Hi everyone,

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve run into some confusing behavior with the [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) V4 API when trying to update metadata:

- At first, the request worked only when I used `asset_ids`.

- Then, about a week ago, it suddenly started failing unless I used `file_ids`.

- Now, using the exact same request that worked before, I’m getting a `422` error saying the API version is incorrect.

This makes me think there have been recent changes to the API that aren’t reflected in the documentation yet.

**My question is:** where are updates like these officially announced or published, so developers can adjust their requests accordingly? Is there a changelog, release notes, or some other channel we should follow?

hi @liran20 can you respond with the exact endpoint you are trying to call so we can help?

As for your question about changelogs, we’re in the midst of working on a solution to better solve this problem for everyone. Stay tuned on that! Should have something very soon to share.

Hi, actually solved it yesterday, first of all for anyone wondering,  
[https://developer.adobe.com/frameio/api/current/](https://developer.adobe.com/frameio/api/current/)  
this link seems to have the most recent updates to the api.  
The “invalid api version” error message, was solved by removing the [api-version = alpha] header from the request.

Ah good to know! The `alpha` header changed to `experimental` some time back and I’m guessing it’s been phased out this week (we’ve had a few reports of similar issues).
