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! 🙂


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
