DEPRECATION POLICY

  1. Laminar Data Services and Data Products subject to this policy are the endpoints and responses documented from time to time for public use on the Developer portal (http://developer.laminardata.aero/documentation).

  2. The Laminar Data Services and Data Products are versioned according to the number in the endpoint URL e.g. laminardata.aero/v3/. The current version is version 1 and versions 0.5 and 0.9 are now fully deprecated. Our commitments to continue to provide access to the Services and Data Products will apply separately to the endpoints and responses within each version published now and in future.

  3. Within each version of the Services and Data Products, we aim to make no breaking (backwards incompatible) changes to the request or response structures within each API version. We may make breaking changes in the following circumstances:

3.2 where the Content is withdrawn or significantly changed by a data supplier, in which case we will give one month’s notice of the change or the amount of notice given by the data supplier to us, whichever is the lesser;

3.3 where the stability of the Service is affected by a current request or response structure, in which case we will give as much notice as is reasonably possible;

3.4 where there is a significant need among customers for a change, in which case we will give three months notice through regular developer communications

  1. We may make non-breaking changes to the request and response structures at any time, in which case we will notify you within a month of making the change through regular developer communications.

  2. If we make changes to the request or response structures we will publish this within a month in our documentation on the developer portal at https://developer.laminardata.aero.
