Activity resource

Get activity list - Get activity list v1

OVERVIEW

Note: The latest specification for Collaborate 4.1.4 and above is here 

This API method can be used to obtain a collection of activity items. The activity is based on a specific filter.

By default the activity of the authenticated OAuth token are used to provide the activity, however if the OAuth token user has got administrative rights they are able to obtain activity on behalf of other users.

The type of activity returned can be altered by the filter parameters.

Each activity has an Actor, Verb and Object:

Actor: A person that performs the activity (user object) 

Verb : The activities verb, which indicates what action was performed

Object: The object of the activity

 

e.g. Mark posted a comment on the wiki page "Welcome to the show"

In the above activity description, "Mark" is the actor, "posted" is the verb and "wiki page" is the object.

<noofcomments> <nooflikes> <comments> <images> tags are only included in the returned xml when there are values available for those items.

The activity ID is only returned for microblog items and not for the any other activity.
