How to get an activity by external ID

[longstone]

I'm facing the problem that I can't get a activity by external ID which in my case is a blocker. How can we solve this?

The jive-sdk doesn't have an explicit API for this (yet!), but here is the format for fetching it:

http://[host]/api/jivelinks/v1/extstreams/[extstreaminstanceid]/extactivities/[externalid]

You will need to use the external stream instance oauth credentials to fetch it from jive. The external stream instance should have been persisted to your db on registration.

I am thinking of creating an explicit fetch API for external activity, something like

jive.extstreams.fetchActivityByExternalID( externalStreamInstanceID, externalID)

this is working now, but i can't create a pull request unless the last is accepted/merged.
