Athletes

This page is designed to mirror the documentation structure at Strava API Athletes and describe the methods for working with athlete data in the Strava API.

Retrieve Current Athlete

This is the simplest request. It is provided by the when called with no parameters.

athlete = client.get_athlete()
print("Hello, {}".format(athlete.firstname))

See the stravalib.model.Athlete class for details on what is returned. For this method, a full detailed-level attribute set is returned.

Retrieve Another Athlete

A variation on the above request, this is provided by the stravalib.client.Client.get_athlete when called with an athlete ID.

athlete = client.get_athlete(227615)
print("Hello, {}".format(athlete.firstname))

See the stravalib.model.Athlete class for details. Only a summary-level subset of attributes is returned when fetching information about another athlete.
