Updated structure for API specifications

· One min read

Dear bLink Community,

We’ve made some updates to how API specifications are presented in the bLink Docs. Here’s a quick overview of the key changes:

  • The API specifications in the Downloads section are no longer divided by environment. This simplifies access and makes it easier to find the relevant modules.
  • The API References section now highlights the major versions of API modules that are either active or currently under implementation.
  • A new article, API Lifecycle, provides a comprehensive overview of the current support status for all API modules, including release dates across different stages and planned deprecation timelines.

We hope these improvements enhance your experience with the bLink documentation. As always, we welcome your feedback!
