  • data object Object containing data associated with the event.
  • request nullable object Information on the API request that triggers the event.
  • type string Description of the event (for example, invoice.created or charge.refunded).

Retrieve an event

GET / v1 / events /:id

Retrieves the details of an event if it was created in the last 30 days. Supply the unique identifier of the event, which you might have received in a webhook.

Parameters

No parameters.

Returns

Returns an event object if a valid identifier was provided. All events share a common structure, detailed to the right. The only property that will differ is the data property.

In each case, the data dictionary will have an attribute called object and its value will be the same as retrieving the same object directly from the API. For example, a customer.created event will have the same information as retrieving the relevant customer would.

In cases where the attributes of an object have changed, data will also contain a dictionary containing the changes.

List all events

GET / v1 / events

List events, going back up to 30 days. Each event data is rendered according to Stripe API version at its creation time, specified in event object api_version attribute (not according to your current Stripe API version or Stripe-Version header).

Parameters

  • types array of strings An array of up to 20 strings containing specific event names. The list will be filtered to include only events with a matching event property. You may pass either type or types, but not both.

More parameters

  • created object
  • delivery _ success boolean
  • ending _ before string
  • limit integer
  • starting _ after string
  • type string

Returns

A dictionary with a data property that contains an array of up to limit events, starting after event starting_after. Each entry in the array is a separate event object. If no more events are available, the resulting array will be empty.
