Events

Any important billing activity that happens within your Invoiced account creates an event. Our event system can be used to track changes to important objects in your account, like invoices and customers.

Events are also the basis of our webhooks feature. Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that notify your systems as events are produced. Please see the Webhooks Guide to learn more about webhooks.

Retrieve an event

curl "https://api.invoiced.com/events/:id" \
  -u {API_KEY}:
event = invoiced.Event.retrieve("{EVENT_ID}")
<?php

$event = $invoiced->Event->retrieve("{EVENT_ID}");
event = client.Event.retrieve("{EVENT_ID}")
Event event = invoiced.newEvent().retrieve({EVENT_ID});
var event = invoiced.NewEvent().Retrieve({EVENT_ID});
event, err := client.Event.Retrieve({EVENT_ID})

The above command returns JSON structured like this:
