Hi, 

I would like to do some playing around at home with a C++/Qt based application (i.e. NOT web-based), that access's only MY personal data in a read-only manner.

Can somebody tell me how to get an access token for this? 

I have tried to 'register' my application using 'localhost', for both app & callback domain but that is not allowed.

Thanks in advance

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

Check out: https://www.strava.com/settings/api and look for "Your Access Token"

Strava helps you out by giving you an access token for yourself by default.

Happy playing,
-Sam

I don't seem to have access to my "Your Access Token"... Does anybody know if that's due to either:
  • The fact that mine is a free account, 
  • Or, perhaps my privacy settings, 
  • Or, anything else I'm missing here
Thanks...

SOLVED: In the end I had to register/create an application at the https://www.strava.com/settings/api page.

For the "Website" I used -  https://strava.com
For the "Authorization Callback Domain" I used - localhost

This allowed me to register such that I now have access to a 'clientId', a 'client secret' and personal 'access token'
