How can I view detailed logs of API requests including full prompt data?

Below is an explanation on what’s available via the API related to audit logs and what it does (and does not) include.

Audit Logs Endpoint

The OpenAI API provides an audit logs endpoint that allows organizations to review certain events. You can use it to see events like:

• Key updates (e.g., when an API key is updated)
• Actions related to user sessions or configuration changes
• Other administrative events within your organization

Here’s an example command showing how you might retrieve these logs:

BASHCopied
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/organization/audit_logs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_ADMIN_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

The JSON output shows details such as the type of event, timestamps, and actor details.

Limitations Regarding Request Content

The current audit logs do not include the full content of every request (e.g., the complete prompt text). The data returned is focused on administrative events — so while it can help track certain actions on your organization’s account, it does not provide a comprehensive log of each prompt that was sent.

If you need to inspect every prompt your application is sending (for debugging or other purposes), you would need to implement your own logging mechanism in your application. This way you can capture both the request and the response locally before they are sent to or after they are received from the API.

Summary

• Audit logs are available: They show key administrative events.
• Prompt details are not logged: For privacy and security reasons, the API does not return every prompt detail.
• Implement local logging: To capture full request details (including your prompt), record them within your own application.

This approach should help you isolate issues with the responses by allowing you to see exactly what is being sent out.
