Strava
The Qlik Strava connector uses the Strava API V3 to fetch your athletic activity stats from Strava.
The Qlik Web Connectors help you connect to different data sources and fetch data in the same way. Learn how to authenticate a data source connection and how to use tables to fetch data.
Supported offerings
- Qlik Sense Desktop
- Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
- QlikView
This connector must be installed separately.
Ways to access your data
To access your Strava data, you need to authenticate the connector with your Strava account credentials. After you create a connection and select Strava as your data source, you are redirected to a Strava login page. Log in with your credentials to retrieve an authentication code, and enter it into the connector.
Loading data from tables
After you authenticate the connector with your account credentials, you can use the following tables to select and load data.
Table data is displayed in the following formats:
- Distance and elevation: meters
- Speed: meters per second
- Time: seconds
| Table | Description |
|---|---|
| Stats | List the stats of your most recent, year-to-date, and all-time activities. |
| Activities | View the activities for the authenticated athlete. |
| Athlete | View a summary for the authenticated athlete. |

Working with the Strava API quota limits
The Qlik Web Connectors use the Strava API V3 to extract data from Strava and load it into your Qlik Sense app. While reloading your Strava-based app, you might receive an error message that the connector has reached the Strava API V3 rate limit and that all subsequent API calls will fail until the connector falls back under the throttling limit. If you receive this error message, then you have exceeded one of the API rate limits.
Troubleshooting
You receive an error message that you have reached the API rate limit
Possible cause
You have exceeded the API limits that are imposed by the Strava API V3.
Proposed action
To reduce the impact of reaching API rate limits, develop your app with the following in mind:
- Extract only the data you need.
- Reload one Strava-based application at a time.
- Ensure that loops in your script that make API calls do not result in infinite loops.
