Trello API: what are actions?

I am going through Trello API docs. I am new to trello. I am trying to understand, what is below API going to give me?

GET /1/actions/[idAction]

what are these actions? how are actions and cards associated as in what is the relationship between them?

Thank you.

Solution

  • Trello actions are basic action associated almost with all Trello entities. Trello action could be for example addAttachmentToCard which provides you information that attachment was added to card, this action is generated immediately when you add some attachment to card.

    Action is defined as:

    id
idMemberCreator
data
type
date

    If you want get all actions of specific card you are able to use GET /1/cards/[card id or shortlink]. The relationship between Action and another Trello entity is N to one - Trello entity could have N actions but specific action (is defined by ID!) is associated only with one entity.
