How to retrieve recent updates/contributions via API?

Hi @roovy ,

@roovy

The only two issues I seem to find is that it doesn’t show the username or user ID of who actually made the contribution which defeats the purpose.

You can use the expand query parameters. For your use case you might want to expand history.lastUpdated but feel free to check out all the other possible values in the docs to get the information you need.

Secondly, and albeit slightly less important, it only seems to find pages that were updated. However, in the “recently updated” section, it shows things like attaching a photo as a separate line item contribution.

Here, you just need to update the CQL and add attachment - something like type IN (page,blogpost,attachment). If you’re also interested with comments then add comment too.

Cheers,
Ian
