Hi everyone!
I am trying to get list of events with event properties for a user. I see that events are shown in Events Stream on UI, however User Activity API returns OK response, but empty list of events.
I send cURL like this based on API documentation:
curl -u API_Key:Secret_Key 'https://amplitude.com/api/2/useractivity?user={AmplitudeID}'
Please advise what is wrong. Maybe it is a bug? Thanks!

Hello
Looks like you are using the User Activity endpoint, here.
When I tried using the following call through Terminal(Mac) the response worked as expected as the documentation details:
curl -u API_Key:Secret_Key 'https://amplitude.com/api/2/useractivity?user=221369364143'
Could you try the above call and simply replacing the Amplitude ID with that of the user you want to pull and the API_Key and Secret_Key of the Amplitude project that user belongs to, please? Let me know how that goes!
Hello
Does your response contain any events? I sent the same curl command through Terminal(Mac), response is ok, userData is present, but there are no events, although events are present for this user on Web UI in Events stream.
{"events": [], "userData": {"revenue": 0, "purchases": 0, "usageTime": 0, "firstSeen": -9223372036854775808, "lastSeen": -9223372036854775808, "lastLocationLat": 1.7976931348623157e+308, "lastLocationLong": 1.7976931348623157e+308, "deviceIds": [], "properties": {}, "user_id": "0036C00000f5zPEQAY", "last_device_id": "bbc2389a-f860-5b7f-9bbe-e9cd3836f8b9", "canonical_amplitude_id": 290411990424, "merged_amplitude_ids": [], "merge_times": {}, "aliasing_user_ids": [], "aliased_user_id": null, "aliasing_profiles": {}, "num_events": 0, "num_sessions": 0, "usage_time": 0, "device_ids": [], "last_location": {"lng": 1.7976931348623157e+308, "lat": 1.7976931348623157e+308}}, "metadata": {"missingData": false}}

Hello
Yes the response contains the events as expected. Are you using the correct API Key and Secret Key for the project the user you are looking for?
I am able to replicate the behavior you are describing when I use the wrong project API Key and Secret Key.
