About this method # A

Get the logs of the latest search and indexing operations.

Retrieve the logs of your last 1,000 API calls. This helps with real-time debugging of your application.

This method only returns the logs of the targeted cluster.

All logs have a seven-day retention period. After that, they’re no longer accessible from the API.

This API method counts towards your operation quota but isn’t logged.
