Follow these steps to get the required credentials and inputs:

client_id and client_secret
- Create a Strava account
- Continue to follow the instructions from the doc above to obtain client_id and client_secret
refresh_token
- Enter this URL into your browser (make sure to add your client_id from previous step:
  - https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=[REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLIENT_ID]&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://localhost/exchange_token&approval_prompt=force&scope=activity:read_all
- Authorize through the UI
- Browser will redirect you to an empty page with a URL similar to https://localhost/exchange_token?state=&code=b55003496d87a9f0b694ca1680cd5690d27d9d28&scope=activity:read_all
- Copy the authorization code above (in this example it would be b55003496d87a9f0b694ca1680cd5690d27d9d28)
- Make a cURL request to exchange the authorization code and scope for a refresh token:
- ```
curl -X POST https://www.strava.com/oauth/token \
-F client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
-F client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
-F code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE \
-F grant_type=authorization_code
```
- The resulting json will contain the refresh_token
- Example Result:
- ```

      "token_type": "Bearer",
      "expires_at": 1562908002,
      "expires_in": 21600,
