Description

Title: Enhancement request: Add originating user to the activities that appear in the user's activities stream.

Issue found of: March 26th, 2022

Endpoint(s):
  • GET /me/activities
Scope(s):
  • None (application is not using authentication i.e., implicit flow)
Steps to reproduce:
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.soundcloud.com/me/activities?access=playable%2Cpreview&limit=20" -H  "accept: application/json; charset=utf-8'
Expected behaviour:

It would be great if the /me/activites endpoint returned a field to identify which of the users that the authenticated user follows has caused that activity to appear in their stream.

Actual behaviour:

Activites are currently returned without the originator flagged and so activities appear in the stream without context.

Start with the GET /me/activities endpoint and review the documented response shape for activity items. Define how the originating followed user should be identified in each activity, then verify that the response provides enough context for consumers to explain why the activity appeared.
