## Response
|
|
|
|
#### Return values
|
|
|
|
* `message_history`: a chronologically sorted array of `snapshot` objects,
|
|
containing the modified state of the message before and after the edit:
|
|
* `topic`: the topic for the message.
|
|
* `content`: the body of the message.
|
|
* `rendered_content`: the already rendered, HTML version of `content`.
|
|
* `prev_content`: the body of the message before being edited.
|
|
* `prev_rendered_content`: the already rendered, HTML version of
|
|
`prev_content`.
|
|
* `user_id`: the ID of the user that made the edit.
|
|
* `content_html_diff`: an HTML diff between this version of the message
|
|
and the previous one.
|
|
* `timestamp`: the UNIX timestamp for this editi.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the original message's snapshot only contains the fields
|
|
`topic`, `content`, `rendered_content`, `timestamp` and `user_id`. This
|
|
snapshot will be the only one present if the message has never been edited.
|
|
|
|
Also note that if a message's content was edited (but not the topic)
|
|
or the topic was edited (but not the content), the snapshot object
|
|
will only contain data for the modified fields (e.g. if only the topic
|
|
was edited, `prev_content`, `prev_rendered_content`, and
|
|
`content_html_diff` will not appear).
|
|
