# List events

> GET /v1/events: Events of the last 30 days your scopes can read.

`GET /v1/events`

Events of the last 30 days your scopes can read. `events:read` or one of `leads:read`, `clients:read`, `projects:read` or `quotes:read` works: the feed holds only the event types those scopes can read (lead events need `leads:read`, quote events `quotes:read`, and so on). Polling integrations should use `sort=sync_asc`: store `next_cursor` and pass it back as `cursor`; every event appears exactly once (no gaps, even for slow transactions). A partner key without Light-AI-Organization lists events of every connected organization under one cursor, each with its `grant`.

|   |   |
| --- | --- |
| Scope | `events:read` |
| Credential | API key: `Authorization: Bearer lai_live_…` (or `lai_test_…`). Partner keys add `Light-AI-Organization`. |
| Test mode | Works with test keys against simulated test objects. |
