Reads an event back by id, with its fields, actions and answer. Poll this to learn whether an event that waits was answered: answer.status is pending, answered, expired or canceled; once answered, answer.action is the pressed button's id and answer.values holds the fields by id. Polling every few seconds is fine: the rate limit is 100 requests per minute per API key, in fixed 60-second windows.

`GET /v1/events/{id}`
