Activity Photos?

[sean burles]

I dont seem to be able to see activity photos in any of the variables. I can see photo_count and total_photo_count but not photos. Anyone know what is going on?

Sean, can you send along the specific request you are making, and the JSON response you are receiving?

I am also seeing this. Im making a request to https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/following

[Michael Henasey]

It appears that the API will only return "photos" for the athlete you are authorized as, thus trying to get photos of athletes you follow isn't possible.

So, why does the API return a "total_photo_count" for a summary representation of an another athlete's activity but then no way to get to the actual photos???

And even this seems not to be working...

I'm trying:

curl -G https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/1193750319/photos?photo_source=true -H "Authorization: Bearer [insert token]"

I am the authenticated athlete for this activity but all I get back is an empty string.

[Michael Henasey]

The only thing that seems to work is getting the detailed Activity for your authenticated athlete and then the "photos" property is filled out with the Primary Photo object, which then has the "urls" for the photos associated with your activity.

Thanks Michael for confirming I’m not the only one.

I’m also getting [] when I hit the /photos endpoint. I double checked that the activity does have a picture.

This portion doesn’t seamed to be well documented. I’m hoping the new developers.strava.com will be better. And I think it would be nice to get photos from followers activities not just the authenticated user.

did not know about developers.strava.com. i'll have to read up about that. thanks!
