# Querying Email Routing events with GraphQL

This example uses the GraphQL Analytics API to query for Email Routing events over a specified time period.

## Activiy Logs API Call

The following API call will request Email Routing activity logs over a one day period, and output the requested fields. Be sure to replace `<CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_TAG>` and `<API_TOKEN>`[1](#user-content-fn-1) with your zone tag and API credentials, and adjust the `datetime_geg` and `datetime_leq` values as required.

Terminal window

```

echo '{ "query":

  "query EmailRoutingActivity($zoneTag: string, $filter: EmailRoutingAdaptiveFilter_InputObject) {

    viewer {

      zones(filter: { zoneTag: $zoneTag }) {

        emailRoutingAdaptive(

          filter: $filter

          limit: 3

          orderBy: [datetime_DESC]

        ) {

          datetime

          id: sessionId
