Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoI guess the automatic has the 10 user limit. and the subscription is needed for a proper app that people use.

How many people are personally operating more than 10 athletes? Are there that many enormous super-athlete families that all rely on Strava?

It’s for the API, meaning when you code an app and use strava you have a maximun of 10 users, everything else is just gone.
10 users using your app isn’t much.

So each person gets their own API key when installing some custom app. This is normal procedure. I’m not seeing an issue with that part.

normal procedure? where exactly have you seen that be done? for that every user would have to register a developer account and fumble with an API key

That is absolutely not normal procedure. Apps generally use one universal API key per API surface, not unique keys per user.
