# Store event data using the GetEventPredictions API operation
<a name="storing-events-geteventprediction-api"></a>

By default, all events sent to the `GetEventPrediction` API for evaluation are stored in Amazon Fraud Detector. This means that Amazon Fraud Detector will automatically store event data when you generate a prediction and use that data to update calculated variables in near-real time. You can disable data storage by navigating to the event type in the Amazon Fraud Detector console and setting **Event ingestion** OFF or updating the EventIngestion value to DISABLED using the `PutEventType` API operation. For more information about the `GetEventPrediction` API operation, see [Fraud predictions](getting-fraud-predictions.md). 

**Important**  
We highly recommend that once you enable *Event ingestion* for an Event type, keep it enabled. Disabling the Event ingestion for the same Event type and then generating predictions might result in inconsistent behavior.
