Hi everyone! Unfortunately this is one of my announcements that doesn’t include a new feature launch, sorry. :slightly_frowning_face: However, this one is much more important to read, as it is guaranteed to cause your code to break. Asana currently uses numerical IDs for all references, but we are…

We resolved the issue and as of noon PST yesterday, the Asana API no longer supports numeric IDs. It’s been two years since we started planning this deprecation and 18 months since we first published communications about it. Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding throughout this t…

Said a guy who’s going to get to do a lot of manual labor since php-asana no longer seems to function, and sorting out how to make it work again is a task I’m giving up on.

@ctam —Sorry for the trouble there. I’m not sure what’s wrong but I’ll pass this along to the engineer responsible for the Ruby client library who will investigate. @Adam_Lambert —I’m sorry that this deprecation caught you off-guard. We tried our best to communicate these changes through a number of …

Sometime between when we did all the engineering and testing work for string IDs about 10 months ago and when we activated the string ID change this past month, we introduced a bug in our configuration. This impact of this bug is that only some routes …

Hello all, Upon assessing the fallout from the most recent “bump” (which properly affected the entire API) we have decided that changing the default behavior across the entire API tomorrow as scheduled would negatively affect far more of our users than we’re comfortable with. As such we are cancell…

Thanks for the update, good luck :wink:

Right? I just read and felt like… ohh man you don’t have anything better to do than making us redo all our stuff?
