## `api_json.log`
Introduced in GitLab 10.0, this file lives in
`/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/api_json.log`
for Omnibus GitLab packages or in
`/home/git/gitlab/log/api_json.log`
for installations from source.
It helps you see requests made directly to the API. For example:
```

This entry above shows an access to an internal endpoint to check whether an
associated SSH key can download the project in question via a
`git fetch`
or
`git clone`
. In this example, we see:
1.
`method`
: The HTTP method used to make the request
1.
`path`
: The relative path of the query
1.
`params`
: Key-value pairs passed in a query string or HTTP body. Sensitive parameters (e.g. passwords, tokens, etc.) are filtered out.
1.
`ua`
: The User-Agent of the requester
