Deprecations for 10 January, 2024

Changes to how deleted data in accounting platforms is handled

Deprecation of data object returned when creating or updating records

On January 10, 2024, we will deprecate the data field that is currently returned in the response when creating or updating entities. Pushed data will also no longer be stored, so a refresh of data will be required for Codat to reflect any new or updated records.

Other updates

Is retrieving SMB data taking unusually long?

We recently released some important infrastructure changes to improve reliability when pulling data from third party platforms.

Now, where recoverable issues with third-parties are encountered, we pause the operation behind the scenes and retry it ourselves at a later date.

You might see operations remaining in the Fetching status for a long time. Nothing's gone wrong - these operations are not broken or timed out, they are awaiting retry. Currently, we haven't exposed this contextual information via API or the Portal, but have plans to do so as soon as possible.

Introducing our newly reorganized Codat products

We've changed the way we organize our APIs to make Codat easier than ever to use. The standardized Codat Accounting, Banking, and Commerce APIs you might be familiar with have a large array of functionality, but it can be difficult to know how to use them to achieve what you're trying to achieve. We've repackaged all the functionality you're using today into a new, clearer set of products aligned to your use case.

Our change management policy

We post upcoming changes on our docs updates as soon as they're confirmed and send out a summary email each quarter. We then send a quarterly email with a formal notice which all admin and developer users should receive (unless they have unsubscribed).

You can see the deprecations as they're announced in the docs, Portal, and even follow our deprecation calendar.
