events followed by api request

hey, when I post download or get_preview request I get the content that I asked for, but I can't get event back. Is there anything to do about it?

I'm not sure I understand your question. What "event" exactly are you looking for from these API calls?

    I'm looking to get download file event for example as response when I use log\get_events after the request

      I see, thanks for clarifying. The /1/team/log/get_events endpoint doesn't return events for API calls like this. From the documentation, these events are only reported for the web app:

       

      files    download_files        Download files from the webapp
files    preview_files        Preview files from the webapp

        thanks for the clarification. What about edit file or restore file?
        Any time I edit file I recieve add_file and for restore file I get revert to previous revision. Any idea what to do?
