I’m building an iOS app called StreetQuest and I want to publish this page on my blog to declare intent for use of the Strava API. No surprises, folks.
I want StreetQuest to help runners track which streets they’ve completed in their city. It scores GPS traces against local street data and shows street-by-street progress over time. It’s inspired by CityStrides but the incentives are different. It’s going to have RPG battle elements and an experience system to improve your roster.
For people who record runs on a Garmin watch or another device that syncs to Strava, StreetQuest can connect to Strava and import the user’s own activities. That import is used only to bring the activity into StreetQuest so it can be processed against street coverage data.
StreetQuest only needs read access to the user’s own Strava activities. It does not post workouts back to Strava, edit Strava data, or use Strava for anything social.
This page exists mainly as a public reference for the Strava application configuration while the project is still in progress.
