List Activities (Search)

POST https://api.copper.com/developer_api/v1/activities/search

The /search endpoint provides the ability to list records and sort the results by certain parameters. When multiple criteria are provided, records meeting ALL criteria will be returned (the filtering criteria have an 'AND' relationship).

Field Type Details Default
parent object An object describing the resource to which activities must belong (footnote 1).
activity_types activity_type[] The activity types to filter results on (footnote 1). none
page_number number The page number (starting with 1) that you would like to view. 1
page_size number The number of entries included in a page of results 20
minimum_activity_date number The Unix timestamp of the earliest activity date. none
maximum_activity_date number The Unix timestamp of the latest activity date. none
full_result boolean (Optional) If set to true, search performance improves but duplicate activity logs may be returned (footnote 3). false

Footnotes:

  1. parent is specified by: {"id": parent_id, "type": parent_type}. "parent_type" can be "lead", "person", "company", "opportunity", "project", "task".
  2. activity_types is specified by: {"id": activity_type_id, "category": category }. "activity_type_id" and "category" can be retrieved from List Activity Types.
  3. If the List Activities Search endpoint is timing out, a flag full_result=true can be added.
    • The API key must belong to an administrator. Otherwise, the full_result flag will be ignored.
    • One can expect to see multiple entries returned for the same activity if an email was sent to multiple users.
