Strava blames zero-code AI apps and scrapers as it tightens API access
Strava is restricting API access and requiring developers to pay $11.99/month to build apps using its platform, citing zero-code AI tools and scrapers that degrade service performance. The fitness platform reports a 448% increase in developer applications year-to-date and has experienced policy violations from API intermediaries, prompting the monetization shift ahead of its planned IPO.
