Documented steps
Get a Vercel access token (Bearer) — from a token created in Account > Tokens or an integration call.
Identify the deployment by its id or hostname (idOrUrl).
GET https://api.vercel.com/v3/deployments/{idOrUrl}/events with `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.
Add query params as needed: `limit` (max events; -1 returns all available), `direction` (forward/backward), `since`/`until` (epoch ms), `name` (build id).
Response is an array of event objects; filter `type` for stdout/stderr/command/exit to see build output lines.
Known gotchas
This endpoint returns BUILD logs only, not runtime logs. For runtime/application logs programmatically, Vercel has no direct REST endpoint — use Log Drains (Pro/Enterprise) to export runtime logs to an external service.
Auth is a bearer token; 401/403 if the token lacks project/team access. For team-owned deployments pass `teamId` or `slug`.
`follow=1` streams live events as they happen; without it you get a snapshot back to `since`.
