Recently modified pages

Build a collection of recently modified pages

Create a collection of DekiScript page objects that represent recently modified pages.There are different ways to build this collection depending on your needs:

// the top 10 most recently modified pages for the entire site
var pages = wiki.getpagestrendstats('', 10, true).recentlyupdated;

 OR

// top 20 most recently modified pages for a specific guide or category
var pages = wiki.getpagestrendstats('Documentation/Scripting', 20, true).recentlyupdated;

OR

// top 5 most recently modified pages for a specific page and its immediate sub-pages only
var pages = wiki.getpagestrendstats('Documentation', 5, false).recentlyupdated;

To build a collection of recently created pages, replace recentlyupdated with recentlyadded in the DekiScript code block like this:

// top 10 most recently created pages for a specific page and its immediate sub-pages only
var pages = wiki.getpagestrendstats('Documentation', 10, false).recentlyadded;

Create a recently created / modified pages document

Iterating over the collection of DekiScript page objects allows a developer to render page metadata in markup. Since you are fetching this content via an API, it does not need to necessarily be valid HTML.

The following code example will create a recently modified pages document. To create a document of recently added pages, replace <modified> and </modified> with <added> and </added>, respectively:

<pages>
foreach(var page in pages) {
    <page id=(page.id)>
        <title>page.title</title>
        <path>page.path</path>
        <uri>page.uri</uri>
        <modified>page.date</modified>
        
        // ... more data is available in the page object. use only what you need however, fetching tags, properties, or
        // any other property whose value is preceded with $get_ will have to go back to a data source to fetch that
        // information. fetching more data than is absolutely necessary will have adverse effects on this solution's
        // performance
    </page>
}
</pages>

Fetch the recently modified pages document

Wherever you ultimately place this code on your domain, grab the URL path ({scheme}://{domain}/{path}), double URL encode it, and use the page contents API to fetch it like so from your domain: {scheme}://{domain}/@api/deki/pages/={path}/contents?format=xhtml.

Without the format query parameter set, the content will be HTML entity encoded. Try the request with and without the format query parameter to determine which you prefer for consumption. With the format query parameter set to xhtml, the output of the above example looks like:

Without the format query parameter set, the above example looks like:
