Event Archiving API

Supports the capture of data from any collaboration platform or social media site into your Global Relay Archive

Take control of your unique compliance requirements by using the Event Archiving API to programmatically archive your social media, collaboration, and customer experience data. 

Flexible enough to support almost any event-based activity, you can be sure that your unique compliance needs are fully covered.

Key features

Integrate any platform

Our flexible API design ensures comprehensive support for all the platforms you already use which generate event-based data.

Archive all events

The Event Archiving API supports the capture of more than 40 different event types, including posts, replies, profile updates and other user activity.

Trust our expertise

As a central component of our Connector framework for 100+ data types, used by over 20,000 existing customers, Global Relay is fully invested in its reliability.

How it works

Enroll your application, including the data type you plan to archive, by contacting your Global Relay Implementation engineer

Store your credentials securely, which your application uses to obtain an API access token from our OAuth 2.0 endpoint

Submit data, via your application, to the Event Archiving API with the access token

Global Relay authenticates your request, validates and transforms your data, then stores it in Global Relay Archive

Archive users can discover and analyze event data in Global Relay Archive

Security & authentication

All your data is end-to-end encrypted in transit and at rest, and we use the OAuth 2.0 standard for authentication and authorization.

The Event Archiving API uses the Client Credentials OAuth 2.0 grant type, so your application must securely store credentials, which are exchanged for an access token you use to make a request to the API. Your Global Relay Implementation engineer will provide your credentials when you enroll a new application.
