Could you please add Get method for activities without filtering by user/organisation/deal.
You already have inverted methods for user/organisation/deal retrieving activities, but all of them are extremely slow. Please implement get all for activities

Hi, ab1

If you run GET /activities and not specify anything, it should give you all activities in the response. I hope this helps.

All the best

It brings only user activities when user_id=0.
But it does not expose all organisations’ and deals’ activities. You have to call it for every organisation and it is so slow.

@ab1, this endpoint brings all activities including Organizations and Deals.
Activities can’t exist without being associated with a User so all activities (including those associated with People, Orgs, Deals) are shown when searching all Users.

My guess is you’re just running into the 500 limit

Hi David,
I know what is 500 limits, it is not a problem.
I just want to retrieve all activities without reference to particular user/deal/organisation. But it should reflect user_id, deal_id and org_id in that output.

Just check API spec get method for users, organisations and deals. You will see different approach to retrieve actions. Every endpoint output has gaps. For example https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/#!/Activities/get_activities does not return deal_id and org_id.
Next one https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/#!/Organizations/get_organizations_id_activities is very slow, because you have to call it for each deal, etc.

Hi @ab1,

I just checked through our reference page and every Activity retrieved via GET /Activities contains "org_id, "person_id", "deal_id", "lead_id" in the body of the response.

If the Activity isn’t associated with a Org, Person, Deal, etc - the value will be null

If you are not seeing this, can you provide me with an example of your response from this endpoint?

I see if required parameter user_id = 0 it returns all activities.
But it does not work for OrganizationRelationships, where I want to get all relationships for all orgs by passing org_id=0 to
https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/#!/OrganizationRelationships/get_organizationRelationships
here is error output:
{

  • “success”: false,
  • “error”: “Missing required org_id”,
  • “error_info”: “Please check developers.pipedrive.com for more information about Pipedrive API.”,
  • “data”: null,
  • “additional_data”: null

}

So, I have to run the query for each organisation, which is extremally slow.
Could you please make your API consistent across all endpoints.
