## View API log entries in the Developer Tab

API Logs enable you to view your API transaction history and debug API errors with no setup required. When a API request is sent Circle stores it along with its associated response. On the API logs page, you can view these API logs for up to seven days later and filter them to find the specific request you are looking for. To access the logs, go to Circle Sandbox or Circle Account and click on Developer Tab -> Logs.

## API Log Data Elements

For each API request and response Circle will store the following information.
