This guide outlines our approach to versioning and deprecation, helping developers
build stable and future-proof integrations.

API Versioning

Starting July 2025, ShipBob is adopting a date-based versioning scheme
using the format:

YYYY-MM

Current Version

  • Latest Version: 2026-01
  • Base URL Format: https://api.shipbob.com/2026-01/

Release Schedule

  • A new version will be released every 6 months (January and July).
  • Each version will be supported for 12 months from its release date.

Legacy Version Deprecation

ShipBob previously used semantic versioning (1.0 and2.0).
These versions are now deprecated.
