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
