Re: [O] How do you get the LOGBOOK information from the current heading at point?

[John Kitchin]

I think something like this is what you are looking for:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun get-clock-lines ()
  "Return org-element representations of clock lines in a logbook drawer."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (org-log-beginning))
    (let ((logbook (org-element-at-point))
          (clock-entries '())
          (current-element))
      (goto-char (org-element-property :contents-begin logbook))
      (setq current-element (org-element-at-point))
      (while (eq 'clock (car current-element))
        (push current-element clock-entries)
        (forward-line)
        (setq current-element (org-element-at-point)))
      (reverse clock-entries))))

(get-clock-lines)
#+END_SRC
