would return the activity's staff id. Where as,

GET /activities.json?_fields=staff(email)

would return the staff object, including any optional fields or objects within the parenthesis. In the above examples case, it would return the staff objects default values and optional email value.

Sample Response

GET /activities.json?_fields=staff(email)&_limit=3

{
   "response" : [
      {
         "subject" : "Give a heads up for the fax that I was about to se",
         "staff" : {
            "email" : "geoff.mcqueen@sample.com",
            "firstname" : "Geoff",
            "id" : "1000",
            "surname" : "McQueen"
         },
         "id" : "11"
      },
      {
         "subject" : "Give a heads up for the fax that I was about to se",
         "staff" : {
            "email" : "geoff.mcqueen@sample.com",
            "firstname" : "Geoff",
            "id" : "1000",
            "surname" : "McQueen"
         },

            "id" : "1000",
            "surname" : "McQueen"
         },
         "id" : "45"
      }
   ],
   "meta" : {
      "status" : "ok",
      "message" : "Everything executed as expected."
   }
}

Handling Interacts

An interact ("interaction") is a sender or recipient of an activity, which can be a staff or contact object (means you can pass in staff and contact optional fields in the _fields parameter). For a single activity, please see the List Activity Interacts Endpoint. Getting the interacts on an activity has never been easier. To include the interactions of all activities, please include the "interact" _fields option. For example,

GET /activities.json?_fields=interacts

This will attach an interact object to each activity in your response. Each interact has an owner_id and owner_type ("staff" or "contact"). The response will now also contain "staff" and "contacts". You can use the owner id and type to access the interact's owner details.

Using _fields=interacts

Using the "interacts" fields option alters the structure of the API response. Instead of an Array, it will return a Hash containing the original response under "activities", an array of staff under "staff" and contacts under "contacts".

The interacts fields option also introduces a new filter for interact types.

_filters=interacts(type(to,from,creator,cc,bcc,attendee,attended,did_not_attend))

Sample:

GET activities.json?_skip_auth=1&_fields=firstname,surname,email,interacts&_filters=interact(type(from,creator))

{
   "meta":{
      "more_info":"https://affinitylive.jira.com/wiki/display/APIS/Status+Codes#ok",
