New API call for version?

Post by emcodem »

Dear steinar,

would it be easily possible to add a version api call so i am able to determine if my API consuming code is prepared/tested for a specific version?

cheers!

Yes of course..i think so. How you think would be the best way to implement API versioning?

I guess that is an easy one, if you can just return a string representing the build number, e.g. the same as "Help->About FFAstrans": "0.9.4.44".
In other enterprise apps i know, this call works like a "test" call, it is the first thing that everyone who wants to use the API calls.

On the other hand, while creating the WEBUI, i noticed some strange things. I shall open another thread about stuff that makes life of API consumers hard soon...
