Release notes: Sprint 47

Notes We recently had an interruption where data for gifts, programs, and projects was unavailable in the API. We’ve resolved those issue with our data supplier and those endpoints are working correctly again. Thanks for your patience while we worked this out. We have two new functional endpoints: catalog items and tax codes. These are …

Release notes: Sprint 43

Notes We started by clarifying something announced in a previous sprint: we’ve added new fields to the Grants endpoint, but the data is not yet filled in.

Release notes: Sprint 35

Notes This sprint overlapped the December holidays, so we had some interruptions to our usual schedules, but we still have a few things to report. We made some more progress on cost center hierarchies but they’re still not quite ready for release. We demonstrated a way to filter cost center hierarchies by level and talked …

We showed some of the data we’ll be returning, though it’s not in its final form yet. It’s not quite ready for use, but we’ll have that by our next review. Cost center …

Release notes: Sprint 32

Notes We started loading some temporary data on cost center hierarchies from an older set of Workday APIs, and that’s enabled us to begin development on a new API endpoint for those hierarchies. Cost center hierarchies are one of the replacements for UDDS codes in Workday. They’ll take the place of UDDS codes in financial …

Release notes: Sprint 31

Notes In this review, we introduced the possibility of adding machine-readable error codes to the responses from the FDM validator (originally suggested by an API user). This generated some lively discussion with no clear consensus yet on the best path forward. We will likely revisit this issue again in the future, but for now there …
