Versioning

The REST API is versioned and the API version used is specified in the request URL. Presently, Version 1 is the only version available.

Version Criteria

Any breaking changes will be released in a new API version. Breaking changes are changes that can potentially break an integration. Breaking changes include:

  • removing an entire operation

  • removing or renaming a parameter

  • removing or renaming a response field

  • adding a new required parameter

  • making a previously optional parameter required

  • changing the type of a parameter or response field

  • removing enum values

  • adding a new validation rule to an existing parameter

  • changing authentication or authorization requirements

Any additive (non-breaking) changes will be available in all supported API versions. Additive changes are changes that should not break an integration. Additive changes include:

  • adding an operation

  • adding an optional parameter

  • adding an optional request header

  • adding a response field

  • adding a response header

  • adding enum values

When a new REST API version is released, the previous API version will be supported for at least 12 more months following the release of the new API version.

Upgrading

Before upgrading to a new REST API version, you should read the changelog of breaking changes for the new API version to understand what breaking changes are included and to learn more about how to upgrade to that specific API version.

When you update your integration to specify the new API version in the request URL, you'll also need to make any changes required for your integration to work with the new API version.

Once your integration is updated, test your integration to verify that it works with the new API version.
