Overview

Events are our way of letting you know when something interesting happens in your account. When an interesting event occurs, we create a new ‘Event` object. For example, when a charge succeeds, we create a `charge.succeeded` event, and when an invoice payment attempt fails, we create an `invoice.payment_failed` event. Certain API requests might create multiple events. For example, if you create a new subscription for a customer, you receive both a `customer.subscription.created` event and a `charge.succeeded` event.

Events occur when the state of another API resource changes. The event’s data field embeds the resource’s state at the time of the change. For example, a ‘charge.succeeded` event contains a charge, and an `invoice.payment_failed` event contains an invoice.

As with other API resources, you can use endpoints to retrieve an [individual event](stripe.com/docs/api#retrieve_event) or a [list of events](stripe.com/docs/api#list_events) from the API. We also have a separate [webhooks](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook) system for sending the ‘Event` objects directly to an endpoint on your server. You can manage webhooks in your [account settings](dashboard.stripe.com/account/webhooks). Learn how to [listen for events](docs.stripe.com/webhooks) so that your integration can automatically trigger reactions.

When using [Connect](docs.stripe.com/connect), you can also receive event notifications that occur in connected accounts. For these events, there’s an additional ‘account` attribute in the received `Event` object.

We only guarantee access to events through the [Retrieve Event API](stripe.com/docs/api#retrieve_event) for 30 days.

.list(params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

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](docs.stripe.com/api/events/object) api_version attribute (not according to your current Stripe API version or Stripe-Version header).
