# List an email's events

`GET /api/v1/email/{id}/events`

One sent email's delivery events, oldest first: sent, delivered, delayed, bounced, complained, opened, clicked, failed, suppressed, unsubscribed. Each carries its detail under the webhook's names (a bounce's `diagnostic_code`, a click's `link`), with the provider's wording redacted as in webhooks. Opens and clicks are recorded once per email per day (clicks once per link per day). Cursor-paginated with `emev_` ids. Requires the `emails:read` capability.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | path | string | yes | — |
| `limit` | query | integer | no | Max rows to return (default 20, max 100). |
| `after` | query | string | no | Return rows after this id (forward paging). |
| `before` | query | string | no | Return rows before this id (backward paging). |

## Response fields (200)

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `object` | string | yes | — |
| `id` | string | yes | — |
| `type` | string | yes | The event, as webhooks name it (`email.delivered`, `email.bounced`, ...). |
| `created_at` | string | yes | When it happened. |
| `data` | object | yes | The event's own detail, under the webhook's field names: `bounce` { type, sub_type, diagnostic_code[] }, `complaint` { feedback_type }, `open` { user_agent }, `click` { link, user_agent }, `failed` { reason }, `suppressed` { recipients[], reasons[] { email, reason }, full }, `unsubscribe` { scope, source }. Empty for the rest. |
