New Google Apps Activity API

In September 2014, Google introduced the Google Apps Activity API, designed to give developers programmatic access to the activity stream of Google Drive, which was first launched in January that year. This API allows applications and extensions to access activity history for individual files and folders within Google Drive through a RESTful interface. By providing programmatic access, the API enables developers to create tools that help users monitor changes to files and folders, such as teachers tracking student edits or auditing shared financial documents during tax season. The launch invites developers to explore the possibilities of building new functionalities using this API, with detailed documentation available for guidance.
