**Path Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `{event_id}` | string | Yes | Alphanumeric OpaqueId of the event to acknowledge |

**curl Example:**

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.fast.io/current/event/abc123xyz789def456ghi789jkl01/ack/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {jwt_token}"
```

**Response (200 OK):**

```json
{
  "result": true

| `1664 (Datastore Error)` | 500 | Failed to persist the acknowledgment |
| `1650 (Authentication Invalid)` | 401 | Missing or invalid JWT token |

**Notes:**
- Acknowledgment is per-user. Acknowledging for one user does not affect others.
- Same access rules as event details apply.

## Compact Responses (`output=`)

Every endpoint that returns event objects (search, details) accepts an optional `output` query parameter that selects the response shape. A single detail-level token may be combined with modifier tokens; specifying two detail levels (e.g. `?output=terse,standard`) returns **HTTP 400**. When `output=` is omitted, responses are `full` and byte-for-byte unchanged.

| Level | Fields returned (cumulative) |
|-------|------------------------------|
| `terse` | `event_id`, `event`, `category`, `object_id`, `created` |
| `standard` | terse + `sub_category`, `calling_user`, `org_id`, `workspace_id`, `user_id`, `share_id`, `acknowledged`, `template` (containing `description` + `params`), `severity`, `visibility`, `notification` |
| `full` | standard + `required_params`, `requires_parent_node`, `permission` |

Use `terse` for activity feed tickers and unread-count polling — it carries the event identity (`event_id`), name (`event`), category, target object, and a timestamp (`created`), which is the minimum a feed row needs to render without a follow-up fetch. Use `standard` for the most common event list/detail views — it adds subcategory, every profile-link id (calling user, owning org/workspace/share), the acknowledgment flag, the `template` object (which carries the human-readable `description` and any template `params`), and the render-hint enums: `severity` (drives feed-row color/icon), `visibility` (distinguishes the Activity, Audit-Log, and internal tabs), and `notification` (drives bell/notification rendering). Use `full` (or omit the parameter) for audit-log exports and event schema introspection. Unknown tokens are silently ignored. Add the `markdown` modifier (e.g. `?output=standard,markdown`) to receive the response as GitHub-flavored Markdown (`Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=UTF-8`) instead of JSON — see the cross-cutting `?output=` reference in `llms.txt` for the full contract.

Poll for activity updates on a specific workspace, share, or org.

**Auth:** Required (JWT). Same rate limits and parameters as `GET /current/activity/poll/`.

**Path Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `{profile_id}` | string | Yes | 19-digit numeric profile ID (org, workspace, or share). For upload progress, use your user ID. |

**Access Requirements:**

| Profile Type | Permission Required |
|--------------|-------------------|
| User (self) | Authenticated |
| Organization | `PERM_VIEW` on the org |
| Workspace | `PERM_VIEW` on the workspace |
| Share | Share view permissions + multiplayer enabled (multiplayer status is automatically determined based on share configuration -- not directly togglable via API) |

**curl Example:**

```bash
curl -X GET "https://api.fast.io/current/activity/poll/1234567890123456789/?wait=30&fields=storage,members&updated=1&lastactivity=2025-01-20%2010:30:45.123456" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {jwt_token}"
```

Response format is identical to `GET /current/activity/poll/`.

---

### Polling Workflow

1. Make initial poll request (no `lastactivity` parameter)
2. Receive response with `activity` fields and `lastactivity` timestamp
3. Process changes by fetching updated resources based on activity field names
4. Make next poll with `lastactivity` from previous response
5. Repeat -- server returns immediately on change, or after `wait` seconds timeout

### Activity Key Patterns

| Key Pattern | What Changed |
|-------------|-------------|
| `storage:{fileId}` | File added, updated, or removed |
| `preview:{fileId}` | File preview/thumbnail is ready |
| `metadata:{fileId}` | File's extracted metadata fields were written (use to refresh a single row during a template extraction) |
| `ai_chat:{chatId}` | AI chat message updated |
| `comments:{nodeId}` | Comment added or updated |
| `member:{userId}` | Membership changed |

### Anti-Patterns

- **Do NOT** loop on resource detail endpoints to wait for previews or processing.
- **Instead**, poll on the workspace/share and watch for the relevant activity key.
- **For uploads**, use your user ID as the `profile_id` since upload progress is tied to the user, not a workspace.

---

## WebSocket (Real-Time)

Optional real-time delivery (~300ms latency vs ~1s for polling). Sends both `activity` messages (field names for change detection) and enriched `event` messages (full event details) via WebSocket. Backwards compatible -- existing clients continue to work without changes.

---

### `GET /current/websocket/auth/{profile_id}`

Generate a WebSocket authentication JWT for a specific profile. Tokens are valid for 24 hours.

**Auth:** Required (JWT). No credit consumption.

**Path Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `{profile_id}` | string | Yes | 19-digit numeric ID of the user, org, workspace, or share to subscribe to |

**curl Example:**

```bash
curl -X GET "https://api.fast.io/current/websocket/auth/1234567890123456789" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {jwt_token}"
```

**Response (200 OK):**

```json
{
  "result": true,
  "expires_in": 86400,
  "auth_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
}
```

**Response Fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `result` | boolean | `true` on success |
| `expires_in` | integer | Token lifetime in seconds (86400 = 24 hours) |
| `auth_token` | string | Signed JWT with `websocket` scope, bound to the requested profile |

**Access Requirements:**

| Profile Type | Permission Required |
|--------------|-------------------|
| User (self) | None beyond authentication |
| Organization | `PERM_VIEW` on the org |
| Workspace | `PERM_VIEW` on the workspace |
| Share | `canViewShareDetails` |

**Error Responses:**

| Error Code | HTTP Status | Description |
|------------|-------------|-------------|
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | No profile ID provided or invalid format |
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Profile type unsupported, not found, or user lacks permissions |
| `1650 (Authentication Invalid)` | 401 | Missing or invalid JWT, or internal JWT generation failure |

---

### WebSocket Connection

Connect to: `wss://{host}/api/websocket/?token={auth_token}`

Where `{auth_token}` is the JWT returned from the auth endpoint above.

### WebSocket Message Types

The server pushes two types of JSON messages:

#### `activity` Messages

Indicate which resource categories changed. Use these to know what to re-fetch:

```json
{
  "response": "activity",
  "activity": ["storage:2abc...", "preview:2abc..."]
}
```

The `activity` array contains the same activity key patterns as the polling endpoint.

#### `event` Messages

Sent alongside `activity` messages when structured event data is available. Provide full event details for immediate UI updates without a follow-up API call:

```json
{
  "result": true,
  "response": "event",
  "time": "2026-03-22 14:30:45.123456 UTC",
  "timestamp": "1711123456.1234",
  "event": "workspace_storage_file_added",
  "category": "workspace",
  "sub_category": "storage",
  "object_id": "abc123def456ghi789jkl012mno34",
  "calling_user": "1234567890123456789",
  "activity_field": "storage",
  "data": {
    "name": "report.pdf",
    "parent_node_id": "xyz789...",
    "size": 1048576
  }
}
```

**`event` message fields:** `result` (boolean, always true), `response` (always `"event"`), `time` (server send time, `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.ffffff UTC`, e.g. `"2026-03-22 14:30:45.123456 UTC"`), `timestamp` (event trigger time as microtime float string, e.g. `"1711123456.1234"`), `event` (event name), `category`, `sub_category`, `object_id` (affected object OpaqueId), `calling_user` (actor's 19-digit ID), `activity_field` (corresponding activity field name), `data` (event-specific details, shape varies by event type).

**Backwards compatible:** `activity` messages are always sent. `event` messages are supplementary. Existing clients need no changes. Payload kept under ~4KB.

**Permission gating:** Enriched `event` messages are only sent for member-level events. Admin and targeted events receive only the `activity` message.

### WebSocket Fallback

If the WebSocket connection drops, fall back to long-polling (`GET /current/activity/poll/{profile_id}/`). Activity polling returns field names and timestamps. To retrieve full event details after reconnection, use `GET /current/events/search/` with a `created-min` filter.

---

## Realtime Auth (Collaborative Rooms)

Separate from WebSocket activity channels, these endpoints provide authentication for collaborative editing rooms.

---

### `GET /current/realtime/auth/{room_id}`

Generate a realtime JWT for a workspace or share collaborative room. Tokens are valid for 24 hours.

**Auth:** Required (JWT). Subject to global rate limiting; see the rate-limit section in the main reference. No credit consumption.

**Path Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `{room_id}` | string | Yes | 19-digit numeric ID of the workspace or share to join |

**curl Example:**

```bash
curl -X GET "https://api.fast.io/current/realtime/auth/1234567890123456789" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {jwt_token}"
```

**Response (200 OK):**

```json
{
  "result": true,
  "expires_in": 86400,
  "auth_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
}
```

**Response Fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `result` | boolean | `true` on success |
| `expires_in` | integer | Token lifetime in seconds (86400 = 24 hours) |
| `auth_token` | string | Signed JWT with `realtime` scope, bound to the requested room |

**Access Requirements:**

| Profile Type | Permission Required |
|--------------|-------------------|
| Workspace | At least `PERM_VIEW` |
| Share | `canViewShareDetails` + multiplayer enabled (multiplayer status is automatically determined based on share configuration -- not directly togglable via API) |

**Error Responses:**

| Error Code | HTTP Status | Description |
|------------|-------------|-------------|
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Missing room ID |
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Room ID is not numeric |
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Room ID does not correspond to a workspace or share |
| `1680 (Access Denied)` | 403 | User lacks permissions on the room |
| `1650 (Authentication Invalid)` | 401 | Missing or invalid JWT, or internal JWT generation failure |

**Notes:**
- Only workspace and share profile types are accepted as room IDs.

---

### `GET /current/realtime/auth/validate/`

Validate a realtime JWT and extract the room ID. Intended for backend services to verify tokens.

**Auth:** Bearer token in Authorization header (the realtime JWT to validate, not a user JWT).

**curl Example:**

```bash
curl -X GET "https://api.fast.io/current/realtime/auth/validate/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
```

**Response (200 OK):**

```json
{
  "result": true,
  "room_id": "1234567890123456789"
}
```

**Response Fields:**

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `result` | boolean | `true` on success |
| `room_id` | string | The workspace or share profile ID the token is bound to |

**Error Responses:**

| Error Code | HTTP Status | Description |
|------------|-------------|-------------|
| `1650 (Authentication Invalid)` | 401 | Missing Authorization header |
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Malformed Authorization header |
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Authorization header does not use Bearer scheme |
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Bearer keyword present but no token follows |
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Token is not valid JWT format |
| `1680 (Access Denied)` | 403 | Token signature verification or expiration check failed |
| `1654 (Internal Error)` | 500 | Token payload is malformed or missing required fields |
| `1605 (Invalid Input)` | 400 | Token scope is not `realtime` |

**Notes:**
- Only validates tokens with `realtime` scope. WebSocket-scoped tokens are rejected.
- Validation is performed using the JWT alone.
