List File Versions

List the versions of a file, newest first by default. Each write that changes the bytes records one; identical rewrites do not. Collaborative edits, and repeated workflow writes by one author, fold into a version under ten minutes old and written in the last five. Renames and moves are not versions. Retention removes older versions by age and plan but keeps the newest ten, so numbers can have gaps.

OAuth scope: api:read.

GET/api/v2/files/{fileId}/versions
X-API-Key<token>

Your Sim API key, personal or workspace-scoped. Generate one under Settings, then API Keys. Operations that reject workspace keys say so in their own description.
