Add activity-stream to API

[easysugar]

Hi. I see that backend at Crowdin has its own endpoint for getting the project's last activity: /backend/project_actions/activity_stream.
But I cannot find where this method is in the client API. So can you add this endpoint to the client, please?

Hi @easysugar!

The Crowdin API Client Python - is an interface to the public APIs - crowdin.com, Crowdin Enterprise. It's not supposed to support these backend endpoints.

@andrii-bodnar
OK. But are you planning to add the same endpoint for the last activity to the public API?

[andrii-bodnar]

@easysugar currently, we are not planning such an endpoint in the nearest future, but I need to discuss it with the Team.

Could you please describe your use case in more detail? It will help us a lot with designing this new Activity API. Or we can find a workaround for this case.

[easysugar]

Sure. I want to calculate something like "top contributors" for last week using the last activity.
Currently, I have to use different endpoints (for translations, approvals, comments), get all historical data, and then filter by date.

@easysugar please check the Reports section.

The Top Members or Contribution Raw Data report should help to collect data regarding users' contributions.

[easysugar]

Actually, I would like to make a report by myself. But I will try Reports.

[andrii-bodnar]

The Contribution Raw Data report contains just the raw data regarding contributions so you will be able to calculate the report you want based on this data.

Also, you can check the Raw Report Data app. This app is using the same API call to generate the report.

@andrii-bodnar found that reports can be consumed only by excel format, which isn't comfortable to use in Python.
Also, reports don't contain information about comments count, what I need to use.
