[OSM-newbies] osm history requests

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

Mohamed,

You have the correct format and that node does return history for me. As
Richard says maybe your method (browser?) is not displaying the source.

You cannot get edit history for a bounding box, nor can you request the
history for multiple items in the same API call.

Cheers

Andy
