# Get a container's raw events

> Retrieve raw, carrier-sourced container events from the Terminal49 API. Note: deprecated — use transport events for normalized milestone data instead.

<Warning>
  This endpoint is deprecated. For past milestone data, use [Get a container's transport events](/api-docs/api-reference/containers/get-a-containers-transport-events).
</Warning>

Returns past and estimated future milestones for a container as reported by the carrier. The `event` and `timestamp` attributes are normalized where possible; other attributes are passed through as-is. Not every value in `event` has a normalized name — container movement events are usually normalized, but exceptions occur.

The response includes an `original_event` field with the raw carrier event name, which is not present on `transport_events`.

## `raw_events` vs `transport_events`

|                                  | `raw_events`                               | `transport_events`                    |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| Status                           | Deprecated                                 | Recommended                           |
| Source                           | Carrier feed, mostly as-is                 | Vetted and normalized across carriers |
| Includes estimated future events | Yes                                        | No                                    |
| Includes `original_event`        | Yes                                        | No                                    |
| Data quality                     | More events, less consistent normalization | Fewer events, higher confidence       |

Use `transport_events` for past milestones. Use `raw_events` only when you need the carrier's original event name or estimated future events that are not yet delivered as transport events.
