Dropbox Business team events get a rebuilt v2 API
Developers building for Dropbox Business can now use the team events API to power workflow and analytic applications. The new v2 API, team_log/get_events, was rebuilt from the ground up and exposes more than 300 team events.
Dropbox Business keeps an activity log recording key actions taken across a team. Admins can review that log in the Admin Console to audit and monitor activity. The API backing that log is what got the v2 treatment, bringing a richer schema and new attributes that make it easier to work with each event type. Detailed per-event documentation is also included.
What developers can build
The team events API supports several categories of applications:
- Real-time workflow apps that poll the endpoint looking for triggers that will start actions.
- Security information and event management (SIEM) tools that watch for anomalies or policy violations and issue alerts.
- Business Intelligence software that aggregates events to surface patterns in how a team collaborates.
Migrating from v1
Apps built against the v1 endpoint /team/log/get_events can be moved over using Dropbox's migration guide. You can also reach out to the developer community to talk through what you're trying to build in the developer forum.
