this.strava.getActivity({
        activityId: event.object_id,
      });
    } catch (err) {
      console.log(`Error fetching activity details: ${err}`);
    }
    let summary = "Activity created";
    if (details && details.name) {
      summary += `: ${details.name}`;
    }
    this.$emit(
      {
        event,
        details,
      },
      {
        summary,
        ts: event.event_time * 1000,
      },
    );
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Strava	`strava`	`app`	This component uses the Strava app.
	`stravaApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`

Trigger Authentication#

Strava uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Strava account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Strava and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Strava API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

readactivity:writeactivity:readactivity:read_all

About Strava#

Diffchecker Overview#

The Diffchecker API allows you to compare differences between texts, images, PDFs, and other files programmatically, providing an automated way to spot changes or inconsistencies. Leveraging this API within Pipedream workflows can automate diff tasks, alerting you to changes, syncing content across platforms, or maintaining consistency in code or document versions. Pipedream's ability to connect to various services and trigger workflows based on numerous events makes it an excellent tool for integrating Diffchecker in a variety of scenarios.
