+# Audit Events API **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
+
+The Audit Events API allows you to retrieve [instance audit events](../administration/audit_events.md#instance-events-premium-only).
+
+To retrieve audit events using the API, you must [authenticate yourself](README.html#authentication) as an Administrator.
+
+## Retrieve all instance audit events
+
+```
+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` | boolean | 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.
