Backwards Compatibility

Each request to the Duffel API must include a Duffel-Version header so we know which version of the API you want to use.

During our beta programme, we may make backwards-incompatible changes to the API at short notice. When we do, you may need to make changes to your integration, or it'll stop working.

Before we make any backwards-incompatible changes, we'll email registered users, post to our changelog and tweet from @duffel_api.

Once we move out of beta, we'll release new, dated API versions when we make backwards-incompatible changes to the API. We'll give at least three months' notice before ending support for older versions.

We consider the following changes backwards-compatible:

  • Adding new API endpoints
  • Adding new attributes to responses from existing API endpoints
  • Reordering attributes in responses from existing API endpoints
  • Adding optional request parameters to existing API endpoints
  • Changing the format or length of IDs
  • Changing the title or message attributes of API errors
  • Adding new types of services
