# Retrieve method history

Retrieve historical changes on a given method.

**URL**: `/classes/{name}/methods/{selector}/history`

**Method**: `GET`

## Success Responses

**Code** : `200 OK`

**Content**: `[change]` where `change` can be one of the following:

```json
{
	"type": "AddMethod",
	"label": "string",
	"package": "string",
	"timestamp": "string",
	"author": "string",
	"sourceCode": "string",
	"changesSomething": "boolean",
	"canBeApplied": "boolean",
	"className": "string",
	"selector": "string",
	"category": "string"
}
```

Note that `type` is always `AddMethod` as these are the changes that can be retrieved from a given method.

**Example:**: retrieve history of `methodHistory` in `WebsideAPI`.

        "type": "AddMethod",
