6969 To retrieve message bodies and file contents, use the chat, message, and file endpoints with a Compliance Access Key carrying `read:compliance_user_data`. The same key and scope retrieve transcripts of sessions on users' machines (such as Cowork and Claude Code sessions) through the [local session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-local-sessions), and transcripts of Cowork sessions in the cloud through the [remote session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-remote-sessions). These endpoints serve Claude Enterprise content only; Claude Console workloads, and Claude API workloads authenticated with an API key, expose administrative and resource events through the Activity Feed but do not expose prompt text or model responses through the Compliance API.

72 <Accordion title="Do Cowork, Claude Code, Claude Science, Claude for Microsoft 365, and Claude in Chrome sessions appear in the Compliance API?">
73 Yes. Cowork sessions in Claude Desktop that run on users' machines, Claude Code sessions (in the terminal, in Claude Desktop, or in an IDE extension), sessions in the Claude Science desktop app, Claude for Microsoft 365 sessions (in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook), and chats in the Claude in Chrome browser extension are captured while users are signed in with their Claude Enterprise account and are available through the [local session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-local-sessions). Cowork sessions started on claude.ai web or mobile, which run in the cloud in Anthropic-managed environments, are available through the [remote session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-remote-sessions). Each family has a list endpoint that returns session metadata and a messages endpoint that returns the session transcript (user prompts, assistant responses, and tool calls and results). The local family adds a third endpoint that retrieves one session's metadata. All of these endpoints use your existing Compliance Access Key with `read:compliance_user_data`; no new key or scope is needed.

73 Yes. Cowork sessions in Claude Desktop that run on users' machines, Claude Code sessions (in the terminal, in Claude Desktop, or in an IDE extension), sessions in the Claude Science desktop app, Claude for Microsoft 365 sessions (in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook), chats in the Claude in Chrome browser extension, and sessions in the Claude add-ins for Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides are captured while users are signed in with their Claude Enterprise account and are available through the [local session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-local-sessions).

7575 Local sessions are captured as their requests reach the Claude API, so nothing is installed on the device, and on-device activity that never reaches the API is not captured. Claude Code sessions authenticated with a Claude Console API key, Claude Code sessions run through a third-party cloud platform (Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Foundry), and [Claude Code cloud sessions](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web), which run on cloud infrastructure instead of the user's machine, are not captured. These cloud sessions are not remote sessions, even though both run in the cloud; the remote session endpoints return Cowork sessions only. Each run of a Cowork scheduled task in the cloud is a remote session: the remote session list endpoint returns it as an [agent-owned session](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-remote-sessions) (`agent_id` is set, and `started_by_user` identifies the human who initiated the run), and the messages endpoint returns its transcript, but neither returns the task's name or schedule. Claude Code routines that run in the cloud are Claude Code cloud sessions, so the session endpoints do not return them. Organizations with [HIPAA readiness](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/api-and-data-retention#hipaa-readiness) enabled get local session data for Cowork and Claude Code only, stored for 30 days, and sessions for which [zero data retention (ZDR)](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/api-and-data-retention#zero-data-retention-zdr-scope) is in effect are excluded.
