Documentation

The lifecycle API provides RESTful endpoints to request the latest sandbox lifecycle events. This allows you to track when sandboxes are created, paused, resumed, updated, snapshotted, or killed, along with metadata. All requests require authentication using your team API key. Query Parameters:

offset (optional): Number of events to skip (default: 0, min: 0)
limit (optional): Number of events to return (default: 10, min: 1, max: 100)
orderAsc (optional): Sort order - true for ascending, false for descending (default: false)
types (optional): Filter by event type. Can be specified multiple times to match any of the given types.
