Get events by event handle

This API uses the given account address, eventHandle, and fieldName to build a key that can globally identify an event types. It then uses this key to return events emitted to the given account matching that event type.

get

/accounts/{address}/events/{event_handle}//{field_name}

Path parameters

addressstring · hexrequired

A hex encoded 32 byte Aptos account address.

This is represented in a string as a 64 character hex string, sometimes shortened by stripping leading 0s, and adding a 0x.

For example, address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 is represented as 0x1.

Example: 0x88fbd33f54e1126269769780feb24480428179f552e2313fbe571b72e62a1ca1

event_handlestringrequired

String representation of a MoveStructTag (on-chain Move struct type). This exists so you can specify MoveStructTags as path / query parameters, e.g. for get_events_by_event_handle.

It is a combination of:

1. move_module_address, module_name and struct_name, all joined by ::
2. struct generic type parameters joined by ,

Examples:

• 0x1::coin::CoinStore<0x1::aptos_coin::AptosCoin>
• 0x1::account::Account

Note:

1. Empty chars should be ignored when comparing 2 struct tag ids.
2. When used in an URL path, should be encoded by url-encoding (AKA percent-encoding).

See doc for more details.

Example: 0x1::coin::CoinStore<0x1::aptos_coin::AptosCoin>

Pattern: ^0x[0-9a-zA-Z:_<>]+$

field_namestringrequired

Name of field to lookup event handle e.g. withdraw_events

Query parameters

startstring · uint64

A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer.

We represent u64 values as a string to ensure compatibility with languages such as JavaScript that do not parse u64s in JSON natively.

Example: 32425224034

limitinteger · uint16

Max number of events to retrieve.

If unspecified, defaults to default page size
