Get audit events with filtering
In this code snippet you see how to get a list of audit events with filtering.
Parameters
You can filter the list of event objects returned by using query parameters. The parameters that can be specified are shown in the following table:
Query Parameter | Description |
---|---|
event_type |
The type of the audit event, for example: APP_CREATE , NUMBER_ASSIGN , and so on. You can specify a comma-delimited list of event types here. |
search_text |
JSON compatible search string. Look for specific text in an audit event. |
date_from |
Retrieve audit events from this date (in ISO-8601 format). |
date_to |
Retrieve audit events to this date (in ISO-8601 format). |
page |
Page number starting with page 1. |
size |
Number of elements per page (between 1 and 100, default 30). |
Example
You will need to ensure that the following replaceable values are set in the example code using any convenient method:
Key | Description |
---|---|
VONAGE_API_KEY |
Your Vonage API key (see it on your dashboard). |
VONAGE_API_SECRET |
Your Vonage API secret (also available on your dashboard). |
SEARCH_TEXT |
Some JSON compatible text to search for. For example, "number". |
DATE_FROM |
Audit events starting from this ISO-8601 datetime value. For example, "2018-07-01". |
DATE_TO |
Audit events up to this ISO-8601 datetime value. For example, "2018-08-01". |
In the following example the Create an application and Initialize your dependencies procedures are optional.
Prerequisites
A Vonage application contains the required configuration for your project. You can create an application using the Nexmo CLI (see below) or via the dashboard. To learn more about applications see our Vonage concepts guide.
Install the CLI
npm install -g nexmo-cli
Create an application
Once you have the CLI installed you can use it to create a Vonage application. Run the following command and make a note of the application ID that it returns. This is the value to use in NEXMO_APPLICATION_ID
in the example below. It will also create private.key
in the current directory which you will need in the Initialize your dependencies step
Vonage needs to connect to your local machine to access your answer_url
. We recommend using ngrok to do this. Make sure to change demo.ngrok.io
in the examples below to your own ngrok URL.
nexmo app:create "Get Events with filtering" http://demo.ngrok.io/webhooks/answer http://demo.ngrok.io/webhooks/events --keyfile private.key
Create a file named get-events-with-filtering.sh
and add the following code:
source "../config.sh"
Write the code
Add the following to get-events-with-filtering.sh
:
curl "https://api.nexmo.com/beta/audit/events?search_text=$SEARCH_TEXT&date_from=$DATE_FROM&date_to=$DATE_TO" \
-u "$VONAGE_API_KEY:$VONAGE_API_SECRET"
Run your code
Save this file to your machine and run it:
./get-events-with-filtering.sh
Try it out
Run the command in a shell. The call will retrieve a filtered list of audit events.
