How do I lift Strava's one-athlete limit?
Strava apps start in development mode, which limits you to one connected athlete.
Strava apps start in development mode, which limits you to one connected athlete. To support multiple athletes you must apply through Strava's developer programme via their API settings. There is no shortcut on Terra's side, and Strava controls the review timeline, so submit early.
Setup:
Create your own app in Strava's developer portal.
Set the authorization callback domain to access.tryterra.co (use api.tryterra.co if access fails to validate on older dev_ids).
Add the Strava client ID and secret in the Terra dashboard under Connections.
One Strava app is sufficient across all Terra environments; add the same client_id/secret to each dev_id's Strava connection.
To speed approval, submit a clear app description plus screenshots of your own product's connection flow and Strava branding (not the Terra dashboard), and mention that you use Terra as your aggregator.
Once approved, your existing setup works as-is with the higher limit.
