versions
before that don't not show anything.
When a relation is deleted, I should still get the base info with at
least <relation id="20773" visible="false", should I not?
Interestingly, when I go even further back, from 973 downwards it
works
again. I haven't tried everything betwee 973 and 1154.
I expect the missing versions were redacted as part of the license
change.
Can't the API give out some kind of information in such cases? An XML
message of some sort? Now you get nothing. For a user it might well be
that the api is malfunctioning. JOSM handles it with an error message
"Authorisation at the OSM server failed. The server reported the
following error: ' '".
Not really helpful.
I was led to understand that the info is still available, but with a
state "redacted" (similar to "deleted").
