Make a simple heatmap from your strava data
- Put your api key and client id into the api.key file
python make_heatmap.py
To get started you need your secret key and client id from strava. Signing up to be a developer is simple and free. If you already have a developer account you can find your secret and client id at the bottom of your strava settings online. Edit the api.key.template with your values and move it to api.key.
For the required python libraries you will need to:
pip install stravalib pandas gmplot
For a progress of downloading data you can also install tqdm:
pip install tqdm
The make_heatmap.py file will output a csv of all your activities, a pickle of an array of dataframes with each dataframe representing an idivuidual activity, and an html file which makes an interactive heatmap on a google map.
If you would only like the data you can also just run the download_data.py file which will give you the csv and the pickle so you can look at the data yourself.
A handy thing about saving the data means you don't have to constatnly make api calls which strava limits. If you have new activities you want to add them to the data just delete the csv and pkl file and it will redownload the newest data.
