Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm a PHP web developer(I play around with maps and GPX files a fair bit) and had a great idea for something I'd like to try using a friend's data(length of each run). I asked where they recorded their runs and they pointed me to FE which I hadn't heard of before.

After a bit of searching around I'm a little disappointed to find this is as close to an API as there is. I'll probably move on and not think of FE in the future. I might end up using the strava API, but I don't really like the coldness of that place so I've been wanting to avoid it for other projects.

All the best,
Annon.

Developers - eh? Most of them are billy-no-mates who think they know better then everyone else. strava is an app, Fetch is a community - unfortunately community doesn't parse for most developers. Also notice the sense of "entitlement" - "I expect an API so there should be one." He probably thinks Fetch employs a 100 strong team, and isn't actually one person. I feckin' most hate programmers, despite being one, and the above post is a good case study in question.

Just because you put it in quotes doesn't mean I said it. I don't expect or feel entitled to an API. I looked around and found this thread about an API in development. I was disappointed because it would have been really cool to have an API. I posted this message so that the guy(yes I knew it was one guy working from home both running and improving the site) could know there was interest. Sometimes a bit of interest is needed to continue motivation or provide a few forms of help/direction. Maybe he doesn't read the forum anymore so won't see my message.

"Strava is an app, Fetch is a community" - good description of the two. Unfortunately there's often a part of community that has a hostility to newcomers.
