Headers

X-Moov-Version

string

Specify an API version.

API versioning follows the format vYYYY.QQ.BB, where

  • YYYY is the year
  • QQ is the two-digit month for the first month of the quarter (e.g., 01, 04, 07, 10)
  • BB is the build number, starting at .01, for subsequent builds in the same quarter.
    • For example, v2024.01.00 is the initial release of the first quarter of 2024.

The latest version represents the most recent development state. It may include breaking changes and should be treated as a beta release. When no version is specified, the API defaults to v2024.01.00.
