# Get Application Logs

> Collect the latest 1000 lines of logs from your application. It has a rate limit of 1 request every 5 seconds.

<Warning>
  This endpoint is strictly rate limited. Exceeding **any** of the limits returns `429 Too Many Requests`:

  * **1 request every 5 seconds** per user, per application.
  * **20 requests every 10 seconds** per user across all applications, followed by a **30-second cooldown**.

  When you receive a `429`, stop polling that application and wait at least the cooldown (\~30 seconds) before retrying.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Use this endpoint only for a **point-in-time snapshot** of logs (opening the logs tab or a manual refresh). For **live, continuous logs**, use the [Real-time Logs](/en/api-reference/endpoint/apps/realtime) (SSE) endpoint, which streams logs in real time without hitting this rate limit.
