Pins

Overview

Sometimes you'll want to pin your favorite activity to a feed. You can pin an activity like this:

PinActivityRequest pinRequest = PinActivityRequest.builder().userID(testUserId).build();

PinActivityResponse response = testFeed.pinActivity(activityId, pinRequest).getData();

When you read a feed pinned activities are automatically returned:

UnpinActivityRequest unpinRequest = UnpinActivityRequest.builder().UserID(testUserId).build();

UnpinActivityResponse response = testFeed.unpinActivity(activityId, unpinRequest).getData();

Query pinned activities

queryPinnedActivities returns the pinned activities of a feed, with filtering, sorting and pagination. It applies the same read rules as querying activities:

• shadowed and expired activities are returned only to their author
• removed and soft-deleted activities are not returned
• private activities are returned only to their author, and to server-side requests without a user
• activities authored by a user blocked in either direction are not returned

A pin whose activity is hidden is left out of the response, so a page can contain fewer items than limit, or none, while next is still set. Paginate on next, not on the page size.

Server-side requests can pass user_id to read the pins as that user sees them. The feed read permission is still checked as a server-side request.

Server-side requests without a user can include hidden pins:

• include_moderated_activities: shadowed and removed activities
• include_soft_deleted_activities: soft-deleted activities
• include_expired_activities: expired activities

const response = await client.feeds.queryPinnedActivities({
  feed_group_id: "user",
  feed_id: "john",
  include_moderated_activities: true,
  include_expired_activities: true,
  limit: 20,
});
console.log(response.pinned_activities, response.next);

GetOrCreateFeed returns pinned activities too (pinned_activities), but does not apply these rules.
