In this version every change is one made in Alura (by someone in the app, an automation, or an AI optimization or creation applied there): history only, never revertable (`not_revertable_reason: legacy_app_write`). Not every Alura write is in it: Alura's A/B tests (their listing, inventory, photo and video changes) and the legacy app at app.alura.io (its edits, photos, videos, auto-renew and publishing) write to Etsy around the change log, so their changes can be missing. Edits made directly on Etsy, and by tools outside Alura, are not in it either. A change is shown under the shop its listing belongs to. A change outside the workspace is 404; an ID of another type (such as a `chg_` charge) is 400 `id_type_mismatch`. Costs 1 API credit per call. Cost: 1 API credit per call. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json get /v1/workspace/changes/{id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Alura API version: 1.0.0 description: Etsy market research for scripts and AI assistants. servers: - url: https://api.alura.io security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/workspace/changes/{id}: get: summary: Get a change description: >- One change Alura made to a listing of your connected Etsy shops, by its ID (`chn_...`): every field it changed, before and after.
