API defaults to 2.0 in February, 1.2 no longer supported on Public API from March

Submitted by orcid_members on Thu, 04 Jan 2018 - 08:00 UTC

From February 1, 2018: the default version used for API calls will move from version 1.2 to 2.0

This change will only affect calls that do not specify the version. As we always encourage all clients to specify a version, we hope this change will not cause any problems. If your integration does not currently specify a version you can add ‘v1.2’ to your calls - but you will still need to complete the upgrade to version 2.0 or 2.1 ASAP.
