This API provides advanced search functionality for behavioural events, allowing you to filter, sort, and paginate through events.
Attention
The API retrieves event details from January 2024 onwards and does not fetch details of events that occurred before this date.
Features
-
Filters:
- Filter events based on various criteria:
- Date range
- Event name.
- Events of a customer or groups. You can combine this with other search criteria. For example, events of a customer in a particular date range.
- Events performed by a particular member in a user group event
- Event ID. The event ID is an internally generated ID during the creation of the event.
- Behavioural event attributes.
- Duplicate events.
- Filter events based on various criteria:
-
Sorting:Sort events based on event date-time in ascending or descending order.
-
Pagination: Limit the number of page results and setting offset (number of pages to skip from the beginning)
-
This API provides more flexibility and search options than the GET Customer event API.
Use cases
-
You can use different combinations to search for events. For example, suppose you want to find an event named "Offerscan" performed by a particular user. In that case, you can filter the event search using the eventName parameter and by providing the identifier type and value of the customer.
-
Similarly, to retrieve details of a particular event between certain dates, you can define
fromDate,tillDate,eventNameand filter the events.

Searching for an event using behavioural event attribute - For example, as a hotel chain brand, if you want to search for reservation events of a particular hotel, you can search by defining the attribute name and value. If the behavioural event attribute name is
hotel_nameand the hotel name isPalaceABC, you can search using the attribute namehotel_nameand the valuePalaceABC.
