Example: Parse nginx access log

curl --request POST \
  --url https://hefftools.dev/api/v1/logs/parse \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-RapidAPI-Key: <your-rapidapi-key>' \
  --data '{
    "log_type": "nginx_access",
    "line": "127.0.0.1 - - [30/Nov/2025:12:34:56 +0000] \"GET / HTTP/1.1\" 200 612 \"-\" \"curl/7.81.0\""
  }'
