P.s. I tried using BioBlend and(or) the Galaxy API to get a given user's current history but found there was no way to do so. Seems like there is occasionally a tension between "plaform by design" (reduced instruction set, occasionally with security in mind, or dev resource limitations) and "platform for creativity" (everything exposed in case someone might find use for it). d.

If I'm already using non-public APIs to get the current history ID, can it be done more directly using something analogous to the above? Thanks, Ben
