Versioning

Version numbers

Major version

The Acquisio APIs are versioned with a single number for major versions. The major version is included in the URL of the API and will be incremented when incompatible API changes are done.

Release notes

  • Each major version of an API has its own release notes.
  • Backward compatible changes made to an API are documented in the release notes.
