POST request to update the notification timestamp for watched pages.
API documentation
Eksempler
Making any POST request is a multi-step process:
- Log in, via one of the methods described on API:Login.
- GET an edit/CSRF token as shown here API:Tokens.
- Send a POST request, with the CSRF token, to reset the notification status for an entire watchlist.
The sample codes below cover these steps.

Additional notes
- Each user and watched page is associated with a single notification timestamp.
- For the purposes of the watchlist, any revisions of that page with a timestamp earlier than the notification timestamp are considered seen.
- Revisions which are later or equal to the timestamp are considered unseen. Thus, posting to
setnotificationtimestampwithtorevid=123(or, equivalently, with thetimestampparameter set to the timestamp of revision 123) will mark revisions earlier than 123 as seen, but will not mark revision 123 itself as seen. Usingnewerthanrevid=123will mark 123 and all earlier revisions as seen.
