Add modified+created date to Pages in API responses

[nathanvogel]

What's your feature/idea?

Hi,
We would like to have the date on which a document was last modified returned by the API. This is in order to build workflows to compute content freshness and ensure all pages are maintained.

What's your desired outcome?

I would be able to sync metadata to our task tracking tool, in which we can manage document freshness and ownership.

What's the impact of this for you?

• Critical
• High
• Medium
• Low

Anything else?

I'm rating the feature request as medium, but could be a deal breaker in the long run. Maintainability of docs is one of our main concerns and GitBook doesn't support this with features like Archbee's Document Verification

We would like to see this too for the same reason, to build a tracking tool to prevent content from going stale without having to manually maintain Last Modified dates.

Hi @outragedhuman and @nathanvogel - we are working on some solutions to help writers identify stale content and while API with created/modified isn't exactly part of the scope just yet we hope to have some exciting updates on this front in the coming months

Great, thanks!

Hi Both!

We shipped a change to the API yesterday, which now includes CreatedAT and UpdatedAT in the responses for change requests and pages.

Thank you so much! This looks like it's exactly what we needed, just working on hooking it up now. Much appreciate the quick turnaround.

Implemented successfully, our tracking spreadsheet now has Last Modified conditionally formatted so we can track content freshness with ease. WOOO 🥳

Note: "Page Not Found" for several entries because we're still building out content.
