How to get user activity feed by rest api?

Hey iahiqosolutions,

There is currently no single rest API that will give you the same functionality.

However you can get the information with multiple API calls:

1) users/.../posts/latest
2) users/.../kudos/given/messages/recent
3) users/.../kudos/received/messages/recent
4) tagging/for/users/.../messages/recent

I know this isn't ideal, but I hope this helps with your use case.

Hey iahiqosolutinos,

 

You are correct, the APIs don't currently allow you to get activity log messages.

APIs 2-4 above should return messages for which the user gave kudos (2), received kudos (3), and tagged (4).

You should be able to parse most of the information (like message name, user that wrote the message) that is contained within the messages in your example from the message objects in each of the lists.

The only item that you can't get via this method is the timestamp of the actual action. Let me see if there's any other way to get the timestamp information for the kudos/tagging events, but at first glance, it doesn't look like there is currently a way to get this information via the APIs.

Hey all,

I found this. Apparently, I had answered this question earlier and forgot about it :smileywink:
