API Logs

Here, we guide you through how Uniblock provides detailed logging and how you can access and interpret these logs for optimal API performance.

Why API Logs Matter? 🧐

API logs offer visibility into the operation of your application. By analyzing API logs, you can:

• Identify and diagnose issues.
• Monitor API health and performance.
• Track user activity and patterns.
• Ensure security by detecting malicious activities.

Reading the Logs 📖

Each log entry provides a number of requests made to external provider according to fallback list and the request detail of them:

• Method: the http request method, such as GET or POST.
• Endpoint: Which API endpoint was accessed.
• Status: Success or error status code.
• Provider: The provider that provided the final response.
• Response: The provider(s) responses that attempted the API call.
• Response Time: How long the API took to respond, also as known as latency.
• Date: The date and time when the request was made.

Detailed API Request Logs 📝

Clicking into a log entry provides in-depth log information for each API request to provide a transparent view into the interactions between your application and our system, as well as a series of requests attempted with external provider according to the fallback list. Here's a breakdown of the key components in our detailed logs for each request:

• HTTP Method: Such as GET, indicating the type of request made.

• Endpoint Name: A brief descriptor like TokenMetadata offering context on the purpose of the request.

• Endpoint Path: The specific path like /v1/token/metadata accessed on our servers.

• Timestamp: The exact time when the request was made.

  • Host: The domain making the request.
  • User-Agent: Information about the client system and browser.
  • Accept: The type of content expected in response.
