API Changes - 4/1/13

[Greg Avola [Untappd]]

Hello All,

There will be a few API changes that will be coming soon - and while
these changes are small and should not affect any production apps - I
just wanted to make sure you are aware of them:

1. The "rapid" attribute on /checkin/add will be removed. This is a
legacy attribute that should not be returned as it has not value.

2. The error handling will now return two types of errors,
"error_detail" which remains the same, and error_developer_message
which is new. The Error Detail which previous returned a "developer
friendly" message will now return a "user friendly" message. This will
be helpful for any users that see errors. Previously, if you called a
v4/beer/search and didn't pass a "q" parameter, you get a message
saying "You didn't pass a "q" parameter". While this is helpful for
developers, it's not so helpful for users. This message will now
appear in error_developer_message.

3. The "social" attribute on /checkin/add will be removed. This again
was legacy and should not be included in your response handling.

These changes will go into production on 4/1/13.

Let me know if anyone has any issues with these changes.

Thanks,
Greg

Will "error_type" still be returned, to allow the developer to provide custom (or localized) error messages based on the class of error?

Thanks,
