To get audit logs for API access and changes, I need to know which product/platform you mean, because the steps vary a lot.
Common possibilities:
- AWS: use CloudTrail for API activity and config changes
- Azure: use Azure Activity Log / Entra audit logs
- Google Cloud: use Cloud Audit Logs
- GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket: use audit logs in the org/admin settings
- A SaaS app or internal API platform: often there’s an “audit log” or “activity log” section in admin settings
In general, look for:
- Authentication / access logs – who called the API, from where, and when
- Audit/change logs – what was changed, old vs new values, and by whom
- Export options – to SIEM, storage bucket, or log streaming
- Retention settings – how long logs are kept
If you tell me the exact platform (and whether you want read-only access logs, write/change logs, or both), I can give you the exact steps.
