POST /api/bulk/articles changes: the unversioned path now serves API v4, not backwards compatible
Stopped workingSubscribe to DOAJ APIShare
On July 18, 2024, the unversioned API path changed to serve API v4 instead of older versions. This update affected POST /api/bulk/articles, which is not backwards compatible. Following this change, calls using older formats fail.
Calls it hits
POST /api/bulk/articles
What to use instead of these calls
Send bulk article uploads in the v4 format to POST /api/v4/bulk/articles. Note that v1 to v3 no longer accept bulk uploads.
In DOAJ API's words
As previously mentioned on this blog, we will migrate to the newest version of our API on Thursday 18th July. The v4 API will become the “current” API version and be available at /api AND /api/v4.
