How can we fetch the logs of a particular source using graylog api and which api will be used for that? Please guide me regrading this.

- Did you read through the [instructions](https://docs.graylog.org/docs/rest-api)?
- Did you try anything? You could post what you found to be close and ask for more detail…
- You could mention your environment… what version of Graylog are you using? The answer might be different…
- It helps to read through [this](https://community.graylog.org/t/how-to-post-a-question-in-the-community-that-gets-responses/20879) about asking questions in forums.
Generally people in the forums like helping others who have worked at the problem and are stumped … and share their settings… and share what they have tried to resolve the problem…

I followed up this link and try to fetch the details using api. And i also get the cluster information but didn’t get any specific api to get the logs from a particular source. Kindly guide me to get out of this.

A quick search of the forums found this post that might give you a start on how to build an API query for what you want.
