# Overview

> The record of what happened on your account

An event is Natural's record that something happened on your account: each one names what occurred and carries a point-in-time snapshot of the resource it describes. Events are what [Webhooks](/guides/concepts/webhooks) deliver to your server; the endpoints below let you list and fetch the same events on demand.

## The event object

The API returns events as standard resources. The `eventType` attribute names what happened, and the resource snapshot lives at `payload.object`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "type": "event",
    "id": "evt_019cd3444a7a70efaf554fd8450d221a",
    "attributes": {
      "eventType": "wallet.created",
      "resourceId": "wal_019cd3444a7a70efaf554fd8450d334b",
      "resourceType": "wallet",
      "payload": {
        "object": {
          "partyId": "pty_019cd34e27bf78399b4e75b327d2ab25",
          "walletType": "standard",
          "status": "active",
          "displayName": "My Wallet",
          "currency": "usd"
        }
      },
      "createdAt": "2026-01-15T14:30:00Z"
    },
    "relationships": {
      "party": {
        "data": { "type": "party", "id": "pty_019cd34e27bf78399b4e75b327d2ab25" }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Webhook deliveries carry the same event in a flat body: there, `type` names the event and the snapshot lives at `data.object`. See [Webhooks](/guides/concepts/webhooks) for the delivery format, signature verification, and retries.

The [Event catalog](/api-reference/event-catalog) documents every event type and the full snapshot payload it carries.
