Output shape

a single record containing the asset's history information as returned by the WoodWing Assets Server API

The output JSON includes history records possibly paginated using 'start' and 'num' parameters and filtered according to the requested detail level or custom actions. If 'Pass Through Binary Data' is enabled and binary data exists on input, it will be preserved in the output.

Examples

Set 'Authentication Method' to 'Login and Get History', provide asset ID, set 'Detail Level' to 1, and set 'Number of Hits' to 10.
