Search events

This endpoint returns a filtered set of events for an account in a paginated list format.

Note that this is a POST endpoint rather than a GET endpoint because it employs a JSON body for search criteria rather than query parameters, allowing for a more flexible search syntax.

Note that a search criteria must be specified. Currently, Orb supports the following criteria:

• event_ids: This is an explicit array of IDs to filter by. Note that an event's ID is the idempotency_key that was originally used for ingestion.

By default, Orb will not throw a 404 if no events matched, Orb will return an empty array for data instead.

Request Body

event_ids string[] required

Possible values: >= 1, <= 500

This is an explicit array of IDs to filter by. Note that an event's ID is the idempotency_key that was originally used for ingestion, and this only supports events that have not been amended. Values in this array will be treated case sensitively.

timeframe_start date-time nullable

The start of the timeframe, inclusive, in which to search events. If not specified, the one week ago is used.

timeframe_end date-time nullable

The end of the timeframe, exclusive, in which to search events. If not specified, the current time is used.

The Orb Customer identifier
external_customer_id string nullable required
An alias for the Orb customer, whose mapping is specified when creating the customer
event_name string required

properties object required
A dictionary of custom properties. Values in this dictionary must be numeric, boolean, or strings. Nested dictionaries are disallowed.
