Events and notifications older than 90 days will no longer be available
The Paddle API will no longer return notifications or events older than 90 days.
What's new?
We're updating the Paddle platform so that events and notifications older than 90 days are no longer returned via the relevant endpoints.
This change is scheduled to be released on October 21, 2024.
How it works
When something notable happens in your Paddle account, Paddle creates an event entity that describes the change. If you want, you can subscribe notifications by email or webhooks when an event occurs. Paddle creates a notification entity to describe the attempt to deliver a webhook or email for each event.
You can query the /events and /notifications endpoints to work with events and notifications. Right now, events and notifications are retained indefinitely.
With this change, we're updating the Paddle platform so that notifications and events older than 90 days are no longer available. The Paddle API will now only return event or notification entities with a created_at date within the last 90 days.
If you try to work with an event or notification that's no longer retained, Paddle will return a not_found error.
Summary of impacted operations
This is a summary of impacted operations in the Paddle API:
| Operation | Notes |
|---|---|
| List events | Only events where the created_at ≤ 90 days ago are returned. |
| List notifications | Only notifications where the created_at ≤ 90 days ago are returned. |
| Get a notification | You can only get notifications where the created_at ≤ 90 days ago; 404 otherwise. |
| Replay a notification | You can only replay notifications where the created_at ≤ 90 days ago; 404 otherwise. |
| List logs for a notification | You can only list logs for notifications where the created_at ≤ 90 days ago; 404 otherwise. |
Next steps
This change is scheduled to be released on October 21, 2024 in version 1 of the Paddle API.
There are no changes to endpoints or fields in the API as a result of this change — it's an update to the Paddle platform and how data is retained.
You will not need to make any changes to your integration for this change. Notifications are still sent as normal.
