Upcoming changes to CIS Person API (breaking change for certain API users)

Hello,

We are currently testing changes to the CIS Person API that modify the behavior of the /v2/users/id/all API route. This route currently returns list of user identifiers, however, it is not paginated.

While this worked fine so far, our next update of CIS will support far more users (almost 100, 000) and therefore this endpoint requires pagination as the response would otherwise be too large to handle. Unfortunately, it cannot work without pagination which means it’s a breaking change if you’re currently using it.

The few users of this route will be contacted (granted we have your contact information) directly as well.

Does this affect me?

  • If you are not using /v2/users/id/all you can disregard this message and you are not affected.
  • If you do not know what CIS API is, or do not use it, you are not affected.

It affects me, what should I do

These changes are now live. Note that we found no affected user of the API during the transition.
