Scroll API Changes

Published May 19, 2026 | Last modified May 20, 2026

Objective

This guide presents reference information on migration for API calls to query access logs that will require search_after parameter to be set to true.

Current Approach

Use ves.io.schema.log.CustomAPI.AccessLogQueryV2 API to download logs with scroll parameter set to true. See, API Reference.

The response contains a scroll ID.

Scroll ID is passed to the subsequent Access Log Scroll Query to return the next set of logs.

Changes

A stateless way to use the APIs with the search_after parameter. It improves the performance of the log queries.

search_after parameter for access log queries where you can pass a list of sort values.

Note: March 2026 changes initiated.

Migrate to use search_after parameter for access logs.

Search_after Operation

"namespace": "string",

"query": "string",

"search_after": true,

"sort": "DESCENDING",

Response returns maximum of 500 records with 2 additional fields last_doc_id and last_timestamp.

"aggs": { },

"last_sort_values": {

"last_doc_id": 17777788899,

"last_timestamp": 63506060602

Use above last_doc_id and last_timestamp in your next request to get additional set of records.
