20240325 - Changes to Doohly API

over 1 year ago

We have made changes to the Doohly API to improve the structure of our models relating to creatives. Specifically the IFile type was originally used to represent creatives, but overtime has been also used for device reference images, frame standby images and more, even though the type includes fields that are only relevant for creatives. Thus we've introduced a new Creative type to represent creatives going forward, and removed creative specific fields from the IFile type.

Deprecated and New Endpoints

The following endpoints have been deprecated.

If you are using any of these endpoints, please update your code to use the new version as soon as possible, paying special attention to use the new request and response models.

Note that the following endpoints will not return urls for creative files and thumbnails, and instead simply include ids for the creative files and thumbnails. We will be introducing API endpoints for accessing and managing creatives in a future release.
