**Endpoint count:** 4

### List event history

<Note>
  `GET /api/v1/events/`
</Note>

Cursor-paginated history of recent platform events for the authenticated tenant. Returns the standard paginated envelope; pass `cursor` from a prior page's `meta.pagination.cursor` (an event `id`) to page forward. For a live tail use `GET /events/stream` (SSE) instead of polling.

<ParamField query="cursor" type="string">
  Opaque pagination cursor from a prior page's `meta.pagination.cursor` (an event `id`). Omit for the first page.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="limit" type="integer">
  Page size (1–200, default 25).
</ParamField>

### Get event details

<Note>
  `GET /api/v1/events/{id}`
</Note>

Fetch a single platform event by its `id` from the tenant's recent-event history. The `id` may be either the canonical stream id (`&lt;ms&gt;-&lt;seq&gt;`) or a publisher-minted `evt_*` id carried in the payload. Returns 404 when no event with the given id is within the current history window for the tenant.

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  Event id — the canonical stream id (`&lt;ms&gt;-&lt;seq&gt;`) or a legacy `evt_*` payload id.
</ParamField>

<RequestExample>
  <CodeGroup>
    ```bash cURL theme={null}
    curl -X GET "https://api.orbit.devotel.io/api/v1/events/{id}" \

    ```

    ```typescript Node.js theme={null}
    import { Orbit } from '@devotel-orbit/node'

    const orbit = new Orbit({
      apiKey: process.env.ORBIT_API_KEY!,
    })

    const res = await fetch('https://api.orbit.devotel.io/api/v1/events/{id}', {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': process.env.ORBIT_API_KEY!,
      },
    })
    console.log(await res.json())


    ```

    ```python Python theme={null}
    import os, requests

    headers = {"X-API-Key": os.environ["ORBIT_API_KEY"]}
    r = requests.get("https://api.orbit.devotel.io/api/v1/events/{id}", headers=headers)
    print(r.json())
    ```

    ```go Go theme={null}

    	req.Header.Set("X-API-Key", os.Getenv("ORBIT_API_KEY"))

    	http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
    }
    ```

    ```ruby Ruby theme={null}

    req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
    req['X-API-Key'] = ENV['ORBIT_API_KEY']


    res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: true) { |h| h.request(req) }

### Subscribe to the real-time platform event stream (SSE)

<Note>
  `GET /api/v1/events/stream`
</Note>

Server-Sent Events stream of platform events for the tenant (message, call, and other resource lifecycle events) so live dashboards can be built without polling GET /events or running a webhook receiver. Authenticate a browser EventSource with the Clerk session cookie (withCredentials) or `?token=`; server-side callers pass the secret API key. Optional `?types=` narrows the event types delivered; reconnect with the Last-Event-ID header (or `?lastEventId=`) to replay buffered events and resume without gaps.

<ParamField query="types" type="string">
  Comma-separated allowlist of event types to deliver (e.g. `message.delivered,message.failed`). Applied to both the Last-Event-ID replay pass and the live tail. Omit to receive all event types for the tenant.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="lastEventId" type="string">
  Resume cursor — the `id` of the last event the client received. Replays buffered events newer than this id before live streaming.
</ParamField>

<RequestExample>
  <CodeGroup>
    ```bash cURL theme={null}
    curl -X GET "https://api.orbit.devotel.io/api/v1/events/stream" \

### Track a product event

<Note>
  `POST /api/v1/events/track/`
</Note>

Records a domain event for a contact in your workspace, such as `Order Placed`, `Subscription Renewed`, or `Trial Converted`, to drive lifecycle campaigns, journey triggers, and the customer-360 timeline. Authenticate with your secret API key via the `X-API-Key` header. The JSON body requires `event` (the event name) and may identify the contact with `contact_email` or `contact_phone`; events with no matching contact are still recorded and can be stitched to a contact later. Optionally pass `properties` (an object of event attributes), `message_id` (a client-supplied de-duplication key), and `timestamp` (an ISO-8601 client event time, while the server receipt time stays the canonical sort key). Send an `Idempotency-Key` header to make retries safe. Returns `{ received, event_id, contact_id, deduped }`.

<RequestExample>
  <CodeGroup>
    ```bash cURL theme={null}
    curl -X POST "https://api.orbit.devotel.io/api/v1/events/track/" \
