API updates and version history

This changelog documents all changes to the Caesar API. We follow date-based versioning, where each version represents a stable snapshot of the API.

Versioning approach

Caesar uses Stripe-style date-based versioning. Each version is a dated snapshot that remains stable indefinitely. You can pin your integration to a specific version and upgrade on your own schedule.

Set your API version using the API-Version header or pin it to your API key in the dashboard.
