A major refresh of the Space API will be implemented in 2022. The dev instance of the new SpaceInfo v3 API is currently available in the API Store Dev Site to allow you to begin your testing well in advance of the update.
If you do not have access to the Dev API Store please reach out to Glenn Donaldson.6 to activate your profile.
The new API was developed as a replacement for v2, which will be deprecated in at the end of April 2022. v2 still includes old data attributes that are no longer maintained in SIMS and also isn't using the standard column aliases for the attributes. v3 also incorporates new data attributes that have been added to SIMS since the release of v2.
The feed structures of v3 will be very similar to v2, with the existing breakdown of feeds:
- /buildings - all available data for all buildings currently in SIMS
- /buildings/{buildingNumber} - all available data for a specific building
- /buildings/{buildingNumber}/floors - all available data for any floors in a specific building
- /buildings/{buildingNumber}/rooms - all available data for all rooms in a specific building
- /rooms - all data available for all rooms currently in SIMS
It is strongly suggested that you begin planning and developing for this update as soon as you can fit it into your development cycle. As mention above, v3 is available now to begin your planning. Additionally, v2 & v1 will be deprecated and deactivated at the end of April 2022. From that point forward v3 will be the only version of the API that will be available.
In addition to the updates to the feeds, we will also be implementing a major update to our Room Type data. If your application relies on specific values in the Room Type data, please review the details about this update in the SIMS Room Type Data Update article. The updates to the Room Type and Sub-Type data has already been implemented in the Dev v3 API to allow you time to work with these new definitions.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about this update. We are here to assist you with this transistion and will do everything we can to ensure your succesful implementation of the new API.
