Our Approach to Updates
Our update process is designed to be seamless and non-disruptive to your integration. We understand the importance of maintaining stability while incorporating new functionalities. Here's how we handle updates:
Scheduled Updates: Updates are typically scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize any potential impact on your operations. We strive to keep you informed well in advance about scheduled maintenance windows.
Versioning: Each update is accompanied by a version number. Our versioning system helps you track changes and understand which features or improvements have been introduced in a particular release.
Versioning Policy
API versioning is a crucial aspect of maintaining a stable and reliable interface for developers and consumers of your API. It allows you to introduce changes, improvements, and new features while ensuring that existing clients continue to function without disruptions. This section outlines our versioning policy and best practices for managing changes to the API.
Versioning Scheme
We use a simple versioning scheme based on semantic versioning (SemVer) to ensure clarity and consistency. Our API versions consist of three components:
Major Version (X.Y.Z): This component is incremented when there are backward-incompatible changes. It signals that existing clients may require updates or adjustments to work with the new version.
Minor Version (X.Y.Z): A minor version increment indicates the introduction of new features or enhancements that are backward-compatible. Existing clients should continue to work without modification.
Patch Version (X.Y.Z): Patch versions are for backward-compatible bug fixes and minor improvements that do not introduce new features. Existing clients should work seamlessly with a higher patch version.
Service-Specific Versioning
Each service within our API ecosystem has its own versioning. To access a specific service, include the service name in the URL path followed by the version, as follows:
arduino
https://api.buzzeasy.com/service_name/vX/Where "service_name" represents the name of the service, and "X" represents the major version number of that service. This approach allows us to manage versions at a granular level for individual services.
Handling Deprecated Versions
When a new major version is released for a service, the previous major version of that service will be marked as deprecated. We will provide advance notice of deprecation and a timeline for its eventual retirement. It is recommended that clients of that specific service migrate to the latest version or the highest compatible version for that service.
Compatibility
We make every effort to ensure backward compatibility within a service's major version. However, it's essential for developers to test their applications with new minor and patch versions of the service to verify that their functionality remains intact.
Versioning in API Requests
To specify the API version when making requests to a specific service, include the service name and version in the URL path. For example:
https://api.buzzeasy.com/service_name/v1/endpointCommunication
We will communicate changes, updates, and deprecation of versions through our official communication channels. Developers are encouraged to subscribe to notifications and stay informed about changes to the API and specific services.
