# Get a log

> Retrieve a specific log entry by its ID

## Overview

The `get()` and `aget()` methods allow you to retrieve a specific log entry using its unique identifier. Use `get()` for synchronous operations and `aget()` for asynchronous operations.

## Usage example

```python theme={"system"}
from keywordsai.logs.api import LogAPI
import asyncio

# Create the client
log_api_client = LogAPI()

# Synchronous example
log = log_api_client.get("log_123456789")
print(f"Log ID: {log.id}")
print(f"Model: {log.model}")
print(f"Total tokens: {log.total_tokens}")

# Asynchronous example
async def get_log_async():
    log = await log_api_client.aget("log_123456789")
    print(f"Log ID: {log.id}")
    print(f"Model: {log.model}")
    print(f"Total tokens: {log.total_tokens}")

# Run the async function
asyncio.run(get_log_async())
```

## Parameters

<ParamField path="log_id" type="string" required>
  The unique identifier of the log entry to retrieve.
</ParamField>

## Returns

Returns a `Log` object with the following structure:

```python theme={"system"}
{
    "id": "log_123456789",
    "unique_id": "unique_123",
    "model": "gpt-4",
    "messages": [
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi there!"}
    ],
    "prompt_tokens": 10,
    "completion_tokens": 15,
    "total_tokens": 25,
    "cost": 0.0005,
    "latency": 1.2,
    "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
    "metadata": {...}
}
```

## Examples

### Basic Synchronous Example

```python theme={"system"}
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from keywordsai.logs.api import LogAPI

load_dotenv()

def get_log_sync():
    """Basic synchronous log retrieval"""
    api_key = os.getenv("KEYWORDS_AI_API_KEY")
    log_api_client = LogAPI(api_key=api_key)
    
    try:
        log = log_api_client.get("log_123456789")
        print(f"✓ Retrieved log: {log.id}")
        print(f"Model: {log.model}")
        print(f"Total tokens: {log.total_tokens}")
        print(f"Cost: ${log.cost:.4f}")
        
        # Access conversation messages
        for message in log.messages:
            role = message["role"].capitalize()
            content = message["content"][:100] + "..." if len(message["content"]) > 100 else message["content"]
            print(f"{role}: {content}")
            
        return log
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Error: {e}")
        return None

# Usage
get_log_sync()
```

### Asynchronous Example

```python theme={"system"}
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from keywordsai.logs.api import LogAPI

load_dotenv()

async def get_log_async():
    """Asynchronous log retrieval"""
    api_key = os.getenv("KEYWORDS_AI_API_KEY")
    log_api_client = LogAPI(api_key=api_key)
    
    try:
        log = await log_api_client.aget("log_123456789")
        print(f"✓ Async retrieved log: {log.id}")
        print(f"Model: {log.model}")
        print(f"Total tokens: {log.total_tokens}")
        print(f"Cost: ${log.cost:.4f}")
        
        # Access metadata if available
        if log.metadata:
            print("Metadata:")
            for key, value in log.metadata.items():
                print(f"  {key}: {value}")
                
        return log
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Async error: {e}")
        return None

# Usage
asyncio.run(get_log_async())
```

### Batch Retrieval

```python theme={"system"}
def get_multiple_logs(log_ids):
    """Retrieve multiple logs"""
    api_key = os.getenv("KEYWORDS_AI_API_KEY")
    log_api_client = LogAPI(api_key=api_key)
    
    logs = []
    for log_id in log_ids:
        try:
            log = log_api_client.get(log_id)
            logs.append(log)
            print(f"✓ Retrieved log: {log.id}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"✗ Failed to retrieve {log_id}: {e}")
    
    return logs

# Usage
log_ids = ["log_123", "log_456", "log_789"]
logs = get_multiple_logs(log_ids)
print(f"Retrieved {len(logs)} out of {len(log_ids)} logs")
```

## Convenience Functions

You can also use the convenience function to create a LogAPI client:

```python theme={"system"}
from keywordsai import create_log_client

client = create_log_client(api_key="your-api-key")
log = client.get("log_123456789")
```
