Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to get the list item version using CSOM or JavaScript.
There is no directly way to get the list item version using CSOM or REST Api, however, there are alternative options as below.
We can use the SharePoint List web service
that exposes Lists.GetVersionCollection Method to return version information for the specified field in a SharePoint list.
There is a code demo to retrieve the List1 item version, it works like a charm, you can refer to it.
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Shared Documents/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Shared Documents/jquery.SPServices-2014.01.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetVersionCollection",
async: false,
strlistID: "Lists_1",
strlistItemID: 1,
strFieldName: "Title",
completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
console.log(xData);
$(xData.responseText).find("Version").each(function(i) {
console.log("Name: " + $(this).attr("Title") + " Modified: " + $(this).attr("Modified"));
</script>
What’s more, we can also get request to Versions.aspx page to get the list item version.
There is an article about this topic, you can have a look at it.
