Best way to log API calls that create records

Many of our records are created via an API call from an external source. Is there a way I can log those calls so I can see what was sent in via the API versus what is in the record now. I just want an irrefutable way to see what they are sending into the system.

I need to see all the data included in the POST.

~/custom/include/RestService.php ist an add-on file wich is called before the REST service functions are executed.

Code of ~/api/rest.php:

ob_start();
chdir(dirname(__FILE__).'/../');
define('ENTRY_POINT_TYPE', 'api');
require('include/entryPoint.php');
SugarAutoLoader::load('custom/include/RestService.php');
$restServiceClass = SugarAutoLoader::customClass('RestService');
global $service;
$service = new $restServiceClass();
$service->execute()
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
ob_start(); chdir(dirname(__FILE__).'/../'); define('ENTRY_POINT_TYPE', 'api'); require('include/entryPoint.php'); SugarAutoLoader::load('custom/include/RestService.php'); $restServiceClass = SugarAutoLoader::customClass('RestService'); global $service; $service = new $restServiceClass(); $service->execute()

So you can add logging of incoming data to such a custom file without touching the core files.

Oh I like this idea, might work better than the logic hook.
