LiveBy API Beta Endpoints Program

What is the purpose of the LiveBy Beta Endpoints Program?

The LiveBy Beta Endpoints Program is designed to collect feedback and make iterative improvements before officially releasing new endpoints to our API. Participating in this program provides customers early access to new features in a controlled environment. This allows us to gather valuable insights that contribute to refining and enhancing the functionality, reliability, and performance of these endpoints.

What should I consider before using a beta endpoint?

The LiveBy Beta Endpoints offer you early access and the opportunity to help shape the API based on your feedback. However, with this early access, there are several important considerations.

  • Additions & Enhancements - While beta endpoints are considered feature-complete, we remain open to further improvements. Based on your feedback, we will update our documentation with any additions or enhancements.
  • Breaking Changes - Active testing may reveal the need for significant changes that could alter how the endpoint functions, potentially affecting previous versions without prior warning.
  • Production Usage Warning - Due to the possibility of unforeseen changes, we recommend against using beta endpoints in critical production environments. This precaution helps ensure that your core operations remain stable while you explore the new features.

How long does the beta phase last?

The duration of the beta phase for an endpoint generally ranges from two to four weeks.

How are version numbers handled during the beta phase?

When a new endpoint is added and is in beta, the version number it is given will not change during or after the beta period has ended. See Data Sources & Version Numbers for more information on versioning.
