Quick curl examples

POST a URL-encoded log (common for forms and simple scripts):

curl -X POST -d "log_type=warning&log_message=Temperature%20over%20threshold&temp=82" https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN

POST JSON (structured payload):

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"log_type":"info","msg":"service started","uptime":120}' https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN

Retrieve logs (GET returns JSON):

curl -X GET https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN

Windows PowerShell

Use Invoke-RestMethod to send JSON from PowerShell:

$body = @{log_type='warning'; log_message='Temperature over threshold'; temp=82} | ConvertTo-Json
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN' -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType 'application/json'

Simple GET in PowerShell:

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN' -Method Get

Node.js (server or script)

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

// Send JSON
await fetch('https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ log_type: 'info', msg: 'job completed' })
});

// Retrieve logs
const res = await fetch('https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN');
const logs = await res.json();
console.log(logs);

Python (requests)

import requests

# Send JSON
resp = requests.post(
    'https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN',
    json={ 'log_type': 'warning', 'log_message': 'Temperature over threshold', 'temp': 82 }
)
print(resp.json())

# Retrieve logs
resp = requests.get('https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN')
logs = resp.json()
print(f"Retrieved {len(logs)} logs")

Raspberry Pi / Linux

On small Linux boards you can use curl or Python; example using curl in a cron job or shell script:

# from the shell
curl -X POST -d "log_type=info&log_message=booted&host=$(hostname)" https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN

Or use the Python example above for richer logic and retries.

ESP8266 / ESP32 (Arduino)

Use the built-in HTTP client to POST JSON from microcontrollers:

// Arduino (ESP8266/ESP32) pseudo-example
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <HTTPClient.h>

HTTPClient http;
http.begin("https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN");
http.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
int code = http.POST("{\"log_type\":\"sensor\",\"value\":42}");
String resp = http.getString();
http.end();

Power BI / Excel (Power Query)

Import logs as JSON and visualize them. In Power BI Desktop use Get Data → Web and enter the GET URL:

https://your-server.example.com/v1/YOUR_TOKEN

Alternatively use Power Query M to fetch and parse JSON:

let
  Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://logapi.org/v1/YOUR_TOKEN"))
in
  Source

Use the returned JSON table to build visuals or export to Excel.

Integrating from applications

Any language or platform that can make HTTP requests can send logs to LogAPI. Use POST for sending data and GET for retrieving logs. Keep tokens secret — anyone with the token can read and delete logs.
