API versions
Updates to the API are designed so that every new version remains compatible with earlier versions. As parts of the API are upgraded, the older replaced parts are deprecated but are not removed, so that existing applications can still use them.
The functionality that Alloy Navigator Express API delivers is specified by the "API Version" identifier. The default version is the latest one.
To access a specific version of the API, specify its identifier in the API URL. For example:
http://www.example.com/api/v1/object/T000002
IMPORTANT: If you do not specify the API version number in an URL, the system assumes the default v2 version.
