Steps
Read the official Strava V3 API changelog entry dated June 1, 2026 confirming the base URL is changing from https://www.strava.com/api/v3 to https://api-v3.strava.com
Note the new base URL becomes available starting January 4, 2027 — plan the cutover but do not hardcode the new host before that date
Update all HTTP client base-URL configuration and any hardcoded https://www.strava.com/api/v3 references to point at https://api-v3.strava.com once available
Adopt the new deauthorization endpoint documented alongside this change under the authentication docs
If your app depends on Club Activities, Club Members, or Club Admins endpoints, plan removal/replacement before September 1, 2026 when they are removed
If your app uses Explore Segments, confirm you hold Extended Access Tier before September 1, 2026, when that endpoint becomes restricted
Known gotchas
The new host has no "www" prefix — it's api-v3.strava.com, not www.api-v3.strava.com; double-check any documentation or third-party tutorials that get this backwards
The changelog states when the new URL becomes available, not when the old one stops working — don't assume an old-URL sunset date that isn't published
Club endpoints and Explore Segments have separate, earlier deprecation dates (Sept 1, 2026) bundled in the same changelog entry as the base-URL change — easy to miss
