Why Traditional Methods Don't Work

Strava has restricted direct access to follower/following lists through their API. Traditional social discovery methods return empty results even with valid tokens.

Available Discovery Methods
Club-Based Discovery

Finds potential connections through shared Strava club memberships. High confidence scores for members in multiple shared clubs.

Activity-Based Discovery

Analyzes who gives you kudos and comments on your activities. Higher social scores for frequent interactions.
