Matthew Harshbarger (State of Iowa) asked a question.
Event Hook Alternative for event type policy.mapping.create
I'm considering using Events API or System Log API to pull "policy.mapping.create" events. I see in the documentation that System Log API says it is "more structured data than the Events API". Are there any other differences I should know about when considering which API to use for my use case? I'm thinking about polling the logs every 15 minutes.

FYI - I've created an Okta Idea to request the creation of an Event Hook for "policy.mapping.create" event type. (*171437) Please upvote this idea if this is something you would be interested in. Thanks!

Hi @Matthew Harshbarger (State of Iowa) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
As far as I know, the Events API is being phased out. I'm surprised it's still on, but that's probably delayed for pre-existing deployments.
The following articles provide more info on this:
