Athletes¶
This page is designed to mirror the structure of the documentation at http://strava.github.io/api/v3/athlete/ and describe the methods for working with athlete data in the Strava API.
Retrieve Current Athlete¶
This is the simplest request. It is provided by the stravalib.client.Client.get_athlete()
when called
with no parameters.:
athlete = client.get_athlete()
print("Hello, {}".format(athlete.firstname))
See the stravalib.model.Athlete
class for details on what is returned. For this method, full detailed-level
attribute set is returned.
Retrieve Another Athlete¶
A variation on the above request, this is provided by the stravalib.client.Client.get_athlete()
when called
with an athlete ID.:
athlete = client.get_athlete(227615)
print("Hello, {}".format(athlete.firstname))
See the stravalib.model.Athlete
class for details. only summary-level subset of attributes is returned
when fetching information about another athlete.
Friends and Followers¶
Strava allows fetching both an athlete’s friends and those that are following (have friended) the specified athlete.
List athlete friends¶
The stravalib.client.Client.get_athete_friends()
method may be called with our without an athlete ID parameter,
depending on whether the friends for another or the current athlete (respectively) are being requested.:
johns_friends = client.get_athlete_friends(227615)
for a in johns_friends:
print("{} is john's friend.".format(a.firstname))
# Now do the same for the currently authenticated athlete
friends = client.get_athlete_friends()
for a in friends:
print("{} is your friend.".format(a.firstname))
List athlete followers¶
Listing followers works basically the same as listing friends, and is effectively showing the inverse.:
johns_followers = client.get_athlete_followers(227615)
for a in johns_followers:
print("{} is following john.".format(a.firstname))
# Now do the same for the currently authenticated athlete
friends = client.get_athlete_followers()
for a in followers:
print("{} is following you.".format(a.firstname))
Update Current Athlete¶
(This is not yet implemented by stravalib.)
