Django Activity Stream is a module to generate JSON feeds of activities such as "justquick (actor) closed (verb) issue 2 (object) on django-activity-stream (target) 12 hours ago" in Activity Streams format.

Here is a simple, minimal example of a JSON serialized activity:

  {
    "published": "2011-02-10T15:04:55Z",
    "actor": {
      "url": "http://example.org/martin",
      "objectType" : "person",
      "id": "tag:example.org,2011:martin",
      "image": {
        "url": "http://example.org/martin/image",
        "width": 250,
        "height": 250
      },
      "displayName": "Martin Smith"
    },
    "verb": "post",
    "object" : {
      "url": "http://example.org/blog/2011/02/entry",
      "id": "tag:example.org,2011:abc123/xyz"
    },
    "target" : {
      "url": "http://example.org/blog/",
      "objectType": "blog",
      "id": "tag:example.org,2011:abc123",
      "displayName": "Martin's Blog"
    }
  }

A single activity consists of an actor (required), a verb (required), an an object (optional), and a target (optional). In Django Activity Stream each of those noun components might be any properly registered Django Model.

There are some pre-defined streams such as User streams (what the given user did) or Target streams (what happened to the given target) and you can create your own custom ones.
