Consider deprecating old api API

**Feature request**
It would be great to have logging for api.

**Use case**
Many users need this functionality for production deployments.

**Implementation idea**
Add a new config option `enable_logging` with default `false`.

Start by locating the API handling and configuration entry points in the repository, then check how existing options and logging are implemented. Confirm the intended relationship between the title's API deprecation request and the body’s logging request; done should include a documented `enable_logging` option with a default of `false` and verified logging behavior.
