Upcoming Change to Article Attachments API URL Structure
What is the upcoming change to the Article Attachments API URL structure?
Zendesk is updating the URL structure for the Article Attachments API to enhance reliability. The change involves removing the file name from the contenturl in the API response, while still providing it in a separate filename attribute. This update aims to ensure that attachment links remain valid even if file names change, improving the stability of the platform.
The older URLs will continue to function as usual, so there is no immediate disruption expected for users. This change is part of Zendesk's efforts to provide a more robust and reliable service for all users. For more details, you can check theoriginal announcement.
