API Versioning Policy

This article describes how we incorporate versioning of the services.

API Versioning

TF Platform uses header-based versioning. You specify the API version in the request header without altering the URL structure.

TF-API-Version: 1.0.0

If no version header is provided, the latest stable major version will be used by default.


Semantic Versioning

TF Platform follows semantic versioning (semver) in the format {major}.{minor}.{patch}:

  • Major (X.0.0) – breaking changes, not backward-compatible.

  • Minor (X.Y.0) – backward-compatible new features.

  • Patch (X.Y.Z) – bug fixes and minor improvements.

Examples: v1.2.0, v2.0.3, v3.1.1.


API Request Example

GET https://your-domain.com/api/resource
Host: your-domain.com
TF-API-Version: 1.2.3

Best Practices

  • Always specify the full version (X.Y.Z) in production to avoid unexpected changes.

  • Test against new minor versions before upgrading.

  • Refer to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for details on version support windows and deprecation notice periods.


Version Tags

All TF Platform open-source components use semantic versioning and are tagged in repositories with a v prefix (e.g., v2.3.1).
