Request logs data reference

The article explains the file format and data structure of the API request log feature, detailing the content and available data.

This article describes the file format and data structure delivered by the API request log feature.

File Format

Files are GZIPPED in NDJSON format.

File Content

The logs will contain detailed HTTP event information, with each line representing an individual event.

Protip

Filter out studioRequest from your cost analysis.

Requests from Sanity Studio are not counted towards API or bandwidth usage and do not incur any cost, so it might be useful to remove them from any workflow that involves monitoring or prediction of your billable data consumption.

File delivery for projects on enterprise plans

We key the object using Hive partitioning with the following format:

gs://event-logs/project_id=[string]/kind=[event-type:string]/dt=[date:DATE]/[file-name:string].ndjson.gz

This allows data to be loaded into various platforms with the project ID, data type, and date used as partitioning properties.
