At present time, there is no way to do this with the API. It is an oft requested feature, but unfortunately, no one has gotten around to getting it implemented. In the meantime the only way to get diffs for a revision is to fetch the full page text of the revision and the previous revision and compare the two using GNU diff or a similar utility.
