Strava to Strava cloud to ROOK Connect to Your backend: how Strava data reaches your product through ROOK.

How it connects

ROOK connects to Strava through its cloud API.

ROOK's Strava Web API integration delivers physical activity data from Strava as structured JSON, by webhook and API: workouts with their duration, distance, pace, speed, cadence, power, elevation and route.

Use Strava activities to reward training, personalize coaching and measure engagement, in the same format as every other data source ROOK connects.

Our Strava integration delivers notifications within minutes after a user completes an event and syncs their app.

Your own Strava developer account is required.
