Deprecate XML support

BREAKING CHANGE

JSON is our only God now.

Change client error response from 403 to 400

BREAKING CHANGE

All errors based on client request input will not return a 400 Bad Request status code instead of 403 Forbidden.

Lack of authorization now returns 403

Currently you have full access with the API-key but if we support permission levels for API usage as we do with normal users you will receive a 403 status code when you are authenticated but lack permissions.

2021-01-18

Paginated responses now uses RFC-8288 Link HTTP header. There is also metadata in HTTP headers: Current-Page, Page-Items, Total-Count, Total-Pages.

By mistake this was included in the documentation, it was never implemented.

Endpoints affected: GET /bookings/agenda/

2020-05-14

Added delete all occurrences endpoint

Added endpoint for deleting all occurrences of recurring bookings.

2020-03-13

New webhook events

Added the following webhooks events:

Fixed message sending bug

BREAKING CHANGE

Fixed a parsing bug which caused certain boolean json values to be ignored when set to false. This applied to parameters for specifying message sending when creating a booking, such as notification_send_email. Using a string value of 'false' worked but not the boolean value false. This will be a breaking change if you sent these parameters as boolean false using JSON.

Endpoints affected: POST /bookings/* PUT /bookings/* DELETE /bookings/*

2020-03-12

Added phone_number to booking person

phone_number is now included with person in a booking listing.

2019-12-11

New webhook events

Added the following webhook events:

2019-11-26

Modified booking cancellation webhook event

BREAKING CHANGE

Removing a booking would previously trigger booking.cancelled webhook event. This has now been changed to booking.deleted.

A cancellation would still trigger booking.cancelled. This means that to monitor deleted bookings you should subscribe to both booking.cancelled and booking.deleted. In most cases a booking will be cancelled, but in some cases it will be removed.

2019-03-21

Added list users endpoint

Added endpoint for listing users with access to client.

Added add_messages to create booking

INVITE-ONLY BETA FUNCTIONALITY

Can specify whether messages are generated from message templates.

2018-11-15

Added delete person endpoint

Added endpoint for deleting a person.

2017-12-30

Added merge people endpoint

Added endpoint for merging two people.

2017-12-28

Default order of returned bookings and events

The default order used to be reverse chronological, this have not changed to chronological. So the oldest entry will now be the first item returned.

To use the old default please specify order using order=booked_from_desc for bookings and order=starts_at_desc for events.

Endpoints affected: GET /bookings/ GET /events/ and other similar listing endpoints for bookings and events.

2017-08-10

Maximum limit for recurring occurrences

Previously there was a limit of 366 occurrences when creating recurring bookings or events. When going above this limit no detailed error message was returned. We now return a detailed error message on the collection_id attribute. In addition we have increased the maximum limit of occurrences to 731.

2017-07-05

Verification method attribute requirement for existing person

BREAKING CHANGE

When verification is required the attribute of the verification method is required to complete a booking with confirm=false. So if SMS verification is used then phone_number is a required field for person_attributes. This now also applies when specifying a person_id, so a person without a phone number will not be able to initiate the verification process.

In general it is advisable to only specify person_id when you have authenticated this person. In all other cases you should supply person_attributes so MakePlans can match and verify the person using the supplied values.

Endpoint affected: POST /bookings/?confirm=false

Valid phone number required when verifying a booking

BREAKING CHANGE

When SMS verification is used the supplied phone_number (either using person_attributes or the value from an existing person) is now validated to ensure it is a proper phone number. Currently any phone number can be specified but in the future only mobile phone numbers will be allowed since an SMS will be sent to the phone number.

Endpoint affected: POST /bookings/?confirm=false

Public booking will not check for verification method attributes

BREAKING CHANGE

Previously specifying public_booking=true would validate required verification method attribute (such as phone_number). From now on this validation is only performed when verification is requested by specifying confirm=false.

Endpoint affected: POST /bookings/?public_booking=true

Removed base error for person errors when creating new booking

BREAKING CHANGE

base is no longer returned when there is an error with the person supplied with a new booking. Instead the person attribute now contains information about errors related to the person. In addition detailed errors are returned in person_attributes.

Endpoint affected: POST /bookings/

Previously:

{
  "base": [
    "Person errors"
  ]
}

Now:

{
  "person": [
    "is invalid"
  ],
  "person_attributes": {
    "email": [
      "cannot be empty"
    ]
  }
}
