# Retrieve all recent access attempts

## API Overview

IP access management allows you to control which IP addresses can access your account. You can use either the Console or the API.

Twilio SendGrid limits the number of allowed IP addresses to `1000`.

> \[!CAUTION]
>
> The list of the allowed IP addresses doesn't include your IP address without your action. You *can* remove from your IP address from the list of allowed IP addresses and block your access to your account. While Twilio can restore your access, this requires thorough proof of your identity and ownership of your account.
>
> To prevent the accidental removal of your IP address from the allowed addresses, the Console displays your IP address in the **Add IP Addresses** pane.

To learn more, see [IP access management](/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/ip-access-management/).

## Operation overview

```json
{"path":"https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/access_settings/activity","method":"get","servers":[{"url":"https://api.sendgrid.com","description":"for global users and subusers"},{"url":"https://api.eu.sendgrid.com","description":"for EU regional subusers"}]}
```

**This endpoint allows you to retrieve a list of all of the IP addresses that recently attempted to access your account either through the User Interface or the API.**
