API Version 2023-03-14

2023-03-14 is Rutter's first API version that ships a set of breaking changes. As part of this change, we are labeling our existing API as version 2023-02-07.

Please refer to our versioning policy to understand what we consider a breaking change.

To support versioning, we are changing our root URL - https://production.rutterapi.com/versioned. Note that the new root URL ends with /versioned. Our legacy root URL is https://production.rutterapi.com, which is identical to version 2023-02-07.

To switch to the versioned Rutter API, you'll also need to specify the X-Rutter-Version header with a valid version (e.g., 2023-03-14). Note that switching to the new root URL with a version of 2023-02-07 from the legacy root URL should be completely safe.

When you are ready to upgrade API versions, you can begin by:

1. Checking the change changelog below for the breaking changes introduced by the new version.
2. Handle the changes in request and response bodies and update the X-Rutter-Version request header.

If you are subscribed to Rutter webhooks, you can upgrade the version of your webhook payloads by

1. Checking the changelog below for the breaking changes introduced by the new version.
2. Update your webhook code to handle both the old and new version of each object.
3. In the Rutter Dashboard, update the version of your webhook payloads sent to your Webhook URL.

We recommend that you test your webhook code first by deploying a separate test handler and registering that to subscribe to the new version of webhooks in the Rutter Dashboard.
