​
Overview

This API enables you to retrieve all Subscriptions that received a specific push notification or email. You can access the notification’s history for up to seven days after it was sent. Please note that notifications sent to fewer than 1,000 recipients will not record a “received” event, but they will still record “sent” events.

​
How to Use this API

  1. Submit a request to generate a report.
  2. Decide delivery method
    • After receiving a successful response, poll the destination URL until the file becomes available. Exports typically complete within 1-3 minutes; we recommend a 10-second polling interval.
    • Alternatively, you can opt to receive an email to the address specified in the optional email parameter when the report is ready.

​
Requirements

  • A OneSignal Professional or Enterprise Plan.
  • Enabled the “Send History via OneSignal API” option in Settings -> Integrations; notifications sent before this setting is enabled can’t be retrieved.
  • Requests must be made within seven days of sending the notification.

​
Polling

Use the csv_file_url property in the response to test if the report is complete. If you receive a ‘403’ error response, retry fetching the file after a short period; it only means we’re still generating the report.

​
Sample Report

The generated report is a simple CSV file that can be imported into any system for further processing.
