# Get Event Monitoring Content from a Record

Use the sObject Blob Retrieve resource to retrieve BLOB data for a given record.

## Example

You can use REST API to retrieve BLOB data for event monitoring. Use a GET request similar to this:

```nolang
curl https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v68.0/sobjects/EventLogFile/0ATD000000000pyOAA/LogFile -H "Authorization: Bearer token"
```


## Example response body

Event monitoring content is returned in binary form. Note that the response content type won’t be JSON or XML because the returned data is binary.

```nolang
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 06 Aug 2013 16:46:10 GMT
