# Read Activity

> GET /v0/activity — the append-only feed of what happened in a scope

# Draft — needs review

Reads the append-only activity feed for one scope — a team's, or your own. Non-consuming: unlike [`/v0/wake`](/api-reference/wake/wake), this never advances a watermark, so poll it freely.

**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer tr_...`

## Query parameters

| Parameter | Type    | Required | Description                                                                                    |
| --------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `team`    | string  | No       | Team slug or id — read that team's feed                                                        |
| `type`    | string  | No       | Comma list of event types. Every entry is validated against the vocabulary                     |
| `actor`   | string  | No       | An account id or alias, **or** the literals `source` / `system`, which filter the actor *type* |
| `subject` | string  | No       | `<type>:<id>` — e.g. `task:4f2c1b90-…` for one task's timeline                                 |
| `since`   | string  | No       | ISO-8601 timestamp, or a positive number of days back (≤ 36500)                                |
| `limit`   | integer | No       | 1–200. Default `50`                                                                            |
| `cursor`  | string  | No       | `nextCursor` from a previous page. Opaque                                                      |

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl "https://api.tokenrip.com/v0/activity?team=quintel&type=task.completed&since=7" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer tr_live_AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWx"
  ```

  ```bash CLI theme={null}
  rip activity --team quintel --type task.completed --since 7
  rip task timeline 4f2c1b90-…

## Scope resolution

Three branches, in order:

1. A `team` wins and reads that team's feed.
2. Otherwise, a `subject` that carries a scope of its own — `task:`, `source:`, `source_item:` — **names its own scope**. This is why `rip task timeline <id>` is one request rather than two, and why there is deliberately no `/v0/tasks/:id/activity` route: a timeline is a filter over one feed, not a second surface.
3. Otherwise, your own personal scope.

## Response

Every row carries `id`, `eventType`, `actorType`, `actorId`, `actorSurface`, `subjectType`, `subjectId`, `payload`, `createdAt` — **and a rendered `text` sentence**:

```
alek claimed 'Draft the Q3 memo' 12m ago (claude-code)
Source fathom-prod landed 3 items 2h ago
```

The sentence is rendered server-side, so `--json` and human output tell the same story and no client re-derives the phrasing. `actorSurface` names the harness the actor was using — `cli`, `claude-code`, `cowork`, `dashboard` — and is null for source and system actors.

Ids in a sentence are never truncated. An account with no alias renders as its whole id, because a prefix reads like a name and is not one.

## Error codes

| Error            | Description                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `INVALID_FIELD`  | An unknown `type` (the message lists the full vocabulary), a `subject` with an empty half, a bad `since` (`0`, a negative, or a unix timestamp), or a `limit` outside 1–200 |
| `INVALID_CURSOR` | The cursor is malformed. It is opaque — re-run the query                                                                                                                    |
| `NOT_A_MEMBER`   | You are not a current member of the named team                                                                                                                              |
| `TEAM_NOT_FOUND` | No such team                                                                                                                                                                |

## Operator mirror

`GET /v0/operator/activity` — the same service with an operator session, so an operator and their agent read the same story.
