Azure DevOps REST APIs are versioned to ensure applications and services continue to work as APIs evolve.
Guidelines
- API version must be specified with every request.
- API versions are in the format {major}.{minor}[-{stage}[.{resource-version}]] - For example,
1.0,1.1,1.2-preview,2.0. - While an API is in preview, you can specify a precise version of a particular revision of the API when needed (for example,
1.0-preview.1,1.0-preview.2). - Once an API is released (1.0, for example), its preview version (1.0-preview) is deprecated and can be deactivated after 12 weeks.
- During this time, you should upgrade to the released version of the API. Once a preview API is deactivated, requests that specify a
-previewversion get rejected.
Usage
The API version can be specified either in the header of the HTTP request or as a URL query parameter:
HTTP request header:
Accept: application/json;api-version=1.0
Query parameter:
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/{area}/{resource}?api-version=1.0

Major API version releases align with Team Foundation Server RTM releases. For example, the 3.0 API set was introduced with Team Foundation Server 2017.
A few undocumented version 1.0 APIs existed in Team Foundation Server 2013, but aren't supported.
