# Audit Events API
## Instance Audit Events **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
The Audit Events API allows you to retrieve [instance audit events](../administration/audit_events.md#instance-events).
To retrieve audit events using the API, you must [authenticate yourself](README.md#authentication) as an Administrator.
### Retrieve all instance audit events
```plaintext
GET /audit_events
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `created_after` | string | no | Return audit events created on or after the given time. Format: ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ |
| `created_before` | string | no | Return audit events created on or before the given time. Format: ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ |
| `entity_type` | string | no | Return audit events for the given entity type. Valid values are: `User`, `Group`, or `Project`. |
| `entity_id` | integer | no | Return audit events for the given entity ID. Requires `entity_type` attribute to be present. |
By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.
