restore version on a list item in REST API

Question

I need to iterate through a list and go to each version history and restore a certain version.. I am doing all of this with MS FLOW.

I am trying to get the restoreVersion working like Restore a previous version of a ListItem

I am using this on MS FLOW to get the item to restore and i keep getting an 404 error, any idea whats wrong ?

What is an error message? Are you passing correct version-id? — Ganesh Sanap, Aug 20 '19 at 10:50

You are not passing version ID in your REST endpoint, you are passing VersionLabel.

To check the correct version ID of your list item, use below URL:

siteUrl/_api/web/Lists/getbytitle('ListName')/items(itemId)/versions

And search for VersionId. It will give you the correct version ID of list item.

I have enabled the versioning on my list and it is creating a major version each time the item is edited.

So, for VersionLabel = 1.0, VersionId is 512 and for VersionLabel = '2.0, VersionId is 1024.

What error are you getting now? Is there any additional error text you can provide? Also, try doing the same using JavaScript/JQuery(Ajax or something) REST API instead of Flow to check if it works or not. – Ganesh Sanap Aug 21 '19 at 9:51
