Use the Theta Video API to fetch the object. A URI to the object is added to the event for convenience.

🚧

Delivery of events is not guaranteed to be in the same order they were generated.

A 2xx status code response is expected from the partner backend. If the partner backend does not respond with a 2xx status code, the Theta Video API will keep retrying with exponential backoff.
