Strava API and CORS

[James Randall]

If you're trying to access Strava from a JavaScript client I've created a tiny CORS enabled pass through proxy for the API that also supports the token exchange used in their OAuth process. You can find it on GitHub here:

Hopefully useful to somebody.

Thanks James this looks useful. Do you know if there is any way of authenticating using just JavaScript running in the browser? I'm trying to develop a small web page that works without server-side components.

It seems as though the POST you have to do to swap the temporary token for the access token doesn't work from the browser, although I might be doing it wrong.

Ross,

you are correct that our CORS setup doesn't currently cover the OAuth token request and exchange. We have an outstanding bug tracking this issue internally, I will update this thread when it gets resolved.

Thanks,

Thanks a ton James! Without this, I would be unable to continue my project.

Pretty hard to believe that it's not possible to use this API without setting up your own server endpoint...
