### `APILogHandler` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/logging/handlers.py#L114" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

A logging handler that sends logs to the Prefect API.

Sends log records to the `APILogWorker` which manages sending batches of logs in
the background.

**Methods:**

#### `aflush` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/logging/handlers.py#L149" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
aflush(cls) -> None
```

Tell the `APILogWorker` to send any currently enqueued logs and block until
completion.

#### `emit` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/logging/handlers.py#L159" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
emit(self, record: logging.LogRecord) -> None
```

Send a log to the `APILogWorker`

#### `flush` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/logging/handlers.py#L122" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
flush(self) -> None
```

Tell the `APILogWorker` to send any currently enqueued logs and block until
completion.

Use `aflush` from async contexts instead.

#### `handleError` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/logging/handlers.py#L177" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
handleError(self, record: logging.LogRecord) -> None
```

#### `prepare` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/logging/handlers.py#L200" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
prepare(self, record: logging.LogRecord) -> Dict[str, Any]
```

Convert a `logging.LogRecord` to the API `LogCreate` schema and serialize.

This infers the linked flow or task run from the log record or the current
run context.

If a flow run id cannot be found, the log will be dropped.

Logs exceeding the maximum size will be dropped.

### `WorkerAPILogHandler` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/logging/handlers.py#L289" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
