Added

Conversion between unit types for returned values during filter and query operations.

  • Trigger conversion by setting the targetUnit by externalId or unitSystemName parameters for the data source in a query.
  • When using filters with unit conversion, the unit for filter value is determined by the corresponding property in the source object. When querying data in centimeters by setting targetUnit on a property in the source, the filter value for that property will also be considered to be in centimeters.
  • typing - type.unit on a property in a typing object is now always the same as the unit for the returned data.
  • Added typing to following endpoints:
    • query
    • sync
    • aggregate
    • search

2024-02-19

3D

Changed

  • If the 3d model processing is ongoing or has failed, the 3d api nodes endpoints will now return error code 400 with the response body "Revision processing is not yet complete" or "Revision processing failed" respectively. The previous behavior was to return an empty or partial items list in these cases. Before calling any 3d api nodes endpoints, clients should check that the model revision has "status":"Done".

    • The oidcConfiguration.jwksUrl and oidcConfiguration.tokenUrl can be entirely omitted when updating the OIDC configuration for a project.
    • The oidcConfiguration.jwksUrl and oidcConfiguration.tokenUrl are preserved for backwards compatibility of the API. However, if these are specified as part of the request body, the value must match excatly the values that are specified in the OpenID provider configuration document for the configured issuer (can be found at https://{issuer-url}/.well-known/openid-configuration). If the values does not match, the API will return an error message.
  • The oidcConfiguration.skewMs has been deprecated but remains part of the API for backwards compatibility. It can be omitted from the request. If included, it must always be set to 0.

  • The oidcConfiguration.isGroupCallbackEnabled has been deprecated but remains part of the API for backwards compatibility. It can be omitted from the request.

Authentication

Deprecated

We are deprecating authentication via CDF service accounts and API keys, and user sign-in via /login, in favor of registering applications and services with your IdP (identity provider) and using OpenID Connect and the IdP framework to manage CDF access securely.

The legacy authentication flow is available for customers using Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) on GCP until further notice. We strongly encourage customers to adopt the new authentication flows as soon as possible.

The following API endpoints are deprecated:

  • /api/v1/projects/*/apikeys
  • /api/v1/projects/*/serviceaccounts
  • /login
  • /logout
  • /api/v1/projects/*/groups/serviceaccounts *

*only the sub-resources for listing, adding, and removing members of groups.

List of changes for initial API v1 release in comparison to previous version - API 0.5

General

Added

  • Support for externalId added across resource types. externalId lets you define a unique ID for a data object. Learn more: External IDs
  • externalIdPrefix added as a parameter to the list events, assets and files operations.
  • Richer filtering on the list assets, files and events operations.
  • Search, list and filter operations for assets, events and files now support filtering on source and metadata field values.

Changed

  • Core resources standardize on HTTP methods and URI naming for common operations such as search, partial updates, delete, list and filter
  • API responses are no longer wrapped in a top level data object.
  • Standardized pagination across resources through limit, cursor and nextCursor parameters.
  • The limit parameter no longer implicitly rounds down requested page size to maximum page size.
  • Standardized error responses and codes across all resources. Errors across CDF can be parsed into a single model.
  • Overall improvements to reference documentation. Including documented input constraints, required fields, individual attribute descriptions.

Removed

  • The sourceId field has been removed from resources. Use externalId instead of sourceId+source to define unique IDs for data objects.
  • Sorting is removed from the search operations for files, assets, events and time series. Results are sorted by relevance.
  • offset and previousCursor parameters are no longer supported for pagination across resources.
  • Fetching an asset subtree is no longer supported by files, assets, events and time series.

Assets

Added

  • Ability to select only root assets though new root filter.

  • Filter and Search Assets allows or filtering assets belonging to a set of root assets, specified by combination of internal and external asset identifiers. New body attribute: rootIds.

Changed

  • Updating a single asset is no longer supported through a separate endpoint. Use the update multiple endpoint instead.
