About the stravalib Python package#
stravalib is a Python library for interacting with version 3 of the Strava API. Our goal is to expose the entire user-facing Strava V3 API.
The stravalib Python package provides easy-to-use tools for accessing and
downloading Strava data from the Strava V3 web service. Stravalib provides a
Client class that supports:
Authenticating with stravalib
Accessing and downloading Strava activity, club and profile data
Making changes to account activities
It also provides support for working with date/time/temporal attributes and quantities through the Python Pint library.
Why use stravalib?#
There are numerous reasons to use stravalib in your workflows:
Stravalib returns your data in structured Python dictionaries with associated data types that make it easier to work with the data in Python.
Relationships can be traversed on model objects to pull in related content “seamlessly”.
dates, times and durations are imported as Python objects making it easier to convert and work with this data.
Stravalib provides built-in support for rate-limiting
and more intelligent error handling.
