Query Parameters
  • The activity type to filter results. Possible values include: EmailOpen, EmailClickthrough, EmailSend, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Bounceback, WebVisit, PageView, and FormSubmit. Refer to Activity Fields for a list of activity fields for each activity type.
  • A URL parameter that specifies the maximum number of records to return. This can be any positive integer between 1 and 1000 inclusive. If not specified, the default is 1000. Example: ?limit=5.
  • The links section in a resource return all the links by default. The client side might be only interested in a particular link. To satisfy that requirement, a "links" query parameter might be supported. The value of this query parameter is a list of relations separated by comma ",". For example, ?links=canonical, next will only return the links with "rel" property be canonical or next.
  • Specifies an offset that allows you to retrieve the next batch of records. Any positive integer. For example, if your limit is 1000, specifying an offset of 1000 will return records 1000 through 2000. If not specified, the default is 0. Example: ?offset=1000.
  • Specifies the name of the property to order the results by. The orderBy format is term ASC | DESC. Example: ?orderBy=name ASC.
  • A URL parameter that specifies query criteria used to filter results. The q format is termoperatorvalue. Use "*" for wildcard values. Example: ?q="name=*Test*" will find all the entities where the "name" field contains the string "Test".
  • Whether or not the total results are shown, and factored into the hasMore property in the response. When set to false, the totalResults property will not be returned, and the hasMore property will be determined based on returned events that match the criteria specified in the URL parameters. If not specified, the default is true.
