Hello, Im really sorry if my question bother, I never coded before. I’m using this code because I put an Airtag on my bike and it was stolen but I don’t precisely know when. It works perfectly for me, but I would like to know if it’s possible to find the logs of before you create the code on your Mac, and find at least the day when my bike changed country (it was at least a month ago). If yes, Is it possible to explain it to me ? Thank you for your time ! (and sorry if my english is poor)

I didn't write the code or look at it but from what I've read you can't do this and you need to have the program running and can't access the logs before you started it.

Neither Apple nor your personal devices store the history of AirTags or any FindMy items. The only way to obtain the history is to log the current locations as they're updated in the FindMy app. So if this FindMyHistory program was not running, there is no way to access previous location information for an AirTag.

A quick side note: You may have seen an "AirTag Found Moving With You" notification on an iPhone. Upon clicking the notification you're able to see a map of the AirTag's location history. This is just the location history of your iPhone since the AirTag was detected moving with your iPhone. It's unrelated to the location updates of the AirTags associated with your personal Apple account. For more information, see here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212227
