Hi Celeste, Thanks for pinging us about that! I noticed the edits endpoint has been updated to limit the date range to > about 367 days’ worth of data per request.
The limit on the time range length was placed on purpose to avoid receiving very long requests. Requests of several years worth of data can acquire too much of the API server power and block other requests. will I just have to request sequences of the shorter date ranges? Yes, please, sorry for the inconvenience! Cheers!
