get https://qa-api.bentley.com/changedelements/diff?iTwinId&iModelId[&startChangesetIndex][&endChangesetIndex][&startChangeset][&endChangeset][&diffingStrategy]

Returns a lightweight list of diff jobs for the specified iModel. Each entry contains identifiers, job options, and status, however, they won't contain the job results. Use the single-job GET endpoint to retrieve job results. Results can be filtered by startChangeset/endChangeset (index or Id) and/or diffingStrategy. startChangesetIndex and endChangesetIndex remain accepted as deprecated index aliases.
