get_user_actions
Fetch a user's activity feed on USCardForum with filtering options for likes, posts, topics, replies, and mentions to analyze detailed engagement patterns.
Instructions
Fetch a user's activity feed with optional filtering.
Args:
username: The user's handle
filter: Action type filter (optional). Common values:
- 1: Likes given
- 2: Likes received
- 4: Topics created
- 5: Replies posted
- 6: Posts (all)
- 7: Mentions
offset: Pagination offset (0, 30, 60, ...)
Returns a list of UserAction objects showing what the user has done.
Use this for detailed activity analysis beyond just replies.
For most cases, get_user_replies or get_user_topics are simpler.
