Usage of /events GET

Discussion

Returns a stream of events that have occurred on the site.

The API considers the following "events":

  • posting a question
  • posting an answer
  • posting a comment
  • editing a post
  • creating a user

Events are only accessible for 15 minutes after they occurred, and by default only events in the last 5 minutes are returned. You can specify the age of the oldest event returned by setting the since parameter.

It is advised that developers batch events by ids and make as few subsequent requests to other methods as possible.

This method returns a list of events.
