Foundrybot API wrapper

---
title: "Types of events"
excerpt: ""
---
Events are how Foundrybot tracks changes in data your account. When a change in your organization's data occur, we create an `Event` object and store it for reference. For example, if you previously created a crawl through our API, we will create a `snapshot.created` event for every snapshot that is created in that crawl.

Events are like any other API resource and can be accessed programmatically. You can get an [individual event](https://foundrybot.readme.io/v1.0/reference#get-an-event) or [search your events](https://foundrybot.readme.io/v1.0/reference#search-events) using our API. Additionally, you can configure a webhook notification via your [webhook settings](https://foundrybot.readme.io/v1.0/reference#org-webhook-setting-object).
