5. **Share credentials with Thryve**&#x20;

After you have created your App, you will be provided with your:

* ClientID
* ClientSecret

Please encrypt these credentials using our [secret sharing service](https://secret.thryve.de/) and then [share](https://thryve.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) the resulting link with our Customer Operations Team.

### **Apply for the Strava developer program** <a href="#h_01hw8jpbbhz0ckeb90r4nka8h3" id="h_01hw8jpbbhz0ckeb90r4nka8h3"></a>

Strava has recently implemented stricter API limits for new apps. If you find that your app's current limits are insufficient, you'll need to apply for their partnership program [here](https://share.hsforms.com/1VXSwPUYqSH6IxK0y51FjHwcnkd8).

This form shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes to fill out, and submitted forms are typically reviewed within one week.

{% hint style="info" %}
Understanding the `${appName}` Variable

In this guide, you'll see the placeholder `${appName}`. Whenever you encounter it, replace it with your actual partner name, exactly as it's registered in our system.<br>

For example, if your partner name is `yourcompany`, then:

`https://${appName}.und-gesund.de/dataSourcesSwitch.html`&#x20;

should become:

`https://yourcompany.und-gesund.de/dataSourcesSwitch.html`&#x20;

If you're unsure what your `${appName}` is, please refer your web authentication username, it usually follows the format `${appName}-api`. Otherwise, feel free to [contact us](https://thryve.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and we’ll confirm it for you.
