# Inspect Historical Auction Events

{% hint style="danger" %}
Shio permanently shut down on 12 May 2026. This page is kept as a historical reference only; the Shio feed, bidding APIs, explorer, and RPC endpoints are no longer active.
{% endhint %}

Once an auction completed, a series of events were persisted, including when the auction started, what bids were accepted, etc. This information was useful for debugging, giving searchers visibility into what happened during the auction.

Note that rejected bids (for any reason) did not generate an event.

Historically, to retrieve such events, searchers sent the following request to `https://rpc.getshio.com/`. This endpoint is no longer active.

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "shio_auctionEvents",
  "params": [
    "FRTxR2eMbu9DXaQUGSbvmCPTCm78ufBTPxu618Fd8c6P",
  ]
}
```

The method `shio_auctionEvents` accepted only one parameter, which was the digest of the opportunity transaction.

Alternatively, searchers could browse recent bundles in [Shio Explorer](https://www.getshio.com/explorer). The Explorer is no longer active. Historically, it did not show auctions that had no bid accepted at all.
