      description: 'Return a list of recent activity on the users account with the most recent items first.

        `content` will be suitable for display in HTML and uses only the ``, ``, ``,

        `

        ` and `` tags.


        The `type` value indicates what the notification is about. Notification types may be added in the future

        without warning. Below is an incomplete list of notification types.

        **Note**: While all parameters are optional, the server sets arbitrary (but large) limits

        on the number of notifications returned if you set a very old `updated_after` value or `limit` of `0` for a

        user with many notifications.'

      description: 'Splitwise uses OAuth 2 with the authorization code flow. To connect via OAuth 2, you''ll need to [register your app](https://secure.splitwise.com/apps). When you register, you''ll be given a key and secret.


        **Note**: OAuth can be a very confusing protocol to implement correctly, and we **strongly** recommend

        that you use an existing OAuth library to connect to Splitwise. You can find a list of OAuth client libraries at the

        [OAuth community site](https://oauth.net/code/#client-libraries).

You should present this key to the server via the Authorization header as a Bearer token. The API key is an access token for your personal account, so keep it as safe as you would a password.

        If your key becomes compromised or you want to invalidate your existing key for any other reason, you can do so on the app details page by generating a new key.'
