-### GetActorEvents and SubscribeActorEvents
+### GetActorEventsRaw and SubscribeActorEventsRaw
 
 [FIP-0049](https://github.com/filecoin-project/FIPs/blob/master/FIPS/fip-0049.md) introduced _Actor Events_ that can be emitted by user programmed actors. [FIP-0083](https://github.com/filecoin-project/FIPs/blob/master/FIPS/fip-0083.md) introduces new events emitted by the builtin Verified Registry, Miner and Market Actors. These new events for builtin actors are being activated with network version 22 to coincide with _Direct Data Onboarding_ as defined in [FIP-0076](https://github.com/filecoin-project/FIPs/blob/master/FIPS/fip-0076.md) which introduces additional flexibility for data onboarding. Sector, Deal and DataCap lifecycles can be tracked with these events, providing visibility and options for programmatic responses to changes in state.
 
-Actor events are available on message receipts, but can now be retrieved from a node using the new `GetActorEvents` and `SubscribeActorEvents` methods. These methods allow for querying and subscribing to actor events, respectively. They depend on the Lotus node both collecting events (with `Events.RealTimeFilterAPI` and `Events.HistoricFilterAPI`) and being enabled with the new configuration option `Events.EnableActorEventsAPI`. Note that a Lotus node can only respond to requests for historic events that it retains in its event store.

+Both `GetActorEventsRaw` and `SubscribeActorEventsRaw` take a filter parameter which can optionally filter events on:
 
 * `Addresses` of the actor(s) emitting the event
 * Specific `Fields` within the event
 * `FromHeight` and `ToHeight` to filter events by block height
 * `TipSetKey` to restrict events contained within a specific tipset
 
-`GetActorEvents` provides a one-time query for actor events, while `SubscribeActorEvents` provides a long-lived connection (via websockets) to the Lotus node, allowing for real-time updates on actor events. The subscription can be cancelled by the client at any time.

+A future Lotus release may include `GetActorEvents` and `SubscribeActorEvents` methods which will provide a more user-friendly interface to actor events, including deserialization of event data.
