Reports API: Is filtering by intValue (int64) parameters like start_time supported in calendar audit logs?

Google Workspace Developers Q&A

Hi Google Workspace Developers Community :waving_hand:

What I’m Trying to Do

I’m building an audit tool that fetches deleted Google Calendar
events for users in our domain using the Admin SDK Reports API.

I want to search for events with a specific start_time value
(e.g., 63894355200) using the filters query parameter.

The Problem

The start_time parameter in calendar audit logs is returned
as an intValue (int64) in the API response:

{
“name”: “start_time”,
“intValue”: “63894355200”
}

However, when I try to filter using this value, I get errors:

:cross_mark: filters=start_time==63894355200
→ 500 Internal Server Error

:cross_mark: filters=start_time==“63894355200”
→ 400 Bad Request: “Invalid value for parameter start_time
of type integer”

My Questions

  1. Is filtering on intValue (int64) fields supported in the
    filters parameter of activities.list?

  2. If not, is this documented somewhere? I couldn’t find any
    explicit mention in the official docs:
    Method: activities.list  |  Admin console  |  Google for Developers

  3. Is there any alternative API-level approach to filter by
    start_time without fetching all events client-side?

Current Workaround

Right now I’m fetching ALL deleted events and filtering locally
in Python by comparing the intValue as a string:

matched = [
item for item in results.get(“items”, )
for event in item.get(“events”, )
for param in event.get(“parameters”, )
if param.get(“name”) == “start_time”
and param.get(“intValue”) == “63894355200”
]

This works but is very inefficient for large domains with
thousands of calendar events.

Any guidance from the community or Google team would be
greatly appreciated! :folded_hands:
