Get Event by ID

For details about each element in the Event resource and a list of event type IDs, see Event Resource and Types.

Resource URL

https://<subdomain>/api/1/events/:id

Header Parameter

Authorization

required

string

Set to bearer:<access_token>.

Set <access_token> to the access token you generated using the Generate Token API.

The access token must have been generated using an API credential pair created using the scope required to call this API. This API can be called using any one of the following scopes: Read Users, Manage users, Read All, or Manage All.

Resource Parameter

id

required

string

Set to the id of the event that you want to return. If you don’t know the event’s id, use the Get Events API call to return all events and their id values.

Sample Response

Important: The user_name and actor_user_name elements displayed in the response refer to the first and last name of the relevant user, not to their username in OneLogin. If their first and last name user attributes are empty, your results will instead return the user’s email address.
