Filter events by ActionDate in the Events API

AD18 — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 06:07:04 GMT

We are currently using the HubSpot Events API to retrieve events. When attempting to fetch events at the contact level, we need to make an API call for each contact. Given that we have millions of contacts, this approach is not feasible.

We have also tried retrieving events for a specific event type using the endpoint events/v3/events/?eventType='...'. However, this results in retrieving too many events at once, making it impractical to process them in a reasonable time frame.

We are looking for a solution to filter events by ActionDate, so we can fetch events from a specific day or within a specific timeframe. Is it possible to add such a filter? If not, are there any other solutions for our problem?
