A new major version (v4) of our API is scheduled for release on 18th June 2024. This new version of the API introduces significant performance improvements on the bulk article upload endpoint (/api/bulk/articles) but is not backwards compatible so if you rely on bulk article uploads, you will need to upgrade your integrations to use the new version.
This upgrade affects only the /api/bulk/articles endpoint. If you do not use this feature, your API integrations will continue to work normally.
Timeline
18 June 2024 – v4 of the API will be released and available at the base URL /api/v4. It will not replace the existing current API version (v3).
Approximately one month after 18th June 2024 (exact date to be confirmed): The v4 API will become the “current” API version and will be available at /api AND /api/v4.
Approximately six months after 18th June 2024 (exact date to be confirmed): All previous API versions (v1, v2 and v3) will cease to support bulk article uploads, and if you wish to use this feature, you must use the v4 API.
