Confirmation of audit log

I'd like to check the audit log using python module.

 

TEAM_AUDIT_TOKEN = 'xxxxxxx'
dbx_team = dropbox.DropboxTeam(TEAM_AUDIT_TOKEN)
dbx_user = dbx_team.as_user("dbmid:xxxxxx")
end_time = dt.datetime.now()
start_time = end_time - dt.timedelta(hours=2)
check_times = dropbox.team_common.TimeRange(start_time,end_time)
res = dbx_user.team_log_get_events(
limit=None,
account_id=None,
time=check_times,
category=dropbox.team_log.EventCategory.logins)



It's possible to acquire below.

GetTeamEventsResult(events=None, cursor='xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, has_more=False)

I want you to tell me how log can be acquired after this.

    It looks like the issue is the timezone that datetime.now is using by default. When interacting with the API, you should use UTC. So, instead of:

     

    end_time = dt.datetime.now()

     

    you can use:

     

    end_time = dt.datetime.utcnow()

    Is time of the log record late for 24 hours?


    start_time = end_time - dt.timedelta(hours=33)

     

    (24 hours before, +JST-9:00)

     

    If it was changed, it could be acquired.

    I'm very thankful.

    Can the present designation audit log be acquired only after 24 hours?

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you elaborate? There shouldn't be any significant delay on the audit log, and you can request it whenever you want, for whatever time range you want.
