Fetch Edits History using an API in OSv2

Is there an API available to retrieve the Edit History in OSv2? I’m aware that Action Logs can be enabled, but they are specific to individual actions. I’m specifically looking for a way to access the complete edit history as displayed in the native Edit History widget. Is that possible via an API?

Currently, the edit history widget doesn’t show the full history via code/API, and no API is available to fetch it.

As a workaround, open the action in the ontology → Capabilities tab → create Action Log objects. This will generate a log each time the action runs. You can also select specific properties to track, which will create a log-backed dataset you can use as an alternative.

Sorry for digging up the post, but I wanted to ask if this has changed? I want to be able to have some sort of global view on the edits history for a specific object type, so I dont even need the API per se… just some sort of access to the dataset storing the edits
