Is there a way for me to access a ride's data using my API id that's marked private by me on Strava?

Is there a way for me to access a ride's data using my API id, that's marked private by me on Strava?

Thanks.

you need to add "scope: view_private" to your oauth token request

This is driving me potty.

I'm trying to access my data marked private via my Strava API application.

I access this page in a web browser:

https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=1234&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost/token_exchange.php&approval_prompt=force&scope=view_private

That gives a webpage:

_________________________________________________________

Authorize xxxxx to connect to your account

...

Amongst other things, this application will be able to:

Access your name, location and email address

Access your activity data

Display public data related to those activities

Read your public profile data

See private data on your activities

_________________________________________________________

I click Authorise and that gives, in the address bar

http://localhost/token_exchange.php?state=&code=c4f282db07b0f136d2ff5979a6ff106bba34a6fc

I then, on the command line, go:

curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/token -F client_id=1234 -F client_secret=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -F code=c4f282db07b0f136d2ff5979a6ff106bba34a6fc

and that gives

{"message":"Authorization Error","errors":[{"resource":"Application","field":"","code":"invalid"}]}

I just want to allow my PHP code to access my marked private data on Strava -- only my Strava athlete account -- on an ongoing basis.

How? Please help, thanks.

Under My API Application it says "Your Access Token (permissions: public)". Is there not just a way of changing that to allow it to access my private data?

I don't know, worked for me:

curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/token -F client_id=5645 -F client_secret=a73**************1d78 -F code=c4f282db07b0f136d2ff5979a6ff106bba34a6fc

Please, could you provide more details on how to use it? 

Earlier, I used to be able to get my private activities using this something like this

curl -G https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer 83ebeabdec09f6670863766f792ead24d61fe3f9"

Should we now provide the 'code' as a header? or client_secret? Or something else? 

I really wish the documentation had an updated example showing how this is to be accomplished.

Never mind. I figured out that I needed to exchange the temporary code for a new access token. With the new access token, everything works, as expected.
