What’s the deal with the API restrictions
I wanted to make a small app for me and my friends to use for some friendly asynchronous competition over segments - essentially the concept being we designate some local segments as sprint/climb segments, and fight for green/polka dot jersey points over some amount of weeks.
However one of the first things in the strava docs is “Strava reserves the right to revoke your API Token if you violate the API Agreement, including but not limited to, uses that enable virtual races or competitions and uses that replicate Strava sites, services or products.”
It feels like what I want to do constitutes a virtual race/competition, but there is no way to set this up with the structure I’m after on strava’s own platform? Plus it sounds like my use case would violate the “community” element where I would share the data with the other friends?
Am I understanding the terms and conditions correctly? The use of the API sounds super restricted.
If I am, is strava likely to care if it’s just a small app used by a group of friends or whatever?
