edit - as I couldn't tag this with Strava here are the docs if you're interested - http://strava.github.io/api/
I get through the authentication fine and gain the access_token (and my athlete info) in a response.read.
I'm having problems with the next step:
I want to return information about a specific activity.
import urllib2
import urllib
access_token = str(tp[3]) #this comes from the response not shown
print access_token
ath_url = 'https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/108838256'
ath_val = values={'access_token':access_token}
ath_data = urllib.urlencode (ath_val)
ath_req = urllib2.Request(ath_url, ath_data)
ath_response = urllib2.urlopen(ath_req)
the_page = ath_response.read()
print the_page
error is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\JordanR\Python2.6\documents\strava\auth.py", line 30, in <module>
ath_response = urllib2.urlopen(ath_req)

raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
the 404 is a puzzle as I know this activity exists?
Is 'access_token' the correct header information?
the documentation (http://strava.github.io/api/v3/activities/#get-details) uses Authorization: Bearer ? I'm not sure how liburl would encode the Bearer part of the info?
sorry if some of my terminology is a bit off, I'm new to this.
answered this bad boy.
import requests as r
access_token = tp[3]
ath_url = 'https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/108838256'
header = {'Authorization': 'Bearer 4b1d12006c51b685fd1a260490_example_jklfds'}
data = r.get(ath_url, headers=header).json()
it needed the "Bearer" part adding in the Dict.
thanks for the help idClark
