Get File Version By Version Id in SharePoint using REST API

The example in this topic show how to use REST API to Get File Version By Version Id in SharePoint

REST-API is based on OData (Open Data) Protocol and hence it doesn't require any dll or JS library to run the commands on the SharePoint objects.
REST-API calls require proper end-point URL and proper Header implementation in your REST call.

I have added below Html in Content Editor webpart. You can replace MainFunction with your actual method name.
<button onclick="MainFunction();" type="button">Click me</button>
And below references in Script Editor Webpart. ScriptFile.js is a JavaScript file where you can keep below function i.e. your actual logic.
<script src="https://MyServer/sites/SiteCollection/style library/js/ScriptFile.js"></script>
Once you are done with setting your page, click on the button and your method should get executed.

function GetFileVersionByVersionId() {
var WebServerRelativeUrl = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl;
// Provide Internal name of the library here
var DocuentLibraryInternalName = "Document%20Library";
// Provide name of the document
var DocumentName = "Test%20Doc.docx";
var ServerRelativeUrlofFile = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('" + WebServerRelativeUrl + "/" + DocuentLibraryInternalName + "/" + DocumentName + "')"
$.ajax
({
// _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl - will give absolute URL of the site where you are running the code.
// You can replace this with other site URL where you want to apply the function
// Get File using version Id
// NOTE: Every Major check In will be incremented by "512" e.g. version 1.0 will have ID = 512, Version 2.0 will have ID = 1024
//Every Minor check in will be incremented by "1" e.g version 0.1 will have ID = 1 , version 0.2 will have ID = 2
url: ServerRelativeUrlofFile + "/versions/?$filter=Id eq 1026&$top=1",
type: "GET",
headers:
{
// Accept header: Specifies the format for response data from the server.
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose"
},
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
alert("Version Label - " + data.d.results[0]["VersionLabel"] + ", Check In Comment - " + data.d.results[0]["CheckInComment"]);
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
console.log("Failed");
}
});
}
