Details
List available event types. Call this BEFORE adding an event-driven condition or creating a new event type, so you reuse what already exists.
Returns two groups:
system_event_types— curated feeds maintained by Quawd (CPI, FOMC, NFP, earnings windows, etc.). Reference these directly in conditions; do NOT callcreate_event_typefor them.custom_event_types— types you (or this user) defined viacreate_event_type. Reference by id once data has been ingested.
Every item carries an explicit kind ("system" or "custom") so the distinction survives even if the response is flattened. The response also includes a summary count and a guidance reminder.

FieldTypeDescription
categoryanyOf (2 variants)Filter the bare-call catalog to one system taxonomy family: corporate, earnings, news, macro, energy, social, or custom. An unrecognized value returns an empty catalog, never the full list. Mutually exclusive with `ids`. This is the escape hatch once the catalog outgrows ~45 system types: results are NOT paginated, and an oversized response gets structurally truncated to 20 items per list (dropping the alphabetical tail) instead of erroring — narrow with `category` rather than assuming a bare call always returns everything.idsanyOf (2 variants)Full-detail lookup for specific event type ids (system or custom, mix freely) — returns name, description, payload_schema, symbol coverage, and occurrence timestamps for exactly these ids, in the order given. Max 10 ids per call (that much full detail is exactly the payload the bare call avoids). Unknown ids are reported in `not_found`, never silently dropped. Mutually exclusive with `category`.
