Hello,
I want to build an application that I can use in the morning to scan all the errors that have occurred during that night. Is there an API call that I can use which will give me the data shown in https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/logs?
PRTG HTTP api - get log of alerts

You can do this fairly easily with PrtgAPI, using either C# or PowerShell
The following shows the basic usage using PowerShell
C:\> Get-ObjectLog -Status Down DateTime Id Name Device Status Message -------- -- ---- ------ ------ ------- 20/03/2019 7:50:16 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 92 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 7:50:16 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 92 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 7:49:51 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 93 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 7:47:00 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 93 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 7:46:50 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 97 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 7:46:16 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 93 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 6:13:54 PM 2036 Ping 8.8.8.8 Down Destination network unrea... 20/03/2019 6:13:33 PM 2036 Ping 8.8.8.8 Down Destination network unrea... 20/03/2019 6:13:24 PM 2036 Ping 8.8.8.8 Down Destination network unrea... 20/03/2019 5:50:16 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 93 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 5:50:16 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 93 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 5:49:44 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 92 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 5:23:00 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 100 % (Total) is above th... 20/03/2019 5:22:44 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 94 % (Total) is above the... 20/03/2019 5:22:16 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 100 % (Total) is above th... 20/03/2019 5:11:00 PM 2286 CPU Load exch-1 Down 92 % (Total) is above the... ...
You can specify a start and end range for your query, then group by ID to get a list of unique events
# Get all alerts that occurred in the last 24 hours
C:\> Get-ObjectLog -status Down -EndDate (get-date).adddays(-1) | group Id
Count Name Group

Based on your requirements, this could simply be a one liner (with the end date simply being 5pm yesterday, etc) or you could wrap this up in a slightly more advanced application, potentially sending you an automated report, etc
