Removes history for all pages on the space with the given key.
The service starts a long running task that covers all accessible, current pages of the specified spaces. If no spaces are specified, the service will cover all spaces on the Confluence instance.
There are options to remove the history of pages as well as the history of the page attachments.

spaceKeys
The list of comma-separate keys to the space to remove the history of their pages. If not specified, all spaces are traversed.

If checked previous versions of attachments to pages are also removed.
attachmentKeepCount
The number of attachment versions to keep, 1 (default) meaning that only the current version is kept.

The response returns a 500 on any internal error.
