Formal Definition (as a OperationDefinition).

URL: [base]/Subscription/[id]/$events

This is an idempotent operation

In Parameters:

The starting event number, inclusive of this event (lower bound).

eventsUntilNumber0..1integer64

The ending event number, inclusive of this event (upper bound).

content0..1code

Requested content style of returned data. Codes from backport-content-value-set (e.g., empty, id-only, full-resource). This is a hint to the server what a client would prefer, and MAY be ignored.

Out Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
return1..1Bundle

The operation returns a valid notification bundle, with the first entry being a SubscriptionStatus resource. The bundle type is "subscription-notification".

Note: as this is the only out parameter, it is a resource, and it has the name 'return', the result of this operation is returned directly as a resource
