Current Types of Events

Current events are linked to creation, registration, completion, and update of a subset of objects within Benchling. If you have additional Events that would be highly impactful, please reach out to Benchling support to let us know!

Event Payload

All events have a standard JSON payload with the following structure:

{
  "version": "0", # Unused
  "id": "XXXX-XXXX-...", # Unique AWS ID 
  "detail-type": "v2.request.created", # <version>.<resource_type>.<action>
  "source": "aws.partner...", # Event Subscription Name
  "account": 123123123123, # AWS Destination Account ID
  "time": "2015-06-14T22:26:59.673559+00:00", # Isoformat UTC when the event is created
  "region": "us-west-1", # AWS region
  "resources": [], # Unused
  "detail": {
  	"createdAt": "2015-06-14T22:26:59.673559+00:00", # Isoformat UTC when the event is created, same as "time" above
    "deprecated": false, # True if an event has been deprecated. It is best practice to alert on this to know when to migrate. 
    "entry": {...}, # This will vary, depending on resource type
 	  "eventType": "v2.request.created", # <version>.<resource_type>.<action>, same as "detail-type" above
	  "excludedProperties": ["dropped_key1","dropped_key2"] # Empty unless properties were excluded for being too large
    "id": "evt_XXX...", # Unique Benchling Event ID
    "schema": {
      "name": "...", # Name of the schema event is related to
      "id": "..." # id of the schema event is related to
    } 
    "updates": ["fields.cool"] # Fields that changed. Only present on update events
  },
}

In the above, the "entry": {...} field will vary based on the resource that's being sent. See the "Resource Name" column in the Events Reference section for the field name for each event and the "API Get Endpoint Link" column for a link to the API reference documentation that outlines the content.

🚧

Outdated Event Payloads

Data in the event payload should not be treated as up-to-date. Events can be delivered late or out-of-order, so it’s best practice to look up the corresponding objects with the Benchling API if you need the latest information.

Oversized Events

Due to the fact that events on EventBridge have a maximum size of 256kb, some fields will be dropped when the event is oversized. The properties that were dropped are included in the excludedProperties field.

If one of those fields is critical for you to retrieve, the resource object (entry: {...} in the above example) has a apiURL field that contains the URL to retrieve the full resource from the API.

Event Subscription

To subscribe to any of the following events, you'll need to follow the instruction in the Getting Started Guide and add that event type from the dropdown.

V2 Beta Events Reference

🚧

Using Beta Events

Events under v2-beta are subject to more frequent breaking changes. We will notify developers prior to making breaking changes, but we recommend setting up monitoring to account for them if you are using them in production. Overall, we generally recommend only using v2.* events in production whenever possible.

See our Stability documentation for more information on Beta and what it means!

Beta events are not listed by default. Please contact Benchling support to access these events.

V2 Alpha Events Reference

❗️

Using Alpha Events

Events under v2-alpha are in active development and can change or be removed entirely without notice. They should only be used for testing purposes and we encourage those that do use them to reach out with feedback!

See our Stability documentation for more information on Alpha and what it means!

Alpha events are not listed by default. Please contact Benchling support to access these events.
