API updates

Your API version controls the API and webhook behavior you see (for example, what properties you see in responses, what parameters you’re permitted to send in requests, and so on). You need to pass the version explicitly with every request, otherwise the latest version of API is used. When a breaking change is introduced to the Workshop Butler API, a new dated version is released.

Backwards-compatible changes​

We consider the following changes to be backwards-compatible:

  • Adding new API resources.
  • Adding new optional request parameters to existing API methods.
  • Adding new properties to existing API responses.
  • Changing the order of properties in existing API responses.
  • Changing the length or format of opaque strings, such as object IDs, error messages, and other human-readable strings.
  • Adding new event types. Your webhook listener should gracefully handle unfamiliar event types.

Changelog​

The API changelog only lists breaking changes to the Workshop Butler API. If you’re looking for information about feature additions and product updates, see the product changelog.
