Important. This endpoint is designed for testing and troubleshooting; it's not designed as an alternate way to monitor and download webhook events. That's the job of your listener endpoint.
Endpoint URL: {identityDomain}/{customerId}/webhooks/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/events/{eventId}/history
Enables you to return the delivery history for a specific event. The delivery history reports each delivery attempt, when that attempt was made, whether or not that attempt succeeded, and, in the case of delivery failures, why that attempt did not succeed.
This endpoint supports the following methods:
- GET
GET
Description
Returns the event history for the specified webhooks event. From the time an event occurs to the time a notification of that event is successfully delivered to the listener endpoint, the event passes through several states. These states, which are recorded in a relational database table and can be retrieved by using the /{eventId}/history endpoint, are listed in the following table:
Event State | Description |
awaiting-executing | The event is ready for delivery. When the delivery process actually begins, the event state changes to executing. |
executing | The event is being delivered. By design, events are not delivered if a webhook subscription is disabled. So what happens if an event is marked as executing(but hasn’t been delivered yet) at the very moment that a subscription is disabled? In that case, the process continues and the event will be delivered (and marked as success). However, if delivery fails the process ends: delivery will not be retried if the subscription has been disabled. |
success | The event was successfully delivered to the listener endpoint. |
failure | The event could not be delivered. With one exception, events are not marked as failure until they have reached the number of allowed retries (see the retry parameter for more information). The one exception? Delivery attempts that result in an HTTPS status code of 1xx or 3xx are automatically marked as failures and are not retried. Note that failure events are not immediately discarded; instead, all events (including failure events) are maintained in the Identity Cloud event store for 7 days. |
retry | The event could not be delivered and has been scheduled for another delivery try. The delivery schedule for event notifications works like this:
If the sixth delivery attempt fails the event is marked as failure and no further delivery attempts are scheduled. |
At a minimum, each event passes through the following three states:
- awaiting-executing
- executing
- success

Request Parameters
No additional parameters are required to call this endpoint.
Authentication
This endpoint requires token-based authentication. To obtain an access token, you must use a confidential client (using the client ID as the username and the client secret as the password) to access the /{customerId}/login/token endpoint. The access token returned from that endpoint is then used in the Authorization header of your API call. For example, if you get back the access token 03v-eeodppPrrHXXIx56pRLyDBaOldDxqEwI59MFCFGVuSkLRapzgmfwmEHyKWle then your Authorization header will look like this when using Curl:
In Postman, set the Authorization Type to Bearer and use the access token as the value of the Token field.
Sample Request (curl)
