# Query branch logs

**POST** `/projects/{project_id}/branches/{branch_id}/logs/query`

Returns logs emitted by services running on the specified branch,
ordered by timestamp according to `sort_order`.

All supplied filters are combined with `AND`: a record is returned only
when it matches every filter. `minimum_severity` and `severity_text` are
independent filters, so setting both requires a record to clear the
severity floor *and* match the exact severity text.

Supply `logql` instead of the structured filters to run a raw LogQL
expression. Combining it with any structured filter is rejected rather
than silently ignored; `limit`, `sort_order`, and the time window still
apply, because those bound the query rather than form part of the
expression.

Give the window either as `since` — a duration ending at `end_time`, or
at the current time when `end_time` is omitted — or as an explicit
`start_time`. Supplying both is rejected.

A single response holds at most 1,000 records. When `is_truncated` is
`true`, pass the returned `next_cursor` back as `cursor` to fetch the
next page, repeating the time range and every filter unchanged.

If no time range is supplied, the query covers the previous hour. The
maximum supported time range is seven days. `end_time` is exclusive.

**Note**: This endpoint is currently in Private Beta.

## Responses

| Status | Description | Media type |

| `200` | Logs matching the supplied filters | `application/json` |
| `400` | The query could not be served as written. The body is always `ProjectBranchLogsInvalidQuery` — see `reason` for the exact cause. | `application/json` |

| `default` | General Error. The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received. - If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred. - In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results. The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**. The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`.

### Example response: 200 — Logs matching the supplied filters

```json
{
  "is_truncated": true,
  "logs": [
    {
      "attributes": {
        "additionalProp1": null
      },

      "trace_id": "string"
    }
  ],
  "next_cursor": "string"
}
```

### Example response: 400 — The query could not be served as written. The body is always
`ProjectBranchLogsInvalidQuery` — see `reason` for the exact cause.

```json
{
  "code": "LOGS_INVALID_QUERY",
  "message": "string",
  "reason": "conflicting_filters"
}
```

### Example response: 404 — Logs are not available for this branch, or the project/branch was
not found. The body is always `ProjectBranchLogsNotAvailable` — see
`reason` for the exact cause.

```json
{
  "code": "LOGS_NOT_AVAILABLE",
  "message": "string",
  "reason": "branch_not_found"
}
```

### Example response: default — General Error.

The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code,
and whether a response was received.

- If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred.
- In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results.

The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**.
The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout.

Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry.

Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.

```json
{
  "code": "",
  "message": "string",
  "request_id": "string"
}
