Changelog

This page lists changes made to the Web API and its documentation.

Listed below are all the changes to the SeaTable API. Each date corresponds to a new version of SeaTable Server Enterprise Edition. If you’re looking for changes beyond the API, see the SeaTable Changelog or check out the SeaTable Blog for detailed release notes.

Version 5.0 (15.07.2024)

We recommend using the new /api-gateway/ endpoints. These endpoints are faster because they check if the base has remained unchanged since the last request, allowing for quicker responses.

🚧

Breaking changes

  • Get Row and List Rows: Link now returns an array containing display_value and row_id instead of a string with only the display_value. This change harmonizes the output with Get Row and List Rows with SQL endpoints.
  • Get Row and List Rows: Link Formula now returns the right output type depending of the result. Single numbers are returned as integers, multiple values as arrays. This change harmonizes the output of the Get Row, List Rows and List Rows with SQL endpoints.

👍

Other changes

  • Get Row: All column values are now consistently returned. If a value is not defined, null is returned instead of omitting the value.
  • List Rows: All column values are now consistently returned. If a value is not defined, null is returned instead of omitting the value.
  • Query SeaTable with SQL: Now supports parameters to protect against SQL injection.

Version 4.4 (15.05.2024)

Base Operations (from 4.4)

Starting with version 4.4, SeaTable introduced a new component to SeaTable Server: the API Gateway. It introduces several new API endpoints and improvements to existing ones, creating a more streamlined experience for all base operations. You can identify the new endpoints by their URLs, which include /api-gateway/. The old API endpoints for dtable-server and dtable-db are still valid and could be used.

🚧

Breaking changes

  • data collection table calls (user) were removed. This was done because data collection tables will be disabled in general with version 5.0. In SeaTable Cloud this feature was never available.
  • Get Row: _mtime and _ctime are not returned if these column types are defined in this base. This is to harmonize the output with List Rows and List Rows with SQL.

👍

Other changes

  • List Rows: The options order_by and direction were removed to avoid conflict situations with a selected view.
  • API-Gateway calls now return the current api usage and limits via X-header.
