Basic Parameters​

ParameterDescription
Application NameApplication name for which the events are to be retrieved.For more information about the Application Name, see the activity parameters reference guide.
End TimeSets the end of the range of time shown in the report. The date is in the RFC 3339 format, for example 2010-10-28T10:26:35.000Z. The default value is the approximate time of the API request. An API report has three basic time concepts:Date of the API's request for a report: When the API created and retrieved the report.Report's start time: The beginning of the timespan shown in the report. The startTime must be before the endTime (if specified) and the current time when the request is made, or the API returns an error.Report's end time: The end of the timespan shown in the report. For example, the timespan of events summarized in a report can start in April and end in May. The report itself can be requested in August.If the endTime is not specified, the report returns all activities from the startTime until the current time or the most recent 180 days if the startTime is more than 180 days in the past.
Event NameThe name of the event being queried by the API. Each eventName is related to a specific Google Workspace service or feature which the API organizes into types of events.For more information about eventName query strings and parameters, see the ApplicationName documentation.
FiltersThe filters query string is a comma-separated list composed of event parameters manipulated by relational operators.Event parameters are in the form {parameter1 name}{relational operator}{parameter1 value},{parameter2 name}{relational operator}{parameter2 value},...These event parameters are associated with a specific eventName.An empty report is returned if the request's parameter doesn't belong to the eventName.For more information about the available eventName fields for each application and their associated parameters, go to the ApplicationName table, then click through to the Activity Events page in the Appendix for the application you want.
Start TimeSets the beginning of the range of time shown in the report. The date is in the RFC 3339 format, for example 2010-10-28T10:26:35.000Z.The report returns all activities from startTime until endTime. The startTime must be before the endTime (if specified) and the current time when the request is made, or the API returns an error.

The default value is 1000.
