Get recent user activities

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get recent activities for a given user. This OData function has some default behaviors included to make it operate like a "most recently used" API. The service will query for the most recent historyItems, and then pull those related activities. Activities will be sorted according to the most recent lastModified on the historyItem. This means that activities without historyItems will not be included in the response. The UserActivity.ReadWrite.CreatedByApp permission will also apply extra filtering to the response, so that only activities created by your application are returned. This server-side filtering might result in empty pages if the user is particularly active and other applications have created more recent activities. To get your application's activities, use the nextLink property to paginate.

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	UserActivity.ReadWrite.CreatedByApp
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	UserActivity.ReadWrite.CreatedByApp
Application	Not supported.
