Data access log

The workspace Data access log records every request that an API key or a connected app made to read the data of the workspace. Use it to see who read your data, when, and what they read.

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

• To open the page, go to the workspace Settings and click Data access log in the Workspace Settings sidebar.
• Every role can open the page. Owners and admins see every request. A member sees only the requests from the API keys and connected apps that they created.
• The log shows API and MCP requests only. It does not show what people do in the app.

Requests cardCopy Anchor Link

Owners and admins see the Requests card. A member sees the same card as Your activity.

The card groups requests that one credential made close together into one row. A credential is an API key or a connected app. Each row shows:

• The time of the first request.
• The name of the credential, or Deleted credential.
• A chip: API key or Connected app.
• A summary, for example "6 requests · 15 credits", or Free.
• A red chip such as 2 failed, if some requests failed.

Hover over the credential name to see Owned by, What it did and Credential.

Request detailsCopy Anchor Link

Click a row to open it. The list shows each request with its time, the endpoint in plain words and its credits. A failed request shows its status code.

Owned by names the member who created the credential. It does not name the person who sent the request, because anybody who has an API key can use it.

A request costs 0 credits when VitalSentinel answered from its cache, when the endpoint is free, or when it failed. VitalSentinel never charges a request that did not succeed.

Failed requestsCopy Anchor Link

If some requests on the page failed or were refused, the card shows a warning such as 3 failed or refused on this page.

Date rangeCopy Anchor Link

The filter bar at the bottom of the page sets the date range. The options are the last 7, 28, 30 and 90 days, and This cycle (the current billing cycle). The default is the last 28 days.

If no request was made in the range, the page shows No API access in this period.

Download the log as CSVCopy Anchor Link

1. Select the date range in the filter bar.
2. Click Download CSV.

The message Data access log downloaded confirms it. The button is not available when the log has no rows. If you are a member, the file contains only the requests from your own API keys and connected apps.

TroubleshootingCopy Anchor Link

Why is the Data access log empty?Copy Anchor Link

If nobody used an API key or connected app in the date range, the page shows No API access in this period. Select a longer date range. If you are a member, you see only your own credentials.

What is the difference between the Data access log and the API credits page?Copy Anchor Link

The API credits page shows the credits billed to this workspace in the current cycle. The Data access log shows every request that read this workspace's data, with a longer date range and a CSV export.

Who sent a request with an API key?Copy Anchor Link

The log shows who created the key (Owned by), not who used it. If you do not know a key, revoke it on the API access page.
