Dropbox Paper API: document revision and access history?

Dropbox Paper API: document revision and access history?

Hi,

 

It would appear that it is currently not possible to retrieve Paper doc revision history metadata via the API.

Do you plan to expose this via the Paper API?

Perhaps not too dissimilar to the /list_revisions API, which works for Dropbox files.

My use cases are around capturing collaboration events as triggers. I'm sure there are others.

 

Thanks!

I can't promise if or when we'd release API functionality for that, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Hi!

I have this very use case for Paper API, I would like to automate the trigger of my internal workflow whenever a Paper file has been revised. If you can update us with the status of this feature request, that would be awesome 😄

@kevintriplett This hasn't been added for the legacy Paper API, but Dropbox is switching to storing Paper documents as files in the Dropbox filesystem. You can find more information on that migration here.

 

For files in the Dropbox filesystem, check out the Detecting Changes Guide or /2/files/list_revisions for listing revisions of a file.

Need more support?
