The user's account id is actually called "extension", and it is in the uri for every record in your call log response. For example:
"uri" : "https://platform.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/123887456789/extension/987654321/call-log/V3zJdJQ_ui1h0B1?view=Simple"
Automation USA is correct. "account" is for organization, "extension" is for users in that organization.
Hmm, must be something with the endpoint I used, here's the uri from the response using simple view:
https://platform.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/589093020/call-log/Sx5oSBhV-5IA0w?view=SimpleNo extension id.
Thank you both for the help.
I think I figured out my issue. I used the account endpoint without the extension id. I did this because when I used extension with ~ I only received my own calls and not all the users. I believe this is because I did not request the accountextension resource. Since it won't let me add additional resources, I'll start an app from scratch with the added resources, re submit the sandbox requirements, and request access to production again.
Then, I think I should be able to get a list of extension ids, and then submit individual requests for each of those extension ids.
"~" is for current user only.
You can /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension to list all the users, then fetch call logs for each user.
Follow up question: I was successfully able to get all my calls back and tie them back to the user, but I have some calls that show up in the data that I pulled from the api that do not show when I export a report from the web gui interface.
Is this normal? I'm wondering if there are any default filters on those reports.
example: r=rc.get('/restapi/v1.0/account/589093020/extension/499273028/call-log/FXwWb0gHm0z2sq4?view=Detailed')
I have no experience with the web gui. For the API, you can check the docs:
https://developer.ringcentral.com/api-docs/latest/index.html#!#RefGetExtensionCallLog The query parameters are the available filters.
It is possible that web gui has some default filers such as direction, dateFrom...etc. You can post a question here:

Understood. Yep, I read the whole api reference before asking the question. From looking on the forum it seems like it is a known issue, so I'll move forward with just trusting the data from the api over the interface.
