API: Are there plans to include description in the return objects from /athlete/activities?

[aligg]

Hey everyone! 

I'm working on a project and belatedly realized that description is available in the response from the get activity endpoint, but not from the list activities endpoint. 
It seems so gratuitous to then call out to getActivity for each activity from the list results! 

Does anyone know if there are plans to include description in the list endpoint as well? 

It's my first time posting to this discussion board so hopefully this is an okay question to ask and I added okay labels and tags. As a first time poster I wasn't sure the difference between labels and tags really!

Thanks!

How can a description not in English be reported through the /activities interface

[Jan_Mantau]

@linxi The /athlete/activities endpoint (the summary) doesn't contain descriptions, regardless of the language. You need the /activities/{activityID} endpoint for that. The language shouldn't be a problem seeing that even emojis come through. Or do you mean something else?

Hey Aligg, thank you for the post. We appreciate your feedback, but at this time there are no plans to include description in that endpoint.
