Strava import #4

Open parsonsmatt opened 4 years ago

The user should be able to import previous ride and gear data from Strava.

This issue tracks the integration with Strava's API and the software required to perform the import. Using it from an application (web/cli) will be tracked in a separate issue.

Alternatively, Strava has a "data export" feature. Should just use that to get started, then we can use the API to keep up with new/recent events.

EDIT: Okay, the Strava data export feature is basically useless for this. I'll need to do the import from the API for a few reasons:

CSV data does not associate ride with bike.
CSV data does not contain mileage information, so you can't even say "This is the start point, start associating ride data after this."

Unfortunately, implementing rate limiting may be difficult with the current library. Strava's rate limiting policy is somewhat odd - a 15 minute and 24 hour burst refresh rate will be somewhat annoying to plan around.
