LookupEvents - ActionTrail - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Queries historical events.

When you call this operation to query historical events, you can query the events at most twice per second.

Note: Do not frequently call this operation. You can create a trail to deliver events to Log Service. Then, you can query historical events in near real time by using the real-time log consumption feature of Log Service.

For more information, see Create a single-account trail, Create a multi-account trail, and Real-time subscription and consumption.

Note The LookupEvents operation in the ActionTrail API of version 2017-12-04 will no longer be available. We recommend that you use the LookupEvents operation in the ActionTrail API of version 2020-07-06. For more information, see LookupEvents.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
