ActivityTimeline REST API

ActivityTimeline REST API

All API requests can be made by ActivityTimeline user with Administrator permission only.

ActivityTimeline REST API is turned off by default. You must turn it on before the first use.


ActivityTimeline REST API can be turned on by changing ActivityTimeline REST API setting at AT REST API page in Configuration:

How to Use REST API

  1. Create a unique AT REST API authorization token in ActivityTimeline configuration

  2. Call API methods with specifying that auth-token as a request Header or URL parameter (or auth_token before AT v8.3.0). 

Sample Java/C# code of AT REST API usage

Sample Java project that demonstrates how to call AT REST API can be downloaded here (all API methods):

Sample .NET (C#) project that demonstrates how to call AT REST API can be downloaded here (some API methods):

Important Note when calling AT REST API from JavaScript/Node.js code.

ActivityTimeline uses number identifiers that could be larger than JavaScript number type supports.
As a result, some JavaScript JSON parsers replace the last few digits of an 'id' with zeros making that 'id' invalid.
Example: Actual 'id' of 1235598463805867311 becomes 1235598463805867300

 


 

Authorization

You can authorize into the REST API by specifying a unique Authorization Token in one of 4 supported ways:

  • Add auth-token Header with the value of your Authorization Token (preferred) V8.3.0+

  • Add auth-token URL parameter with the value of your Authorization Token V8.3.0+

  • DEPRECATED Add auth_token Header with the value of your Authorization Token

  • DEPRECATED Add auth_token URL parameter with the value of your Authorization Token 

 

Authorization Token can be generated at ActivityTimeline Configuration → AT REST API page. Handle it with the same security as you would a password.
