record-api-request
==================

[](#record-api-request)

A Laravel package for recording API requests via middleware, with a built-in dashboard endpoint for browsing them.

Each request that passes through the middleware is persisted with its timestamp (to millisecond precision), path, status, response time, response length, IP, authenticated user, query string, and user agent. A paginated, sortable listing endpoint is registered at `GET /api-requests`.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP `^8.3`
- Laravel `^11.0 || ^12.0`
- The dashboard endpoint defaults to being protected by [Laravel Sanctum](https://laravel.com/docs/sanctum) with an `access-api-requests` token ability. The middleware stack is configurable — see [Configuring the dashboard endpoint](#configuring-the-dashboard-endpoint) if you use a different auth driver.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require mahbubhelal/record-api-request
```

Publish and run the migration:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=record-api-request-migrations
php artisan migrate
```

Optionally publish the config file if you want to customise the dashboard route path or middleware stack:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=record-api-request-config
```

Recording requests
------------------

[](#recording-requests)

Apply the `RecordApiRequest` middleware to the routes you want to track. The middleware records the request during Laravel's `terminate` phase, so it does not add latency to the response.

For example, to track every route in your `api` group, add it to `bootstrap/app.php`:

```
use Mahbub\RecordApiRequest\Http\Middleware\RecordApiRequest;

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    $middleware->api(append: [
        RecordApiRequest::class,
    ]);
})
```

Or attach it to individual routes:

```
Route::middleware(RecordApiRequest::class)->get('/orders', ...);
```

Viewing recorded requests
-------------------------

[](#viewing-recorded-requests)

The package registers `GET /api-requests` behind `auth:sanctum` and `ability:access-api-requests` by default. Issue a Sanctum token with that ability to the users who should be allowed to view the dashboard:

```
$token = $user->createToken('dashboard', ['access-api-requests']);
```

### Configuring the dashboard endpoint

[](#configuring-the-dashboard-endpoint)

The middleware stack and route path are driven by `config/record-api-request.php`:

```
return [
    'route' => [
        'path' => 'api-requests',
        'middleware' => [
            'api',
            'auth:sanctum',
            'ability:access-api-requests',
        ],
    ],
];
```

Replace `middleware` with whatever stack fits your app (e.g. `['web', 'auth']` for a session-authenticated dashboard, or a custom gate middleware) and set `path` if you want to mount the endpoint somewhere other than `/api-requests`.

### Query parameters

[](#query-parameters)

ParameterDescription`sort`Sort field. Prefix with `-` for descending. Allowed: `time`, `status`, `responseTime`, `responseLength`. Defaults to `-time`.`perPage`Page size. Defaults to `15`.`page`Page number. Defaults to `1`.### Response shape

[](#response-shape)

```
{
    "data": {
        "amountPerPage": 15,
        "page": 1,
        "totalAmount": 120,
        "totalPages": 8,

                "status": 200,
                "responeTime": "42ms",
                "responseLength": "1.2kB",
                "ip": "203.0.113.7",
                "user": "Ada Lovelace (ada@example.com)",
                "url": "https://example.test/api/orders?status=active",
                "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 ..."
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

Development
-----------

[](#development)
