Changelog

Review releases, changes, and fixes across Digitize API versions.

The main API entrypoint has moved to the new platform.digitizetheplanet.org subdomain; the old content.digitizetheplanet.org URL will remain valid for quite a while.

v2.1.1

Additions:

  • Added beta endpoint /closures-and-notices/deleted for syncing deleted closures and notices, with date, deleted_after, and deleted_before filters.
  • Added exclude_source_ids on /closures-and-notices to omit one or more closure and notice sources from list results.

v2.1.0

Additions:

  • Added beta endpoints /closures-and-notices, /closures-and-notices/{uuid}, /reasons, /reason-categories, and /closures-and-notices-sources.

v2.0.2

Fixes:

  • Normalized seasonal rule dates on /protected-area-rules, /protected-area-rules/{id}, and /protected-areas/{uuid}/rules so season_start and season_end always use year 2000 in API responses.

v2.0.1

Additions:

  • Added include_unmanaged=true|false on /protected-areas, defaulting to current managed selection (false).
  • Added deleted_after and deleted_before on /protected-areas/deleted, aligned with naming on /protected-areas and inclusive date matching behavior.

Fixes:

  • OpenAPI schema generation for dynamic serializers now maps responses with fields=all, so documented components include the full schema superset.

v2.0.0

Promoted v2 from release candidate to stable with no changes since v2.0.0-rc.1.

v2.0.0-rc.1

Locked down breaking changes and aligned request/response contracts with the beta schema.

v2.0.0-beta.4

Breaking changes:

  • Bundled geodata and picture information into single fields, which now also contain license and source information.
  • Renamed field area_in_sqm to area_in_km2 to correct the naming.
  • Filtering /protected-areas by rule attributes is now enforcing combined filtering across rule attributes, so all specified filters must be satisfied simultaneously.
  • Use a more generic syntax for external_references on /protected-areas.
  • Remove obsolete response attributes from /wildlife.
  • Enforced strict validation for query and path parameters across all endpoints, returning consistent standardized error payloads when inputs are invalid.

Additions:

  • Allow ordering on /protected-areas results.
  • Enhanced OpenAPI schema with additional and updated metainformation.

Fixes:

  • Always return absolute urls.

v2.0.0-beta.3

Breaking changes:

  • Rename target in external references to name.
  • Fix return types of /protected-areas/{uuid}/rules, /protected-areas/{uuid}/pictures, /protected-areas/{uuid}/legal-documents, and /protected-areas/{uuid}/wildlife and remove data redundancy in them.

v2.0.0-beta.2

Breaking changes:

  • External references are now normalized and grouped as external_references object.

Fixes:

  • fields now strips whitespaces to reduce hard to debug selection errors.

v2.0.0-beta.1 - Initial beta release

  • New API endpoints with enhanced performance.
  • Improved data models and extended filters.
  • Full OpenAPI 3.0 schema and interactive documentation.
