Hello, @Somalia0932. The thing is, they're not really encrypted, they're Base64-encoded. You can literally access the data in the "Answer" field with any Base64 decoder you can find online. The data is also packed and possibly compressed to reduce the size of the query log files, but the format of querylog.json files isn't designed to be human readable anyway. Accessing query log data with third-party tools is beyond the scope of this project.
