# Device Events

Returns device and stream lifecycle events (for example device boots, stream starts and stops, errors, config changes).

**Required scope:** `device:read`

### Example Request

```bash
curl "https://api.roboflow.com/{workspace}/devices/v2/{deviceId}/events?api_key=$ROBOFLOW_API_KEY&limit=50"
```

### Example Response

```json
{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "evt_abc123",
      "event": "device.boot",
      "entity_type": "device",
      "entity_id": "abc123",
      "event_description": "Device started up",
      "error_code": null,
      "metadata": { "source": "boot-loop" },
      "device_timestamp": "2026-04-28 10:00:00",
      "server_timestamp": "2026-04-28 10:00:01",
      "event_end_timestamp": null
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "next_cursor": "...",
    "prev_cursor": "...",
    "has_more": true,
    "limit": 50
  }
}
```

The `device_timestamp`, `server_timestamp`, and `event_end_timestamp` fields are formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS[.SSS]` in UTC. They are not normalized to ISO-8601 like other timestamps in this API.

`event_end_timestamp` may also be returned as the epoch-zero string `"1970-01-01 00:00:00.000"` (rather than `null`) when the event has no recorded end timestamp.
