Changelog
All notable changes to the current API will be documented here. See: API Lifecycle.
Changes that affect multiple APIs are documented in the general changelog.
December 2024
- Webhook improvements:
We have stopped sending
failureCode
,failureText
andchargeExternalId
from charge webhook payloads if they would have been null.
November 2024
-
Webhook improvements: We have expanded Agreement and Charge webhooks with the
msn
(Merchant Serial Number) property. See Recurring API event types -
Stopping agreements in the Vipps app released on November 4, 2024. Please read stopping an agreement in the Vipps MobilePay app and see what it looks like in the app. See also: Recurring API FAQ: Can we opt out of showing Stop payment agreement in the app?
-
Landing page: More robust handling of retries. See General changelog for details.
September 2024
- List agreements v3 endpoint now supports pagination using the
pageNumber
andpageSize
query parameters. See List Agreements endpoint We recommend that you use thepageNumber
andpageSize
query to paginate the response. If not used, it could result in increased response times when the number of agreements is more. The chances of causing instabilities to other endpoints cannot be ruled out either. Also, the API endpoint allows merchants to fetch all agreements. If no query status is supplied, it will default to only retrieving the active agreements. There is no way to list all agreements with all statuses, due to performance.
