API Call Log

The API Call Log records the technical details of every API call – ideal for understanding the exact cause of an error.

Enabling

Logging is controlled by the configuration setting Enable Developer Log. In the event of HTTP errors, an entry is created even if logging is switched off.

Enable the Developer Log specifically for troubleshooting. In continuous operation it generates a large number of entries.

Contents of an entry

Field	Meaning
Timestamp (request/response)	Time stamp
Method	GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE
Request URL	Complete API URL
Success / status code	Result of the call
Request data / response data	JSON content of the request and response
Source	Reference to the BC object

Usage

1. Enable the Developer Log.
2. Repeat the process (for example, a product upload).
3. Open the relevant entry in the API Call Log and check the request/response.

The page shows the request and the response in plain text – ideal for providing support with precise information.
