> Fetches a single activity record by its unique activity ID.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/specs/cowork.json get /v2/api/activities/{activityId}
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Youverify Cowork API
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    Entity, Activity, Signal and Case Management endpoints — the core Cowork
    platform object model. Assembled from doc.youverify.co/api-reference-sdk,
    endpoints kept in the exact order they appear in the GitBook navigation.


    Account-wide error responses (401, 429, 500 on every endpoint; 402 on paid
    verification calls; 404 on lookup-by-ID calls) are sourced verbatim from
    Youverify's own "Youverify OS Error Codes" and "Response Codes" pages
    (doc.youverify.co/youverify-os-error-codes, /get-started/response-codes) and
    attached via components.responses, since those pages document them
    account-wide rather than per endpoint. Any error example that a specific
    endpoint's own page actually showed is kept exactly as documented there
    instead of being replaced by these.
