I am wondering if there is a way to view each version of a keyword via the API.

I see that the Concepts route in the API supports a `version` query param (https://wiki.earthdata.nasa.gov/display/ED/KMS+User%27s+Guide#KMSUser'sGuide-2.2ConceptResource). I would expect this to return the properties of the keyword for the provided version, but it seems that setting that query param only modifies the value of `<keywordVersion>` in the response, while the rest of the data stays the same, regardless of which version is specified.

For example, "NASA/JPL/EMIT > Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA" was updated in version 14.7, but if I request version 14.6 (https://gcmd.earthdata.nasa.gov/kms/concept/2180640a-ec49-4a1a-a063-460fcdb587a6?format=xml&version=14.6), the response body is the same as if I specify 14.7 or don't specify a version.

Am I providing the wrong value to `version` or is this the expected behavior?

Thanks!

Hi Ed, I think the issue was with the keyword cache. I cleared the cache and I can now see the difference between the two keywords. The cache helps make the query faster, but sometimes it doesn't clear and you have to do it manually.

Thanks very much, Scott. That looks like it's working.

I was also curious about retrieving a list of the keyword changes published with a given Concept Version. I didn't see an endpoint for that in the docs, but I'm wondering if there's a param I can pass to the Concept Version endpoint or some other way of retrieving it.

Thanks again,
Ed

Hi Ed, unfortunately there isn't an endpoint that returns what changed for a given Concept Version. We publish manually created keyword change announcements for each release at https://wiki.earthdata.nasa.gov/display/ED/Keyword+Release+Announcements

Ok, thanks very much, Scott. I appreciate the quick responses.
