HTTP GET¶

Returns the last update made to the review request.

This shows the type of update that was made, the user who made the update, and when the update was made. Clients can use this to inform the user that the review request was updated, or automatically update it in the background.

This does not take into account changes to a draft review request, as that’s generally not update information that the owner of the draft is interested in. Only public updates are represented.
