## Notes

<Info>
  Use the `activity_log_id` from these results as the `reply_to` value when [adding a comment](/api-reference/endpoint/tasks/add-comment) to create threaded conversations.
</Info>

<Tip>
  Set `only_user_comments` to `true` to filter out system-generated entries and see only comments posted by users.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Use `limit` and `offset` together to paginate through large activity histories. The `total_count` field tells you how many entries exist in total.
</Tip>
