GET /v1/sites/{siteId}/web-logs
Get the tail of a site's access and error logs.
Authentication
Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the sites.view permission; a key without it is refused with 403, not 404.
This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.
Try it
Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.
curl -X GET https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/sites/{siteId}/web-logs \
-H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…"Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console
Details
The customer's own web-server logs for their own site. Until this endpoint existed a customer could not see their access log **at all**, which is why *"why is my site slow"* was a support ticket rather than a tab. ⛔ **The path is `/web-logs`, deliberately not `/logs`.** `/v1/ops/logs` is Loki and staff-only, and two endpoints differing by a prefix are two endpoints somebody confuses in a runbook at three in the morning. ⛔ `access` is a list of the customer's **visitors'** IP addresses — personal data held under the customer's lawful basis, not ours. It is served only to a principal entitled to the site, must not be cached by the client, and both streams are cut to their most recent bytes so a busy site cannot answer with tens of megabytes; `truncated` says so rather than implying the tail is the whole. `unreadable` is `true` when the vendor answered with a body naming neither log — which is **not** the same as a site with no traffic, and must never render as two empty panes. Requires `sites.view` **and** `sites.panel_access`. `404` for a site with no managed hosting package.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
siteId (path) | Uuid | Yes | Site ID (UUIDv7). |
Response
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
access | string | Yes | The tail of the access log, or `""` when the vendor published none. |
error | string | Yes | The tail of the error log, or `""` when the vendor published none. On a misconfigured application it can carry absolute paths and credentials in a stack trace. |
truncated | boolean | Yes | Either stream was cut to its most recent bytes. Say so rather than implying the tail is the whole log. |
unreadable | boolean | Yes | The vendor answered with a body naming **neither** log. ⛔ Not the same as a site with no traffic, and must never render as two empty panes. |
