Hi All,

We request all our users to migrate to the newer versions as soon as possible; the older versions will become non-functional with the upcoming build releases.

The difference in structure of APIs is as follows:

Old: Server_name/api/1.0(or 1.1)/desktop/authentication

New: Server_name/api/1.2(or 1.3)/desktop/authentication

 The revised API documentation can be viewed here.

 Other enhancements in API include: 

• Role based access: Users triggered API calls are validated in Desktop Central with the assigned privileges before being processed, in case the user doesn’t have sufficient privileges, an error response will be returned.
  

• 2FA support: Desktop Central APIs now support two factor authentication to provide an extra layer of security. Refer here for more information.
  

• Server information API: This API was created newly after splitting it from the Server Discover API. It ensures that server information is posted only to authenticated users.
  
  
  
  Structure of Server Information API:
  
  API Endpoint : api/1.3/desktop/serverinfo
  
  HTTP Method: GET
  
  Set the authtoken from to Authorization HTTP header for all requests.
