API Versions

When you build an application that uses the Zenfolio API, the application is bound to a specific API version indicated in the Web service URL. For example, if your application sends API requests to

http://api.zenfolio.com/api/1.0/zfapi.asmx

it uses API version 1.0. An application that sends requests to

http://api.zenfolio.com/api/1.1/zfapi.asmx

uses API version 1.1.

Once an API version is published, it never changes. This ensures that your application continues to work flawlessly after you build and test it against a particular API version.

The following API versions are currently available:

• Version 1.0. This is the initial Zenfolio API version.
• Version 1.1. This version adds support for additional access mask flags and for custom URLs.
• Version 1.2. This version adds support for password-protected original images and password hints.
• Version 1.3. This version adds support for retrieving and managing comments and guestbook entries and a method to create photos by downloading them from an external URL.
• Version 1.4. This version adds some control over which fields are returned by certain snapshot loading methods, improved caching support and new image URLs optimized for immediate downloading.
• Version 1.6. This version adds support for sharing favorites sets and for uploading and playing videos.
• Version 1.7. This version adds support for 64-bit object identifiers.
