# View API request logs

You can view the logs of [API](/19/docs/what-is-the-external-api) requests in two ways. Firstly, you can check the **Logs** page by following these steps:

1. Navigate to *Quick-access menu > Server > Logs*.
2. Click the sources filter (by default this will say **All sources**) and select **API** from the dropdown list. Configure the other filters as required, for example if you want to see the logs for a specific day. If you want logs for only a specific client, you can filter ****All participants**** to the name of the service account used by that client.
3. Click **Get these logs**.

You can then review the table to see all API requests matching your configured filters.

Alternatively, you can see API requests in the site's live logs by navigating to *Quick-access menu > Server > Live logs*. API requests will appear in this table with the value **api** in the **Origin** column.
