Changes to /api/v2/themes
The APIv2 /themes endpoints have seen some significant changes in this release. After hearing much feedback from customers attempting to use these endpoint's we decided an iteration was necessary.
Due to this being a mostly internal endpoint until this point, some of these changes (particularly in the POST/PATCH) are slightly breaking compared to the previous release.
Improvements
- Add
cache-control headers to GET /themes/:id/assets endpoints. In order to make sure the cache is properly invalidated, assets in the GET /themes endpoints now have a cache buster appended to their URL fields. Use these URLs in order to ensure you are receiving an up-to-date version of the asset. - Add server-side caching for themes. This greatly improves performance of fetching themes during both high and low traffic situations. Wondering if your result was cached? Check for the
x-app-cache-hit header. - Improved validation across all endpoints. Invalid content can no longer be inputted. If existing invalid content is encountered, the API should continue to function, but the asset contents may contain a warning or error.
- Input/output structure for post/patch/put/get endpoints are much more consistent. The largest improvements are found in the asset endpoints.
Breaking Changes
PUT and GET asset endpoints now have 2 variations- PUT w/ extensions. Eg.
PUT or GET /themes/:id/assets/assetName.ext- Returns & accepts asset content directly. Type of the asset maps to the
content-type.
- PUT with no extensions. Eg.
PUT or GET /themes/:id/assets/assetName- Returns and accepts json. Values are the same as an asset from the
GET/POST/PATCH /themes endpoint.
- The
Theme resource schema has been updated. - The
GET /themes index endpoint now no longer automatically expands assets by default.- Expand parameters can be found in the updated API documentation.
- Assets now match the schema of GET
/theme/:id/assets endpoints. - All assets not have a
url field. - The
preview field of a theme resource now has a more consistent structure. preview.variables in particular had many fields renamed. - Previously certain assets were just strings. All assets are now objects, with the these fields fields:
type, url. Optionally a data field may be expanded.
