The library logs useful debug information to the apify_client logger whenever it sends requests to the Apify API. You can configure this logger to print debug information to the standard output by adding a handler:

{LoggingConfigExample}

The log records include additional properties, provided via the extra argument, which can be helpful for debugging. Some of these properties are:

• attempt - Number of retry attempts for the request.
• status_code - HTTP status code of the response.
• url - URL of the API endpoint being called.
• client_method - Method name of the client that initiated the request.
• resource_id - Identifier of the resource being accessed.

To display these additional properties in the log output, you need to use a custom log formatter. Here's a basic example:

{LoggingFormatterExample}

For more information on creating and using custom log formatters, refer to the official Python logging documentation.
