GoCanvas is excited to announce the release of API v3, now available on qualifying plans.
GoCanvas API v3
GoCanvas API v3 represents years of feedback collected by our current API users and includes many of our most commonly requested API features from our beta program. Our new API follows industry standards as a RESTful JSON API with robust documentation.
Going forward, API v3 will be a building ground for additional improvements to help connect GoCanvas with our customer’s other systems and to offer powerful integrations with other software. To keep up to date on any updates, follow the Release Notes Topic in the Community or the Release Notes section in the Help Center.

Maintenance Policy for API v3
GoCanvas API versioning follows semantic versioning, treating the published number as a “major” release. As such, best efforts will be made to introduce changes in a reverse-compatible way. Should a “major” change be needed to improve the API, we would announce an API v4 and make a determination at that point if v3 needs to be deprecated with ample warning to allow customers to migrate to a newer version.
