Because it's not a public dataset, it's the specific user's data that only lives in Strava (or one of the other platforms that they integrate with).

- ThirdPartyApi 7y agoCorrect. I guess without giving more detail I can understand how my username or original post can be confusing. But I'm representing companies that use api feeds from larger companies to build products on top of them like Relive did, not using a third party api such as a map in our product if that make sense.
- OJFord 7y agoThat's always a dangerous game though surely, you know from the outset that the API provider might come out with a first-party solutiom and all but kill your, what is essentially a, plugin.
- toyg 7y agoThe objective is typically to make it complex and advanced enough that it becomes difficult for the provider to reimplement it from scratch, or build features that the provider will probably never implement. See for example how Spotlight on macOS has not killed Alfred and probably never will, because Alfred can be very liberal with things like running scripts and plugins - whereas Apple cannot.
