# Retrieve a revenue event

This REST API reference describes how to get revenue event details by specifying the revenue event number. Request and response field descriptions and sample code are provided.

Endpoint: GET /v1/revenue-events/{event-number}
Version: 2026-09-11

## Path parameters:

  - `event-number` (string, required)
    The number associated with the revenue event.

## Header parameters:

  - `Accept-Encoding` (string)
    Include the `Accept-Encoding: gzip` header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response. 

If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a `Content-Encoding` header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it.

  - `Content-Encoding` (string)
    Include the `Content-Encoding: gzip` header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload.

  - `Authorization` (string)
    The value is in the `Bearer {token}` format where {token} is a valid OAuth token generated by calling [Create an OAuth token](https://developer.zuora.com/api-references/api/operation/createToken).

  - `Zuora-Track-Id` (string)
    A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue.

The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (`:`), semicolon (`;`), double quote (`"`), and quote (`'`).

  - `Zuora-Entity-Ids` (string)
    An entity ID. If you have [Zuora Multi-entity](https://docs.zuora.com?resourceId=platform-multi-entity-overview) enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you do not need to set this header.

## Response 200 fields (application/json):

    Name of the accounting period. The open-ended accounting period is named `Open-Ended`.

  - `revenueItems.accountingPeriodStartDate` (string)
    The accounting period start date.

  - `revenueItems.amount` (string)
    The revenue schedule amount, which is the sum of all revenue items. This field cannot be null and must be formatted based on the currency, such as *JPY 30* or *USD 30.15*. Test out the currency to ensure you are using the proper formatting otherwise, the response will fail and this error message is returned:  `Allocation amount with wrong decimal places.`
