Person History equivalent via Rest API

Flow Production Tracking

Hi,

Just started using the Rest API (Javascript), and looking to generate the quivalent data we see in People>[user]>History. Ideally I am loooking to get general ibnformnation such as assets viewed and login / logout info etc.

I am able to get human_user information via activity_stream, but there are far less entries. I have read in posts from years ago, that the Shotgrid API might be limited in this way, is that the case, or should I be leveraging another part of the API?

You’d instead want to search for Event Log Entries linked to the human_user.
That will detail their activity

@schicky Thanks for the pointer, much appreciated.

For anyone else, here is a JS function that I got working:

async function GetUserEventLogEntries()
    {
        const accessToken = await authenticate();
        const url = `${apiUrl}/entity/EventLogEntry/_search`;

        const filters = [
            ['user', 'type_is', 'HumanUser'],
            ['user', 'is', {'type': 'HumanUser', 'id': userId}]
        ];
        const fields = ['id', 'event_type', 'attribute_name', 'meta', 'entity'];

        fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/vnd+shotgun.api3_array+json',
                'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}`
            },
            body: JSON.stringify({
                entity_type: 'EventLogEntry',
                filters: filters,
                fields: fields
            })
        })
            .then(response => response.json())
            .then(data => {
                // Process the data
                console.log(data);
            })
            .catch(error => {
                // Handle the error
                console.error(error);
            });
    }
