The Service API is a RESTful service that accepts JSON requests. With it, client developers can create intuitive integrations and create additional functionality not present in the standard DirectScale Platform. The primary reason for the API is for the implementation of the Client Extension. However, you do not need to use the extension in order to take advantage of this API

Versioning

When Directscale needs to make backward-incompatible changes to the API they release a new API version which is reflected in the API endpoints. Please note that certain features that have not needed to be updated are still under the v1 path. All endpoints versions, (v1, v2, etc) that are not deprecated, are part of the latest API.

Deprecation

Occasionally, Directscale deprecates an endpoint upon releasing a new version. Though we continue to support deprecated endpoints for our customers with existing implementations, we recommend that all new implementations use the latest endpoints.
