Reading lists

Get recent changes to the lists

Returns metadata describing lists and entries which have changed. Might be truncated and include a continuation token.

Request must be authenticated with a MediaWiki session cookie.

For safe synchronization, the date parameter should be taken from the continue-from field of a previous GET /lists/ or GET /lists/changes/since/{date} request. This will ensure that no changes are skipped, at the cost of sometimes receiving the same change multitple times. Clients should handle changes in an idempotent way.
