Followed this awesome article to set up own application and set up to get refresh token with read_all scope

Create a file secrets.py as a copy of secrets_template.py and substitute the following:

• client_id - int: from My API application
• client_secret - string: from My API application
• refresh_token - string: follow the linked blog to get this token, requires authorizing your account then making an additional post request
• sender_address - string: email address to send the summary from, I created a developer gmail account just to test this out
• sender_pword - string: password for the above account
• receiver_address - string: email to send the results to

Scheduling on Windows:

• Create a file run-strava.bat containing:

"<path to python>\python.exe" "<path to root of repo>\notebooks\get_my_activities.py" pause

• use Task Scheduler to set run-strava.bat to run on the first of every month at e.g. 8am
