Feature Request "GetRevision" Op

[Eric G.]

Hi,

I am trying to make an API call to get a specific revision of a page.

For example, I can use the GetPage operation to get the latest version
of a page, like so:
http://englishdca.pbworks.com/api_v2/op/GetPage/page/SideBar/verbose/false/_type/text

How could I use the API to get the revision '1210989902 ' of the page
'Sidebar'?

There doesn't seem to be a way to call the API to do this, yet I know
that you can view history through the PBwiki user interface like so:
http://englishdca.pbworks.com/w/page/19058795/SideBar?rev=1210989902

Might there be a GetRevision operation in the future?

Thanks,

Eric

After today's deploy (between 2 and 5 pm Pacific Time), the GetPage
operation will accept an optional 'revision' parameter.

The API documentation will also be updated as part of the deploy:

Would it also be possible to have the GetPage op output the user id of
the user that committed the revision?

Thanks Again,

Eric

That was quick! It works for me (http://englishdca.pbworks.com/api_v2/
op/GetPage/page/SideBar/revision/1213823300/verbose/false/_type/text).

Thank you!

Hi Eric,

Did you try calling the page number instead of the page name?

GetPage/page/1210989902

Please post back if it works for you this way.

Cheers,
WW

If you specify 'verbose' = 'true' as an optional parameter for
GetPageRevisions, it includes a bunch of additional information about
each revision.

See the documentation here: http://secure.pbworks.com/api_v2?q=GetPageRevisions
