Retrieve an event

Snapshot events allow you to track and react to activity in your Stripe integration. When the state of another API resource changes, Stripe creates an Event object that contains all the relevant information associated with that action, including the affected API resource. For example, a successful payment triggers a charge.succeeded event, which contains the Charge in the event's data property. Some actions trigger multiple events. For example, if you create a new subscription for a customer, it triggers both a customer.subscription.created event and a charge.succeeded event.

Configure an event destination in your account to listen for events that represent actions your integration needs to respond to. Additionally, you can retrieve an individual event or a list of events from the API.

Connect platforms can also receive event notifications that occur in their connected accounts. These events include an account attribute that identifies the relevant connected account.

You can access events through the Retrieve Event API for 30 days.
