# GET /api/v1/logs

> Read the tail of one log

- Group: logs
- Tier: R
- Required scope: read:hosting
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/logs/read-logs

## Description

Returns `{target, kind, source, path, lines[], lineCount, truncated}`. `truncated` means the tail was capped at the requested `lines` (500 max), not that anything was lost. `kind=email` needs an email address as `input`; the other kinds take a domain.

## Query parameters

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response.
- `kind` — enum (required). Which log: error (website errors), access (web requests), or email (mail logs — needs an email address as input). One of error, access, email.
- `contains` — string. Only return lines containing this substring (case-insensitive). Use it to find one request or error without pulling the whole log.
- `lines` — integer. How many of the most recent lines to return. Default 50, maximum 500. Range 1–500.

curl -X GET "https://mcp.inleed.com/api/v1/logs?input=example.se&kind=error&contains=example.se&lines=1" \
