Simple Log Service:GetLogsV2

Last Updated:Jun 29, 2026

Queries raw log data from a specified Logstore in a project and returns raw logs within a specified time range. The results are compressed before transmission.

Operation description

  • Specify the compression method during use. Different programming languages implement different compression algorithms. For details, see the Accept-Encoding request parameter.

  • For more information, see GetLogs.

Authentication

Request syntax

POST /logstores/{logstore}/logs HTTP/1.1

Path Parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

logstore

string

Yes

The Logstore name.

test-logstore

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

project

string

Yes

The project name.

ali-test-project

Accept-Encoding

string

No

The compression method for the response content. SDK users do not need to specify this parameter because the SDK automatically handles compression and decompression.

  • Java, Python, and Go currently support lz4 and gzip decompression.

  • php, JavaScript, and C# currently support only gzip decompression.

Valid values:

  • lz4 :

    lz4

  • gzip :

    gzip

lz4

body

object

No

The request struct.

from

integer

Yes

The start time of the query. This time refers to the log time specified when log data is written.

The time range defined by the from and to request parameters follows the left-closed, right-open principle. The time range includes the start time but excludes the end time. If the values of from and to are the same, the time range is invalid and the function returns an error. The value is a UNIX timestamp representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

1627268185

to

integer

Yes

The end time of the query. This time refers to the log time specified when log data is written.

The time range defined by the from and to request parameters follows the left-closed, right-open principle. The time range includes the start time but excludes the end time. If the values of from and to are the same, the time range is invalid and the function returns an error. The value is a UNIX timestamp representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

1627268185

line

integer

No

The maximum number of logs to return. This parameter is valid only when the query parameter is a query statement (not an analytic statement). Minimum value: 0. Maximum value: 100. Default value: 100.

100

offset

integer

No

The row from which the query starts. This parameter is valid only when the query parameter is a query statement (not an analytic statement). The value starts from 0. Default value: 0.

0

reverse

boolean

No

Specifies whether to return logs in reverse chronological order of log timestamps, accurate to the minute level. This parameter is valid only when the query parameter is a query statement (not an analytic statement).

  • true: Returns logs in descending order of log timestamps.

  • false (default): Returns logs in ascending order of log timestamps.

To sort results in an analytic statement, use the ORDER BY syntax. If ORDER BY is set to asc (default), logs are returned in ascending order. If ORDER BY is set to desc, logs are returned in descending order.

false

powerSql

boolean

No

Specifies whether to enable Dedicated SQL. Disabled by default.

false

session

string

No

The query parameter.

mode=scan

topic

string

No

The topic. Default value: empty string.

""

query

string

No

The query statement or analytic statement. For more information, see query overview and analysis overview.

Add set session parallel_sql=true; to the analytic statement in the query parameter to use Dedicated SQL. Example: * | set session parallel_sql=true; select count(*) as pv.

Note: When the query parameter contains an analytic statement (SQL statement), the line and offset parameters of this API are invalid. Set them to 0. Use the LIMIT syntax in the SQL statement for pagination. For more information, see Display query and analysis results by page.

status: 401 | SELECT remote_addr,COUNT(*) as pv GROUP by remote_addr ORDER by pv desc limit 5

forward

boolean

No

Specifies whether to page forward or backward for scan or phrase queries.

false

highlight

boolean

No

Specifies whether to enable highlighting.

false

isAccurate

boolean

No

Specifies whether to enable nanosecond-precision ordering.

true
