# Events

Events are generated by our system to notify about something that happened in your account. Events contain an event type like `payment.paid` or `customer.updated` and a payload with information about the object for which this event happened.

The event payload always contains the information about the resource at the moment the event was created. This means the information in the payload may be out-of-date. To avoid this you should retrieve the resource from the API again and use the information retrieved in the API request.

You can use these endpoints to retrieve events from your account. Our [webhook](/reference/webhooks) system uses these events when sending notifications to your server.

Refer to the [webhooks section](/reference/webhooks) for more information.
