# Stream public events using SSE

> Opens a long-lived Server-Sent Events connection and emits the same structured CloudEvents returned by the pull endpoint.

With no cursor, the connection starts at the current tenant-stream tail and emits only events that occur after the subscription is established. Each SSE frame uses the CloudEvent `sequence` as `id`, its `type` as `event`, and the complete CloudEvent JSON as `data`.

Reconnect with `Last-Event-ID` to resume strictly after the last successfully processed event. The `after` query parameter is available when an explicit historical position is needed for the initial connection. When both are supplied, `Last-Event-ID` takes precedence.

Comment-only heartbeats keep the connection and gateway activity window alive. Consumers must ignore comment frames and persist the last successfully processed event id.



## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.1
info:
  title: Occtoo Events API
  description: >-
    Occtoo Events API exposes customer-safe CloudEvents derived from changes
    across an Occtoo tenant. Use pull for scheduled or batch processing and SSE
    for low-latency delivery. Both transports read the same ordered, 90-day
    retained event projection.


    ## Quick start


    1. Select **Authorize** and sign in with the existing Occtoo identity, or
    provide a bearer token or organization API key.

    2. Inspect the [event catalog](https://api.occtoo.com/v1/event-types) to
    select event types and entity-level filters.

    3. Pull the first page, process it, and persist its `after` cursor.


    ```bash

    curl --get 'https://api.occtoo.com/v1/events' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access-token>' \
      --data-urlencode 'limit=100' \
      --data-urlencode 'filter=type eq "source.updated" and sourceId eq "products"'
    ```


    To check whether that consumer has reached the latest event matching the
    same filter, read stream metadata and compare `latest.sequence` with the
    last processed CloudEvent sequence. Sequence gaps identify position, not an
    exact number of pending matching events.


    ```bash

    curl --get 'https://api.occtoo.com/v1/events/metadata' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access-token>' \
      --data-urlencode 'filter=type eq "source.updated" and sourceId eq "products"'
    ```


    ## Authentication and tenancy


    Event reads require a tenant-scoped credential. All delivery endpoints
    accept the established `read-events` permission. Tenant applications can
    instead use `events:pull` for pull and metadata or `events:sse` for SSE.
    Interactive user calls use Authorization Code with PKCE and can reuse the
    existing Occtoo sign-in session. Machine consumers can send a tenant-scoped
    Kinde application token as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` or an Occtoo
    organization API key as `x-api-key: <organization-api-key>`. The gateway
    validates the credential, projects application scopes directly as
    permissions, and supplies its tenant and actor identity to the Events API;
    the tenant cannot be selected with a query parameter.


    Native browser `EventSource` cannot attach either authorization header.
    Browser applications should consume SSE with streaming `fetch` or relay it
    through an authenticated backend; server-side SSE clients can set either
    header directly.


    ## Delivery and checkpoints


    Events are ordered by the fixed-width `sequence` extension rather than their
    timestamp. A new SSE connection without a cursor starts live at the current
    tenant-stream tail; it does not replay retained history. Pull normally
    transports a position as an opaque `after` cursor, but accepts the raw
    sequence as a recovery checkpoint when the cursor was not retained. SSE
    transports the raw sequence as `Last-Event-ID`. Resuming is exclusive: the
    event at the supplied position is not delivered again. Public event ids are
    deterministic UUIDv5 values, so replaying the same internal event recreates
    the same id. Consumers should nevertheless make business processing
    idempotent and checkpoint only after successful processing.


    ### Recover from a recorded sequence


    If the returned pull cursor was lost but the last successfully processed
    CloudEvent `sequence` was retained, pass that sequence directly as `after`.
    Continue using the same filter as the original subscription.


    ```bash

    curl --get 'https://api.occtoo.com/v1/events' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access-token>' \
      --data-urlencode 'after=003.00000000000000184467' \
      --data-urlencode 'filter=type eq "source.updated" and sourceId eq "products"'
    ```


    To resume SSE from the same processed position, send `Last-Event-ID:
    003.00000000000000184467`. The first event returned has a greater sequence.


    ## Filtering


    `filter` implements a bounded RFC 7644-derived subset: `eq`, `and`, `or`,
    parentheses and JSON double-quoted strings. `and` binds more tightly than
    `or`. Use parentheses when combining event families. Only `type` and the
    entity-level properties advertised by the catalog are accepted;
    entry/card-level filters are intentionally unavailable.


    ## Schema compatibility


    The CloudEvent `type` is stable and unversioned. Read the exact payload
    version from `dataschema`. A new minor version is additive: ignore unknown
    fields and fetch the new immutable schema asynchronously. Do not deserialize
    a new major version as an earlier major; retain or quarantine the raw event
    until the consumer is upgraded.
