API call logs

Hello - 

I'm looking to get insight into an API call that took place on a certain date for one of our connected apps. Is there a standard area to view this in or can this only be done in the developer console with a query? 

thank you!

One option here is the Event Monitoring API. If enabled in the org in question, it will record the API calls being made.

E.g. From the developer console.

select Id, EventType, LogDate, LogFileLength from EventLogFile where EventType = 'API' and LogDate = 2016-02-20T00:00:00.000Z

Look for the EventType of API and the LogDate for the UTC day of interest.

You can then pull down the single LogFile data, which is a base 64 encoded CSV with all the API calls for that day.

Sample image from the FuseIT SFDC Explorer Event Log tab that uses the same API calls.
