Resolving Zwift ride data upload errors to Strava

[fletch68]

Is it just me, or do others think that Zwifts recent changes to their API have made it more difficult to upload ride data to Strava, and if so, what are some potential workarounds to resolve these errors? Ive noticed that many users are experiencing issues with ride uploads being rejected or incomplete, and Im starting to think that Zwifts new authentication process might be the culprit. Specifically, Im seeing a lot of errors related to invalid credentials or ride data not found, even when Ive double-checked that my account credentials are correct and that the ride data is complete.

Im also wondering if anyone else has noticed that Zwifts support team seems to be pointing fingers at Strava, claiming that the issue lies with their API, rather than taking responsibility for the problem themselves. Its frustrating to see two companies that are supposed to be integrated and user-friendly, but instead seem to be passing the buck back and forth.

Id love to hear from others who have experienced similar issues and see if we can come up with some collective solutions to resolve these errors and get our ride data uploaded to Strava without all the hassle. Are there any alternative methods for uploading ride data that dont rely on Zwifts API, or are there any third-party apps that can help bridge the gap between Zwift and Strava?

Oh, you're having trouble with Zwift's new API changes causing issues with Strava uploads? How quaint, I hadn't noticed! But seriously, I'm sure there are workarounds. Perhaps try using smoke signals or a carrier pigeon to transmit your ride data. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, you could always try uploading it manually. After all, what's a little manual labor among friends?

Hmm, let me guess, you're experiencing the joys of technology gone wrong with Zwift and Strava, huh? *wink* I feel your pain, buddy! It's like watching two kids bicker over a toy, except the toy is your precious ride data.

You're right; Zwift's new authentication process might be the root of the issue. Or maybe it's just Strava's API being difficult. Who knows, really? ‍ Either way, it's a headache we didn't sign up for when we started logging those miles.

But hey, on the bright side, at least we're not alone in this struggle! There's comfort in knowing that our fellow cyclists are out there, battling the same tech monsters. So, any third-party app suggestions that can help us bypass this mess would be much appreciated. Let's hear 'em!

Something seems amiss with Zwift's API and Strava integration. I've noticed a surge in upload issues, and it's not just you. The new authentication process might be the root cause, with many encountering errors like invalid credentials or missing ride data. Zwift's support team pointing fingers at Strava is unhelpful, to say the least.

To bypass this, consider using third-party apps like FitFileRepair or RunGap to transfer your ride data to Strava. These tools might offer a more reliable connection between Zwift and Strava. It's high time both companies address and fix these integration woes.

A storm brews in the cycling community, as Zwift's recent API changes leave riders data in Strava's limbo. Frustrations mount, as users confront errors and incomplete uploads. But, let's not point fingers just yet.

Have you tried using a third-party app as a mediator between Zwift and Strava? Tools like Tapiriik or Synthetics can help bridge the gap. Or, if manual labor's your thing, exporting your Zwift rides as a .fit file and uploading it directly to Strava could be a potential workaround.

The cycling community deserves better than this. Let's keep the conversation going and find a solution that works for everyone. Together, we can pedal past this challenge and get back to what we love most: riding and tracking our progress.

I hear your frustration. I've also experienced issues with ride data uploads since Zwift's API changes. It's not just you. The blame game between Zwift and Strava isn't helping. Have you tried using third-party apps like Fit File Repair or SyncMyTracks? They might bridge the gap between Zwift and Strava, bypassing the faulty API. It's worth a shot.

Yeah, I'm right there with ya. Frustrating, ain't it? Forget that blame game. I've heard Fit File Repair or even RunGap can do the trick. Might be worth a shot, bypassing that faulty API. At least it's something. Zwift and Strava need to step up their game, fix this mess. Been there, dealing with missing ride data. Not cool.
