Events

When an update happens in your Shipwell supply chain account, both through the Shipwell UI and API, Shipwell, it creates a new Event. Create a new shipment request, and then that request becomes a shipment_request.create in Shipwell's events database.

Any semantic event that occurs in the Shipwell system creates an event object, triggered most commonly by a change of a resource or subresource. Because they are the most common event updates, they are all appended with a common schema:

• Object creation: .created
• Object updated: .updated
• Object deleted: .deleted

All other event types (i.e. shipment.dispatched) contain event-specific details. For a list of these details, see Types of Events.

As with other API resources, you can use endpoints to retrieve an individual event or a list of events from the API.

Data contained in event objects can also be sent as a payload to your applications with webhooks guide.

Data Retention

Access to events through the Retrieve Event API is guaranteed for 60 days. Older events may be available, but this is not guaranteed.
