API Versions
Learn how to specify which API version to use whenever you make a request to the API.
About API versioning
The Anakin.ai API is versioned. The API version name is based on the date when the API version was released. For example, the API version 2024-05-08
was released on Tue, 8 May 2024
.
Any breaking changes will be released in a new API version. Breaking changes are changes that can potentially break an integration.
- 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 API version is released, the previous API version will usally be supported for at least 3 more months.
Specifying an API version
You should use the X-Anakin-Api-Version
header to specify an API version. For example:
curl --header "X-Anakin-Api-Version:2024-05-08" https://api.anakin.ai/v1/versions
Requests without the X-Anakin-Api-Version
header will default to use the 2024-05-08
version.
:::caution
If you specify an API version that is no longer supported, you will receive a 422
error.
