Check the http://yoursite/_api/web

It will returns the attribute called "LastItemModified".

Just make a GET request to following URL.

{site url}/_api/web/LastItemModifiedDate

Example using jQuery

$.ajax({
    url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/LastItemModifiedDate",
    type: "GET",
    headers: {
        "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
    },
    success: function(data) {
        console.log(data.d.LastItemModifiedDate);
    },
    error: function(error) {
        alert(JSON.stringify(error));
    }
});

  • Here is a fetch() version using ES6: let url = 'http://www.example.com/yourweb/_api/web/lists/getbytitle(\'Member Your List Name\')/LastItemModifiedDate'; fetch(url,{ method:'get', credentials:'include', headers:{ "Accept":"application/json;odata=nometadata" } }) .then(res => res.json()) .then(json => console.log(json.value)) .catch(error => console.error("Caught Error\n",error))

I am surprised nobody mentioned the difference between the LastItemModifiedDate and LastItemUserModifiedDate. The latter property was added later by Microsoft to reflect changes made by user accounts only. The former property was influenced by changes made by the system.

REST call:

sites/.../_api/web/LastItemUserModifiedDate

Read about it here:

Modified dates in Site Contents should reflect content changes, not system changes.

  • How's this different from Atish answer?

  • There are 2 properties, Atish only mentions the date that is also influenced by system accounts.

  • While both LastItemModifiedDate and LastItemUserModifiedDate can be used on the /web level, in SharePoint 2013, it appears only LastItemModifiedDate can be used with a list /_api/web/lists/getbytitle('your list')/LastItemModifiedDate

  • Site's last activity date will be updated, when a file is updated or added, list item is updated or added, when a user visits the site.
  • There are 2 properties "lastitemmodifieddate" and "lastitemusermodifieddate"
  • Last item modified date : Gives the last activity date
  • List item user modified date : Gives the last date when a list / library are updated.

you can use the below REST end points to get these dates:

  • siteurl/_api/web/LastItemModifiedDate

  • siteurl/_api/web/LastItemUserModifiedDate

Refer to "LastItemModifiedDate" to track the sites latest activity date.

You can also get the date using Graph API (MS Graph site object with "LastModifiedDateTime" property), this gets data from "Last activity” field via Admin Center GUI.

Note that it takes 48 hours to sync the data in M365 admin center https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/activity-reports/activity-reports?view=o365-worldwide
