Hi there,
You can use PRTG's API which allows you to export all Logs in JSON, XML or CSV:
https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/application_programming_interface_api_definition
To get the last 500 entries of your logs, please use this URL (it returns the data in JSON):
| /api/table.json?content=messages&columns=datetime,parent,type,name,status,message&sortby=date&count=500 |
If you want to use this API call unauthenticated (via a script) then you need to add credentials:

Best Regards
