Recent CheckIns TFS pro grammatically

I am new to this TFS thing. I am aware of the API to use for Recent CheckIn which is Changeset API. I am also aware that other post about Recent CheckIn, but they don't fulfil what i want. Since TFS has disabled this Recent CheckIn webpart, i need to rebuild this webpart. So in that case , i need to query all the recent checkin with the Id,comment attribute, shown in below.

Anyone can guide me along?

Your help is appreciated

(If SharePoint webparts supports that) You may try to use net libs for rest api: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/integrate/get-started/client-libraries/samples

This is example of top 10 chekins:

public IEnumerable<TfvcChangesetRef> ListChangesets() 
{ 
    VssConnection connection = this.Context.Connection; 
    TfvcHttpClient tfvcClient = connection.GetClient<TfvcHttpClient>(); 

    IEnumerable<TfvcChangesetRef> changesets = tfvcClient.GetChangesetsAsync(top: 10).Result; 

    foreach (TfvcChangesetRef changeset in changesets) 
    { 
        Console.WriteLine("{0} by {1}: {2}", changeset.ChangesetId, changeset.Author.DisplayName, changeset.Comment ?? "<no comment>"); 
    } 

    return changesets; 
}

Full example here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-dotnet-samples/blob/master/ClientLibrary/Snippets/Microsoft.TeamServices.Samples.Client/Tfvc/ChangesetsSample.cs

Results of Changeset API are sorted by ID in descending order by default. And there is a parameter $top which return the maximum number of results you defined.

So basically, you only need to add $top parameter, which will return recent checkins you want. The following example will return the most recent 3 checkins:

GET https://{instance}/DefaultCollection/_apis/tfvc/changesets?$top=3&api-version={version}

After running this api, you'll get a JSON file which contains all information of the checkins, then, you need to parse the information in this json file to a table.
