Is there a Basecamp API that shows each time a card was moved to a different column?

Question

In the Basecamp UI, I can see each time a card was moved to a different column, along with the date of the move.

I am not finding an API that shows that same information. Does this kind of API exist?

I have already searched the API documentation on Github, but API documentation is not always intuitive. I also asked my question direction to Basecamp support, and they directed me here.

Answer 1

I have found my own answer. There is a recordings/event API that looks like this: buckets/1/recordings/2/events.json, where '1' is the bucket id, and '2' is the card id. In the returned JSON data, there is a field called 'action' - look for a value of 'adopted'. Under 'details', there are 2 fields called 'new_parent_id' and 'parent_id_was' - these refer to the column ids.

Reading this data will tell you when and where a card was moved to a different column.
