API Key name Changes in 5.7 onwards

Post by optionstechnology »

Can you please document all of the key name changes in the API in version 5.7?

We have upgraded but are now having to comb though thousands of lines of code to fix

Also - in future its a good idea to --
A: leave the legacy entries in if they are not causing ay problems
B: tell us your making changes

Noted. I'm reaching out to get more details on this, but there was a change in 5.7, specifically:
Updated objects API to no longer convert XML to JSON for a more consistent output and always returns the same structure at any result size [TPS#14740] -JO
And I'll follow up with you shortly on this topic.

Best Regards,
Benjamin
