Laravel API Requests Logger

A lightweight Laravel package for logging the requests made to your API. Each authenticated request is stored with its URL, method, IP, payload, headers, response, and duration — linked to the user that made it, with sensitive values redacted before anything hits the database.

Quick start

composer require codetech/laravel-api-logs

Publish the migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CodeTech\ApiLogs\Providers\ApiLogServiceProvider" --tag=migrations

Run the migrations:

php artisan migrate

Append the middleware to the api middleware group in your bootstrap/app.php:

use CodeTech\ApiLogs\Http\Middleware\LogApiRequest;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    // ...
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->appendToGroup('api', LogApiRequest::class);
    })
    // ...
    ->create();

Add the HasApiLogs trait to the model that makes the requests to browse its history:

use CodeTech\ApiLogs\Traits\HasApiLogs;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiLogs;
}

$user->apiLogs; // all ApiLog entries for the user
