Wikipedia Page Watcher — Edit History Tracker

Track recent edits to any Wikipedia page: who made the change, when, how many bytes of text changed, and whether the edit summary looks like a revert or undo.

Built for PR, comms, and research teams watching a company, executive, or topic page for vandalism, edit wars, or someone quietly rewriting the narrative.

Input

{
  "pageTitle": "Tesla, Inc.",
  "language": "en",
  "daysBack": 30,
  "maxResults": 25
}

Field	Type	Description
pageTitle	string	Exact Wikipedia page title, e.g. "Tesla, Inc." or "Elon Musk". Check the URL after /wiki/ if unsure.
language	string	Wikipedia language edition code. Default "en".
daysBack	number	How many days back from today to search, by edit timestamp. Default 30, max 365.
maxResults	number	Max edits to return, most recent first. Default 25, max 100.

Output

One record per edit:

{
  "pageTitle": "Tesla, Inc.",
  "revisionId": 1368347298,
  "parentRevisionId": 1368346447,
  "user": "RickyCourtney",
  "isAnonymous": false,
  "isMinorEdit": false,
  "timestamp": "2026-08-08T14:48:25Z",
  "sizeBytes": 351876,
  "sizeChangeBytes": -113,
  "comment": "/* Automotive products */ The Cybercab is not yet offered/sold/produced beyond prototypes",
  "looksLikeRevert": false,
  "diffUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tesla%2C%20Inc.&diff=1368347298&oldid=1368346447"
}

isAnonymous is true when the edit was made by an IP address rather than a registered account — often worth a second look. looksLikeRevert is a simple keyword match on the edit summary (undo, undid, revert, rv), not an authoritative signal, but a fast way to spot edit wars in the list.

A page with no edits in the requested window returns no items but is still billed once for the search.

How it works

Direct calls to the official MediaWiki Action API (wikipedia.org/w/api.php) — no proxy, no key, no scraping. Wikipedia content and edit metadata are freely reusable under Wikimedia's terms.

Pricing note

Billed per search, not per edit returned — one charge whether the search returns 0 edits or 100.
