API Change Log

Users can view which endpoints will be impacted on the page to provide ample time and warning for affected users to transition to an alternative solution. Users may need to update their code, adjust settings, or search for a different endpoint. Staying up-to-date with API changes is essential to ensure the proper functioning of applications.
  • Deprecation refers to the process of phasing out or discontinuing an API. This means that the API will no longer be supported by PlexTrac, even though it may still be operational.
  • Sunsetting means that the API will be removed and not function.
  • Breaking Changes are modifications that render current solutions ineffective, causing existing code or integrations to fail or produce incorrect results, even if the endpoint itself is not changing.

Deprecations

These APIs will be removed from the codebase on the posted Sunset Date. Additional details for each API can be found below the summary table. APIs that have been deprecated but not sunset will be highlighted.
For visibility on what major release PlexTrac is currently on for cloud-hosted instances, please refer to the Release Notes.

November 7, 2023 - 1.61
Update RBAC ID Values - August 21, 2023
Summary: Replaces the randomly generated roleID with set values.
Details: Currently, the admin, standard, and analyst roleID are randomly generated when the tenancy is created. In the future, this will be a standard set value. Users must locate all occurrences of this variable and update the endpoint.
For example, with the admin role, change /api/v2/tenants/0/security/role/cl75q1auk00040yoff389h206 (random roleID value) to /api/v2/tenants/0/security/role/cljhc9ggj000008l99gkyai90 (the new standard value).
Release 1.58 will implement this modification, supporting the legacy and the new solution. Release 1.59 will no longer provide support for the legacy method.
The new set ID values for each default RBAC role are listed below.
  • ADMIN: cljhc9ggj000008l99gkyai90
  • STD_USER: cljhc9rvn000208l9g4lpai54
  • ANALYST: cljhc9yh1000308l9ar7j8mux
Impacted Endpoints:
  • GET /api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/security/role/{roleId}
  • PUT /api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/security/role/{roleId}/info
  • PUT /api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/security/role/{roleId}/permissions
  • ​PUT /api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/security/role/{roleId}/users
  • DELETE /api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/security/role/{roleId}/users/{userId}
  • DELETE /api/v2/tenants/{tenantId}/security/role/{roleId}
Decouple Finding/Assets - November 7, 2023
Summary: This change has been carefully designed to enhance your experience by speeding up the delivery of a more concise data set. We are proactively contacting you to ensure that there will be no data disruption on your account.
Details:
Get Finding API Functionality: The Get Finding endpoint returns the finding information about the finding and related affected assets. The standard use case for this endpoint is gather data relevant to the finding of the findingId specified in the request. Currently the affected asset information returned, also references relational data to other findings not specified in the request.
What's changing: This update is a modification of the data that will be returned using the Get Finding endpoint. We have increased performance and security by maintaining the findings and related assets and excluding the third level of data (data for every other finding related to each of those affected assets in the requested finding) in the returned data set. If you were using the Get Finding endpoint to access these findings related to an asset, please see the recommended routes below.
Routes for Accessing Findings Related to an Asset: We understand that you might have specific requirements for other data needed. To address this, we have existing designated routes to get you access to findings related to an asset. The Get Asset route will retrieve a single record, or for multiple records in a single request, use the List Client Assets route.
Impacted Endpoints:
  • ​Get Finding - GET /api/v1/client/{{clientId}}/report/{{reportId}}/flaw/{{findingId}}
