Overview

There are two types of history asset lists, one used for adding/modiyfing/verifying history, and the other for deleting history.

The history list used for operations other than delete has the following properties:

• uri: required.
• title: optional. The page title for this uri.
• visits: required. An array of objects representing visits to the page, each object has the following properties:
  • type: required. An integer value from one of the transition types listed at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsINavHistoryService#Constants.
  • date: required. An integer representing when the visit took place, expressed in hours from the present. For example, 0 is now, -24 is 24 hours in the past.

For example:

 "history1": [
   { "uri": "http://www.google.com/", "title": "Google", 
     "visits": [
       { "type": 1, "date": 0 },
       { "type": 2, "date": -1 } ] },
   { "uri": "http://www.cnn.com/", "title": "CNN", 
     "visits": [
       { "type": 1, "date": -1 },
       { "type": 2, "date": -36 } ] }
 ]

The history list used for deletions looks different. It's an array of objects, each of which represents a type of history to delete. There are three different types:

• to delete all references to a specific page from history, use an object with a uri property
• to delete all references to all pages from a specific host, use an object with a host property
• to delete all history in a certain time period, use an object with begin and end properties, which should have integer values that express time since the present in hours (see date above)

For example:

 "history-to-delete": [
   { "uri": "http://www.cnn.com/" },
   { "begin": -24, "end": -1 },
   { "host": "www.google.com" }
 ]

Actions

History can only be added, verified, and deleted by CrossWeave. There is no support for modifying existing history entries.
