The Store Logs API allows merchants to track events in their store. Each event creates an entry in the log. To process events over time, you can configure external systems to retrieve store log entries. For example, you can see how often merchants request shipping quotes from a carrier. You can also learn more about errors that occur on a store.
The store logs track events from all storefront channels. Examples of events include sign-ups for newsletters and changes to order statuses. You can retrieve an entry for 365 days after its timestamp.
This guide demonstrates how to use the Store Logs API. For more info, see the Store Logs API reference.
Send a request to the Get system logs endpoint. The API responds with the earliest 20 entries. The response orders the entries chronologically, from earliest to latest.
To filter the entries by log ID, pass a comma-separated list of log IDs to the id:in query parameter.
The following example retrieves entries by log ID:
The store logs categorize entries into various types. For example, requesting shipping quotes at checkout creates a shipping entry. To filter entries by type, use the type query parameter. For a list of log types, see the Get system logs endpoint reference.
The following example retrieves shipping entries:
To see how often merchants request shipping quotes from a specific carrier, URL-encode the carrier name and pass it to the module query parameter.
The following example retrieves shipping entries by module:
Each event has an associated outcome, also known as severity. To filter the results by severity, use the severity query parameter. Specify the severity’s corresponding integer in the query. For a list of severity values, see the Get system logs endpoint reference.
The following example retrieves notices, which have a severity of 2:
As stated at the beginning of the section, the Get system logs endpoint returns the earliest 20 entries by default. To retrieve newer or differently grouped subsets of entries, use a combination of the page and limit query parameters.
The following example requests page two with two entries per page, which returns the third and fourth-oldest entries:
