Aggregate activities
POST /v1/activities/aggregate
Count activities with filtering and grouping.
An activities aggregate needs a narrowing filter. Bitrix24 cannot count all the activities of an account within the time allowed for one call, so on a large account a request without a narrowing gets no answer at all — however many times it is repeated. One of the three narrowings is enough: the
ownerTypeId+ownerIdpair, orresponsibleId, or a date bound oncreatedAt/updatedAt/deadline. The current list of narrowings, and whether the account requires them right now, live indata.aggregateFilterRequirementof the GET /v1/activities/fields response.
Standard fields:
typeId— activity type (forgroupBy)ownerTypeId— parent entity type (forgroupBy)responsibleId— responsible person (forgroupBy)completed— completion status (forgroupBy)
All fields in aggregatable are categorical identifiers, so the main scenario is count with grouping. The numeric functions sum/avg/min/max are rarely used.
Request fields (body)
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
aggregate |
array | no | Array of aggregations. Each element: { "field": "*", "function": "count" }. Without the array — count only |
filter |
object | yes | Filter by GET /v1/activities/fields fields. Must carry one of the narrowings (see the callout above). Filtering syntax |
groupBy |
string | string[] | no | Field or array of fields to group by (maximum 5). Allowed values — from the list above |
Examples
curl — personal key
Number of activities for a deal (ownerTypeId: 2 — deal), grouped by activity type:
curl -X POST "https://vibecode.bitrix24.com/v1/activities/aggregate" \
-H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"filter": { "ownerTypeId": 2, "ownerId": 741, "completed": "Y" },
"groupBy": "typeId"
}'

const { success, data } = await res.json()
console.log('Total completed activities for the deal:', data.count)
console.log('Distribution by type:', data.groups)

const { success, data } = await res.json()
To group by several fields, pass an array:
"groupBy": ["typeId", "completed"](maximum 5).
Other scenarios
Number of activities for a period — a date bound counts as a narrowing:
{
"filter": { ">=createdAt": "2026-07-01", "<createdAt": "2026-08-01" }
}
Number of activities assigned to one employee:
{
"filter": { "responsibleId": 12 }
}
Activities for a contact (ownerTypeId: 3) grouped by completion status:
{
"filter": { "ownerTypeId": 3, "ownerId": 485 },
"groupBy": "completed"
}
Response fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
success |
boolean | Always true on success |
data.count |
number | Total number of records matching the filter |
data.aggregates |
object | Numeric-function results grouped by field name. An empty object when the request carries no sum, avg, min or max |
data.groups |
array | Groups (only with groupBy). Each element: grouping fields + count |
data.meta.totalRecords |
number | Total number of records matching the filter |
data.meta.recordsProcessed |
number | How many records were processed (for count — 0, records are not retrieved) |
data.meta.truncated |
boolean | true when the numbers were computed over only some of the records that match the filter: fewer records were read than data.count promised — including when more than 5000 matched the filter — or the slice was cut short by a sub-page error. The size of the gap is reported in data.meta.recordsShortfall, the interrupted slice in data.meta.pageErrorSample. Always present, and false on a complete response. If the request has neither groupBy nor a numeric function, no records are fetched and the flag is always false |
data.meta.recordsShortfall |
number | Present only when rows are missing: totalRecords − recordsProcessed. count and totalRecords stay complete — only groups and the numeric aggregations are partial |
Response example
Response to the main query (groupBy: "typeId"):
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"count": 2600,
"aggregates": {},
"groups": [
{ "typeId": 1, "count": 1200 },
{ "typeId": 2, "count": 800 },
{ "typeId": 6, "count": 600 }
],
"meta": {
"totalRecords": 2600,
"recordsProcessed": 2600,
"truncated": false
}
}
}
Without groupBy, the data.groups field is absent from the response.
Error response example
400 — groupBy on a non-aggregatable field or a non-existent field:
{
"success": false,
"error": {
"code": "INVALID_PARAMS",
"message": "groupBy field 'subject' is not aggregatable on this entity. Available: typeId, ownerTypeId, responsibleId, completed"
}
}
Errors
| HTTP | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | MISSING_REQUIRED_FILTER |
The filter carries no narrowing. The response lists the accepted narrowings and includes a ready-to-paste example body |
| 400 | INVALID_PARAMS |
groupBy on a non-aggregatable field or more than 5 fields in groupBy |
| 401 | TOKEN_MISSING |
The API key has no configured tokens |
| 403 | SCOPE_DENIED |
The API key lacks the crm scope |
| 422 | AGGREGATION_LIMIT_EXCEEDED |
Bitrix24 did not answer an aggregate without a narrowing within the time allowed for one call. Repeating the same request will not help — add a narrowing. There is no Retry-After header here: the refusal is not transient |
| 429 | RATE_LIMITED |
Rate limit exceeded: 300 requests per minute per portal, all API keys of the portal share one limit. The exact value arrives in the x-ratelimit-limit header (the cap is divided across replicas). Retry after the delay in the Retry-After header |

Known specifics
Universal ownerTypeId. For counters by parent entity, use the ownerTypeId + ownerId pair: 2 — deal, 3 — contact, 4 — company, 1 — lead. This is the most common scenario for /v1/activities/aggregate.
Why exactly these three narrowings. These are the fields for which the activities table has an index whose leading column is the field itself: OWNER_ID+OWNER_TYPE_ID, RESPONSIBLE_ID, CREATED, LAST_UPDATED, DEADLINE. authorId, editorId and providerTypeId have no index at all, while completed, typeId, providerId, direction and status have too few distinct values — one value still covers almost the whole account. Bounds on startTime and endTime do not count as a narrowing on their own, but you can pass them alongside a real one.
The platform switches the requirement on per account. While it is off, a request without a narrowing still goes to Bitrix24 and gets the same answer as before on a small account; on a large one it comes back with 422. To check the state, read data.aggregateFilterRequirement.enforcement in the GET /v1/activities/fields response — enforced (the requirement is on) or advisory (still only a recommendation).
The truncation marker travels with the number itself. When a response arrives with meta.truncated: true, the marker truncated: true sits inside every field object in data.aggregates and on every element of data.groups, and data.meta.warnings gains a warning with the code AGGREGATE_TRUNCATED. A client that reads only the number itself therefore sees that it was computed over only some of the records. None of these markers appear on a complete response.
