Created by and last edited by properties in Block, Page and Database objects

[KoditkarVedant]

Notion has added created_by and last_edited_by properties for block, page and database objects corresponding to the users who have created or last edited these objects. Both properties are user objects which will contain object and id keys.

This is a backwards compatible change that is available in older versions of the API as well.

Example page object

{
  "object": "page",
  "id": "e722caec-ae02-4a41-9bbd-286f65f8dca4",
  "created_time": "2022-02-15T21:24:00.000Z",
  "last_edited_time": "2022-02-17T22:40:00.000Z",
