Versioning

The Moda REST API uses a calendar-dated version string carried on the Moda-Version request header. Pinning a version guarantees the wire shape you built against stays stable even when we ship a newer version.

Supported versions

Version	Role	Status	Sunsets
`2026-05-01`	Canonical (newest)	Latest response shape	—
`2026-04-12`	Default (legacy)	Current default for unpinned traffic	2026-05-12

Canonical means routes emit this shape natively. Pin this to get the newest response fields.
Default means unpinned requests (no Moda-Version header) resolve to this version. The default advances to the next-newest supported version once the current default sunsets.
Sunset means the version stops being supported on the listed date. After that date, pinning the sunset version returns 400 unsupported_version, and the default advances to the next-newest.

The `Moda-Version` header

Sending the header

Pin explicitly on every request:

curl https://api.moda.app/v1/tasks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer moda_live_abc123..." \
  -H "Moda-Version: 2026-05-01"

Omitting the header

If you omit Moda-Version, the server resolves your request to the current default (2026-04-12). Unpinned integrations keep working across version bumps until a sunset advances the default. For production, pin explicitly so future default advancement doesn’t silently change your response shapes.

Unknown versions

Any value other than a currently-supported version returns 400 unsupported_version:

{
  "error": {
    "type": "invalid_request",
    "code": "unsupported_version",
    "message": "Moda-Version '2026-01-01' is not supported. Supported versions: 2026-04-12, 2026-05-01.",
    "details": {
      "requested": "2026-01-01",
      "supported": ["2026-04-12", "2026-05-01"]
    },
    "request_id": "019d8996-16b3-73ee-841a-5bc5038eb972"
  }
}

The response’s Moda-Version header still carries the current default, so clients can detect the drift and upgrade.

Response header

Every response — success or error — carries the resolved Moda-Version back:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Moda-Version: 2026-04-12
Content-Type: application/json
...

If you omit the header and want to record which version the server resolved you to, read it off the response.

What changes between versions

The 2026-05-01 canonical shape is a cleaner envelope for all task-shaped operations (POST /v1/tasks, GET /v1/tasks/{id}, GET /v1/tasks). The 2026-04-12 legacy shape is the original flat JobResponse form.

List endpoints: offset → cursor pagination

Every list endpoint moved from offset pagination to opaque cursor pagination. Iterate until next_cursor is null: Before (2026-04-12):

{
  "canvases": [ ... ],
  "total": 123,
  "offset": 20,
  "limit": 20,
  "has_more": true
}

After (2026-05-01):

{
  "data": [ ... ],
  "next_cursor": "eyJ2IjoxLCJzIjoiMjAyNi0wNC0xNVQxMjow..."
}

Migration pattern:

cursor = None
while True:
    resp = client.get("/v1/canvases", headers={"Moda-Version": "2026-05-01"}, params={"cursor": cursor}).json()
    for canvas in resp["data"]:
        process(canvas)
    cursor = resp["next_cursor"]
    if cursor is None:
        break

Old (`2026-04-12`)	New (`2026-05-01`)
`response.canvases` / `brand_kits` / `organizations` / `jobs`	`response.data`
`response.total`	no longer computed — iterate until `next_cursor` null
`response.offset` + `response.limit`	opaque `cursor` query param (server-managed position)
`response.has_more`	`response.next_cursor !== null`
`?offset=20&limit=20`	`?cursor=<opaque>&limit=20`

Sort order changed from updated_at DESC (canvases) / name ASC (orgs) to (created_at DESC, id DESC) across every list endpoint — immutable columns only, which avoids row skip / duplicate bugs when rows mutate mid-scan. GET /v1/brand-kits also dropped the team_id field from the canonical response — it’s implicit in the API key context.

Error responses

Every endpoint now explicitly declares ErrorEnvelope responses for 401 / 403 / 404 / 409 / 422 / 429 / 500 in the OpenAPI spec. The wire shape is unchanged — this is a spec-hardening change for SDK generators to emit typed error classes. No migration action required for direct HTTP callers.

Webhook event taxonomy

Webhook event.type values moved from the legacy job.* prefix to task.* / export.*. Legacy spelling task.cancelled (two Ls) is retired — canonical uses task.canceled (matching the PublicTaskStatus.CANCELED enum value). Non-terminal states (queued, running, expired) no longer fire webhooks — the v1 taxonomy is terminal-only.

Legacy event	Canonical event
`job.completed`	`task.succeeded`
`job.failed`	`task.failed`
`job.cancelled`	`task.canceled`
`job.dead_letter`	`task.failed` (plus `data.error.retryable: false`)
`job.running`	removed (poll `/v1/tasks/{id}` for progress)
`job.queued`	removed

See Webhooks for the full event envelope.

What’s covered by a version bump

New versions only ship for breaking response-shape changes. Additive changes — new endpoints, new optional request parameters, new response fields, new error codes within an existing error type — land at the current canonical version without a bump. Your client should tolerate unknown fields in responses so these additions don’t surprise it.

Breaking changes (new version ships)

Removing or renaming a response field
Removing an endpoint, path, or parameter
Changing a field’s type or shape
Tightening validation (new 400s for inputs that used to succeed)
Changing status vocabulary (e.g. completed → succeeded)
Changing default behavior of an existing parameter

Additive changes (no version bump)

New endpoint, path, or optional parameter
New response field (existing fields unchanged)
New optional request header
New code within an existing type on error responses
Loosened validation (fewer 400s)

Version bump policy

We ship additive version bumps. When a new canonical version lands:

The new version becomes the canonical (newest) — routes emit it natively.
The previous default stays supported for a sunset window (typically 2–3 weeks for small shape changes; longer for substantial ones).
On the sunset date, the older version retires (pinning it returns 400), and the default advances to whichever supported version is next-oldest.

Practical upshot: if you pin explicitly, you upgrade on your schedule. If you stay unpinned, you’ll track the current default and will see a shape change whenever the default advances — which we announce here with a calendar date well in advance.

Recommendations

Pin Moda-Version explicitly on every request in production. Don’t rely on the default — the default advances on sunset dates.
Log the response’s Moda-Version header so you can tell at a glance which version your traffic is actually hitting.
When you see 400 unsupported_version, read the supported list out of the error details — that’s the ground truth and updates automatically.
