Get an activity

GET/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/projects/{project_id}/work-items/{work_item_id}/activities/{pk}/

Activities are the append-only audit trail on a work item. Read a single activity by id.

Path Parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs — in https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

project_id:requiredstring

The project the resource belongs to. Accepts the project UUID or its bare identifier, for example ENG.

work_item_id:requiredstring

The work item the resource hangs off. Accepts the work item UUID or its PROJ-123 identifier.

pk:requiredstring (uuid)

The activity id.

Response shaping

fields:optionalstring

Comma-separated list of fields to return. Unrequested keys are omitted, not returned as null. id always comes back. Pass all for every requestable field. An unknown name is a 400. See Sparse fields.

Requestable here: actor_id, comment, created_at, duration, epoch, external_id, external_source, field, id, issue_comment_id, new_identifier_id, new_value, old_identifier_id, old_value, verb, work_item_id.

expand:optionalstring

Comma-separated relations to embed: actor.

Expansion is separate-key — ?expand=state keeps state_id and adds a state object next to it. ?fields= and ?expand= are independent: naming a relation in ?fields= is a 400, and expanded objects survive field filtering. See Expanding relations.
