One of our most requested developer tools is now available in beta! Our new **API Logs** tool lets you validate your integrations with Square APIs early in your building process. After you launch your app, it provides an audit trail of API usage that enables monitoring and simplifies debugging of payload issues. From within API logs, you can also track versions of Square APIs, SDKs, and keys, so it is easier to identify when it’s time for an update. Get started [here.](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/get-started#step-4-view-the-transaction-in-the-api-logs-beta)
