API

There is a mobile application that is released once a month. The application works through the API. This API can be updated for new applications, so there may be compatibility issues in the old version. How do you solve this problem?

I don’t make backward incompatible changes, I always think that something will have to be changed. In case you have to make an incompatible change, you have to release a new version of the API.

we always specified the version parameter in the api method;
if this is not present, we enter it - and for the compatibility of old versions in the api, we give (execute) the latest version for which the parameter has not yet been accepted.
With the base - the bases are different in structure, but according to the data they are similar, i.e. data is being duplicated
