# Read Audit Activities

##

```none
POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/activities
```

You can use a `POST` request to get filtered audit activity events for a selected environment while removing sensitive or personal filtering information from the request URL. The following sample shows the `POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/activities` request, which specifies a SCIM filtering expression in the request body.

> | -------- | ------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
> | `filter` | String  | Required  | Sets filtering criteria for events. Refer to available filters below. |
> | `limit`  | Integer | Optional  | The number of results to return. Default value is 100.                |
> | `offset` | String  | Optional  | Returns next or current set of results.                               |

### Filtering data

The `GET {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/activities` and `POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/activities` requests accept SCIM filtering expressions to fine-tune the response data. For large collections, additional filtering expressions can be added to the request URL to focus on particular event types.

The minimum filter must include a date range for either the recorded event time or the created event time.

| Filter                                     | Description                                      |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| recordedAt lt "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ" | Audit events recorded before the specified time. |
| recordedAt gt "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ" | Audit events recorded after the specified time.  |
| createdAt lt "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"  | Audit events created before the specified time.  |
| createdAt gt "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"  | Audit events created after the specified time.   |

For example, this SCIM filter returns audit events from the start date of "2018-01-01" and an end date of "2018-03-31":

```sh
https://api.pingone.com/v1/environments/{{envID}}/activities?filter=recordedAt gt "2018-01-01T00:00:00Z" AND recordedAt lt "2018-03-31T23:59:00Z"
```

The filter can also include any one of the following:

* Population ID

* Actor ID and optional population ID.

* Action Type and optional population ID

* Resource ID

* Resource Type and optional population ID

| Filter                           | Description                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| resources.population.id eq ":id" | Audit events associated with the specified population.                                                                                                                                       |
| actors.id eq ":id"               | Audit events performed by the specified user ID or client ID. Optionally, you can include the associated population.                                                                         |
| action.type                      | Audit events recorded for the specified type of action (such as, authentication, password reset). Optionally, you can include the associated population.                                     |
| resources.id eq ":id"            | Audit events recorded for the specified resource.                                                                                                                                            |
| resources.type                   | Audit events recorded for the specified type of resource. This can be any one of the following: ALL, USER, ENVIRONMENT, ORGANIZATION. Optionally, you can include the associated population. |
| tags                             | Audit events for the `adminIdentityEvent` tag. Currently, the `adminIdentityEvent` tag is the only one supported.                                                                            |

These SCIM operators can be applied to the following attributes:

* `eq` (equals)

  Supported attributes: `correlationid`, `actors.user.id`, `actors.user.name`, `actors.client.id`, `action.type`, `resources.id`, `resources.type`, `resources.population.id`, `org.id`, `environment.id`

* `gt` (greater than)

  Supported attributes: `recordedAt`, `createdAt`

* `lt` (less than)

  Supported attributes: `recordedAt`, `createdAt`

* `ge` (greater than or equal to)

  Supported attributes: `recordedAt`, `createdAt`

* `le` (less than or equal to)

  Supported attributes: `recordedAt`, `createdAt`

* `and` (logical AND)

  Logical AND for building compound expressions in which both expressions are true.

* `or` (logical OR)

  Logical OR for building compound expressions if either expression is true.

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | These SCIM operators are not supported: `ne` (not equal), `co` (contains), `ew` (ends with), `in` (includes), `pr` (present, is a non-empty or non-null value), `sw` (starts with), `not` (logical NOT). |
