API to get Wikipedia revision id by date [closed]

问题:

Is there any API to get wikipedia revision id by date, instead of checking all the revision history and extract out the most recent revision before that date?

Thank you!

回答1:

The revision query api allows you to pass timestamps to get only revisions from a specified interval. Use

api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvlimit=1&rvstart= myTimestamp

Check out the Manual:WfTimestamp for accepted formats - yyyymmddhhmmss always works.

Building on the previous answer: The always accepted format yyyymmddhhmmss returned errors. This example returned a valid response:

JSON

XML

The id in field revid contains the id previous to the date passed in param rvstart:

Revision id
