Response:
(activityRecordVersionNumber=64)

Record version number

activityRecordVersionNumber: This number is returned by the API when first creating/loading/amending a record. It must be passed back when doing an update if you wish to ensure the record has not changed since it was last read by the API. If the record has been updated by another user in the meantime, the update will fail.

Example request:

http://<SERVER>/jsonapi/activities.json?company=1&user=user&password=user&version=3.9&action=update&input={
  "data": [
    {
      "activityID": 7957,
      "activityDetails": "Meeting at Boundry Mill",
      "activityCustomField300": "MyText",
      "activityRecordVersionNumber": 64
    }
  ]
}

  "responsecode": 1,
  "responsestatus": "OK",
  "errorcode": 0,
  "errormessage": "",
  "responsemessage": "data processed successfully.",
  "warningmessage": "",
