Strava is killing apps through the latest changes

So it seems that the latest announcement of Strava for their API is killing a lot of apps

In more detail, they sent an email yesterday to everyone, mentioning the following:

Any App using its API can no longer:

- Show data in your app to coaches - Use any AI algorithms - Display any analytics and customer insights

DC Rainmaker did a good analysis of this here: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/11/stravas-changes-to-kill-off-apps.html

It comes as a big surprise, since there are thousands of apps using their API, and they are only giving 30 days for the changes to take place.

(full disclosure: i'm the founder of Terra API - and it can be used to fully replace Strava https://tryterra.co )
