OT4: How to use the API to download events per session
In this article we will show you how to get events per session with Opentracker API
Your main goal is to upload each event for a user to an backend/ database. You can pull the sessions information or visits but those reports won't display each event within those sessions.
If this is important, for instance to backtrack which ads they've seen on the website, then this article explains more.

endDate=yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format end date for the period
timezone=timezone specified in terms of offset from UTC, if you want timezone to be CET, this field's value should be +01:00
typeName=event (because we want only events)
termFilters=use_id:<actual_use_id_here>:event <-- here just replace <actual_use_id> with the use_id for which we need the events
ascending=false (ascending = false will give the events in descending order, i.e. most recent event will be returned first
