Hello I am trying to pull activity log data from my board but am getting a 500 internal server error. The monday.com status site says everything is up and running though. Is there anything wrong with my request?

Hi @Jmiller1!

GraphQL APIs use a single endpoint for all operations (unlike REST APIs). Our API endpoint is:
https://api.monday.com/v2

You’ll need to write a query for Activity Logs, for example:

query {
  boards (ids: 1234567890) {
    activity_logs (from: "2021-07-23T00:00:00Z", to: "2021-07-26T00:00:00Z") {
      id
      event
      data
    }
  }
}

Additionally, requests to the API should follow these rules:

  • POST request with a JSON-formatted body
  • Access token must be sent in the Authorization header. Learn more here: Authentication
  • All queries (including mutations) should be sent with the query key in your JSON body
  • Optional variables should use the variables key
  • Content Type header must be application/json, unless you’re uploading Files

I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Hi Alessandra, thank you for the response. I was able to find the link you sent above, but I can’t figure out how it plugs into the python query. I attached a picture of how the documentation says to format in Python, how does what you provided plug into that structure?

Hello there @Jmiller1,

I have created an example for you on Postman and exported it to:

Python - http.client:

import http.client
import json
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection(“api.monday.com”)
payload = “{“query”:“query {\n boards (ids: 1234567890) {\n activity_logs (from: "2023-05-10T00:00:00Z", to: "2023-05-22T00:00:00Z") {\n id\n event\n data\n }\n }\n}”,“variables”:{}}”
headers = {
‘Authorization’: ‘APIKEYHERE’,
‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,
}
conn.request(“POST”, “/v2”, payload, headers)
res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()
print(data.decode(“utf-8”))

–

Python - Requests:

import requests
import json
url = “https://api.monday.com/v2”
payload=“{“query”:“query {\n boards (ids: 1234567890) {\n activity_logs (from: "2023-05-10T00:00:00Z", to: "2023-05-22T00:00:00Z") {\n id\n event\n data\n }\n }\n}”,“variables”:{}}”
headers = {
‘Authorization’: ‘APIKEYHERE’,
‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,
}
response = requests.request(“POST”, url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

I hope that helps!

Cheers,

Matias
