Dear bLink Community,

We’ve updated how API specifications are presented in the bLink Docs. Here’s a quick summary of what’s new:

  • Enhanced API visualization: API specs now feature a refreshed design, including the previously missing visualization for Custody Services v3.
  • Language tabs with code examples: Easily find examples demonstrating how to call our supported APIs in multiple languages (Java, Node.js, curl, Kotlin). To get started, follow the technical onboarding
  • Improved navigation: We’ve renamed navigation items under the API Reference section to help you locate the information you need faster.

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.
