# List requests, newest first (the request log)

Requests

GET `/v1/requests`

Every endpoint request the account made, newest first, cursor-paged: its endpoint, params, status, outcome, credits, latency and whether the cache answered, filtered by endpoint, key, outcome, surface and time, and searched by the params' values (q: a handle, a link or an ID). Requests are kept for `log_retention_s` (30 days), at most `log_max_rows` (1000000) per account. Responses are kept only with keep_response_bodies on (GET /v1/requests/{id}/response). A request appears within about 10 seconds. Requests refused before any work are not listed (the runaway-protection ceiling's: GET /v1/usage/rate counts them; over the failure budget or while the API was paused: GET /v1/usage does). Free.

**Auth:** an API key with the `account:read` scope, or the dashboard session.

## Example

cURL:

```shell
curl 'https://socialtap.dev/v1/requests' \
  -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY"
```

## Response

### 200

List requests, newest first (the request log)

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `data` | `object[]` | This page's items. |
| `data[].api_key_id` | `string` | The key that made it (key_…). |
| `data[].cached` | `boolean` | true when served from the cache. |
| `data[].client_request_id` | `string` or `null` | The client-request-id header it was sent with; null when none. |
| `data[].created_at` | `string` (date-time) | When it was made, RFC 3339 UTC (milliseconds). |
| `data[].credits_charged` | `integer` | Credits charged (0: failures and cache hits are free). |
| `data[].endpoint` | `string` | Endpoint ID (youtube.transcript). |
| `data[].http_status` | `integer` | The answer's HTTP status. |
| `data[].id` | `string` | The request ID: meta.request_id of its answer and its request-id header. |
| `data[].latency_ms` | `integer` | Time from receiving the request to answering it, in milliseconds. |
| `data[].object` | `string` | Always request.<br>One of `request` |
| `data[].outcome` | `string` | ok, or the error code it answered. |
| `data[].params` | `object` | The query params as sent (at most 32; a value longer than 2048 characters is cut). Run the request again with them. |
| `data[].params_truncated` | `boolean` | true when a param or a value was cut: params is not the whole request. |
| `data[].response_body` | `object` | Whether its answer's body was kept (GET /v1/requests/{id}/response returns it). |
| `data[].response_body.expires_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | When the kept body is (or was) deleted, RFC 3339 UTC; null when off or not_stored. |
| `data[].response_body.size_bytes` | `integer` or `null` | The whole answer body's size in bytes; null when off or not_stored. |
| `data[].response_body.status` | `string` | stored: GET /v1/requests/{id}/response returns it until expires_at. expired: it was kept, and deleted 7 days after the request. off: the account was not keeping response bodies when the request was made (keep_response_bodies). not_stored: it was on, but this body could not be stored, or it answered without a charge past the small allowance of those kept per minute (charged answers are always kept).<br>One of `stored`, `expired`, `off`, `not_stored` |
| `data[].response_body.truncated` | `boolean` | true when the answer was longer than 1 MB: only its first 1 MB were kept. |
| `data[].surface` | `string` | How it reached the API: rest (an HTTP request), mcp (an MCP tool call) or job (a request of a job). New values may be added. |
| `meta` | `object` | The shared route meta (see the API reference introduction). |
| `page` | `object` |  |
| `page.end_reason` | `string` or `null` | Why there are no more pages; null while has_more is true. end: the list ended, or reached since/until. platform_limit: the platform stops serving further pages although the list goes on. max_pages: SocialTap's cap on pages in one walk. New values may be added. A short or empty page is not the end: only has_more false is.<br>One of `end`, `platform_limit`, `max_pages` |
| `page.has_more` | `boolean` | True when another page exists; then next_cursor is set. An empty page with has_more true is not the end. |
| `page.next_cursor` | `string` or `null` | Pass as cursor, with the same other parameters, to get the next page; null at the end. |
| `page.next_cursor_expires_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | When next_cursor stops working, RFC 3339 UTC; null at the end. Don't store cursors. |

### 400

400 Bad Request.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `invalid_input` | 400 | No | A parameter is missing or malformed, or the link is not one this endpoint takes. | Fix the parameter named in param as the message says. For a link of the wrong kind, call an endpoint listed in details.endpoints, when there is one. |
| `invalid_cursor` | 400 | No | The cursor is malformed or expired, belongs to another endpoint, or came with other parameters than the request that returned it. | Repeat the original request without cursor to start the list again. |

### 401

401 Unauthorized.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `unauthorized` | 401 | No | The x-api-key header is missing, or its key is unknown or revoked. On the dashboard's routes: the session cookie is missing or expired. | Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header. No key yet? A person gets one at details.signup_url; an AI agent follows details.agent_auth_url. |

### 403

403 Forbidden.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `forbidden` | 403 | No | The API key is valid but may not make this request, and details.reason says why: the account is suspended, the key lacks the route's scope, waits for its owner to confirm it by email, has expired, or was used from an IP outside its allowlist, or a rotated key's previous secret was used for a call that needs the admin scope. A running job stops with it too when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item: a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403, so branch on the code. | Act on details.reason. suspended: contact [support](mailto:support@socialtap.dev). scope: use a key with details.required_scope. previous_secret: use the new secret. key_pending: have the owner open the emailed link. key_expired or key_revoked: create a new key. ip_not_allowed: call from an allowed IP. |

### 429

429 Too Many Requests.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `rate_limited` | 429 | Yes, later | The account passed its runaway-protection ceiling: a high per-account limit that stops a broken client loop (plans have no rate limit). Requests without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint) are limited per IP address instead. It also stops an account whose failed requests in the last hour cost far more than its successful ones paid for: failures are free within a limit (the message says so), and successes raise it. | Wait the seconds in the retry-after header, then retry. If your steady traffic needs more, ask [support](mailto:support@socialtap.dev) to raise the ceiling; without an API key, send one. |
