I saw this other post asking if it's possible to get a list of all old UIDs for a given document. The response said no. It's not clear to me whether that post was to do with the old API or the GraphQL API. Ideally I'd want to do this with the GraphQL API. Is there any way to do it? I want to have t…

where are we on this? we still need to create redirects at build time for static sites. without the uid history we can't do it and we are underperforming worst, we can't easily maintain our website; we need to be able to change urls and generate redirects automatically, we can't maintain something …

It basically involves running the query live if the UID is not in the static list, it search…

That's what I was saying in my original post of this thread was the only current option I could find.
