You can use the Activity Log tab in the Analytics page to view API access requests for a selected date range.
The Activity Log tab shows API access attempts in chronological order. To sort the access logs, click the title of the column to sort. The last time that you refreshed the data is displayed beside the Find field.
Note: The timestamp displayed is based on the local time zone setting of your browser.

Downloading activity logs
Download API activity logs from the Analytics page. You can download up to 500 log entries as a CSV file for a date range or download a ZIP file of the logs for a specific month from the last six months.
1Navigate to the Analytics page. On the Activity Log tab, perform one of the following actions:
- To download logs for a date range, select dates from the date range menu and click Show Log. The API Invocations table shows logs for the date range.
- To download logs for a specific month, select a month from the Download log (ZIP) list.
2Click Download.
Note: The ZIP file includes one or more current log files. API Manager renames the current files according to the date, and creates current files for new activity log entries once per day. During new releases, API Manager doesn't rename the existing current files, but creates new current files.
