Activity Stream via REST API

[Shalvika]

On the Jira Dashboard for both OnDemand and Download, I get an activity stream pane which I understand is a gadget plug-in. I would like to show the feeds from this stream on another app via the REST API. So my question is: "Is there a way to get the activities stream displayed on a user's dashboard?" I have read about consuming acitivity streams but when i hit the basic url 'https://studio.atlassian.com/activity' which can be accessed anonmously, I get an authentication failure. When add authentication, I still get failure.

<h1>HTTP Status 401 - Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : AUTHENTICATED_FAILED</h1>

So I am not sure whether the documentation is incorrect or if the url needs to be modified. I am using the latest rest api.

I understood the mistake I was making. It was really very very silly and stupid. I had put my own jira's url. Somehow from the example what I understood that 'https://studio.atlassian.com/' was the standard uniform url

It appears to be an RSS output, not JSON.

And how are you accessing the URL, from your own application, script, website?

Currently I am accessing this url 'https://studio.atlassian.com/activity' using a REST client (postman for chrome) to first see what kind of result i get. My actual requirement is to access this via my own application which can make external calls via HTTP client libraries.
