Response

The method's paginated response contains a list of access log entries. Each item in the logins array represents a number of possible user interactions, collated by the user, IP address, and user agent combination. These include actual logins as well as other API calls that are typically made when accessing Slack.

This response demonstrates pagination and two access log entries.

A workspace must be on a paid plan to use this method, otherwise the paid_only error is thrown:

{
    "ok": false,
    "error": "paid_only"
}

Each access log entry contains the user id and username that accessed Slack.

date_first is a unix timestamp of the first access log entry for this user, IP address, and user agent combination.

date_last is the most recent for that combination.

count is the total number of access log entries for that combination.

ip is the IP address of the device used.

user_agent is the reported user agent string from the browser or client application.

isp is our best guess at the internet service provider owning the IP address.

country and region are also our best guesses on where the access originated, based on the IP address.

Pagination

The paging information contains the count of items returned, the total number of items reacted to, the page of results returned in this response and the total number of pages available. Please note that the max count value is 1000 and the max page value is 100.

This method does not yet support cursored pagination.

Warnings

This table lists the expected warnings that this method will return. However, other warnings can be returned in the case where the service is experiencing unexpected trouble.

Warning	Description
`missing_charset`	The method was called via a `POST` request, and recommended practice for the specified `Content-Type` is to include a `charset` parameter. However, no `charset` was present. Specifically, non-form-data content types (e.g. `text/plain`) are the ones for which `charset` is recommended.
`superfluous_charset`	The method was called via a `POST` request, and the specified `Content-Type` is not defined to understand the `charset` parameter. However, `charset` was in fact present. Specifically, form-data content types (e.g. `multipart/form-data`) are the ones for which `charset` is superfluous.
