# Query Event Monitoring Data with REST

Use the Query resource to retrieve field values from a record. Specify the fields you want to retrieve in the fields parameter and use the `GET` method of the resource.

You can use REST API to query event monitoring data. To retrieve event monitoring records based on `LogDate` and `EventType`, use a GET request like this:

```nolang
curl https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v68.0/query?q=SELECT+Id+,+EventType+,+LogFile+
,+LogDate+,+LogFileLength+FROM+EventLogFile+WHERE+
LogDate+>+Yesterday+AND+EventType+=+'API' -H "Authorization: Bearer token"
```

## Example raw response

```nolang

   "totalSize" : 4,
   "done" : true,
   "records" : [ {
