Get list items created by logged in user with REST api

Question

How can I get all list items created or changed by the currently logged in user with this function? What's the correct query?

// Getting list items based on ODATA Query
function getListItems(url, listname, query, complete, failure) {

    // Executing our colors ajax request
    $.ajax({
        url: url + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listname + "')/items" + query,
        method: "GET",
        headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
        success: function (data) {
            complete(data); // Returns JSON collection of the results
        },
        error: function (data) {
            failure(data);
        }
    });

}

Use the $filter query option with Author property to filter items by Modified field:

$filter=AuthorId eq <UserId>

How to retrieve current user via SharePoint REST API

If the current user is not determined, then it could be requested using the following method:

function getCurrentUser(url,complete, failure)
{    
    $.ajax({
        url: url + "/_api/web/currentUser",
        method: "GET",
        headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
        success: function (data) {
            complete(data.d); 
        },
        error: function (data) {
            failure(data);
        }
    });
}

Afterwards, you could retrieve my list items as demonstrated below.

Example: retrieve my list items using SharePoint REST API

function getMyListItems(url, listname,complete, failure) {
  getCurrentUser(url,
    function(user){
       var query = '?$filter=AuthorId eq ' + user.Id;    
       getListItems(url,listname,query,complete,failure); 
    },
    failure
  );
}

I don't believe there is much you can do since the list only stores the User Id. Rather than querying the UserInformationList for the Id, you can grab it from _spPageContextInfo if you are doing this from the client side.

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready( function(){ 
    var userId = _spPageContextInfo.userId; 
    var restURL = url + "?$filter=AuthorId eq " + userId;

    $.ajax({        
      dataType: "json",       
      url: restURL,       
      success: function(data) {  
        //iterate through json objects and output 'my items' to a table 
      }     
    });  
  });  
</script>

//Display items created by user id 1

var currentUserId  = 1;

var url = SPAppWebUrl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)" +
        "/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items?$orderby=OfficeLocation,Department,FirstName&$filter=AuthorId eq " + currentUserId + "&" + "@target='" + SPHostUrl + "'";

    $.ajax(
        {
            url: url,
            type: "GET",
            contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
            headers: { "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" },

            success: function (data) {
            var result = data.d.results;

                for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {

    alert(result[i].FirstName);
            alert(result[i].LastName);
           }
        }

        error: function (err) {
                alert(JSON.stringify(err));
            }
        }
