Monday, August 26, 2019
The new fields in the API are detailed below. Currently, both the old and updated fields are available. However, we will stop supporting the old fields in the API on June 1, 2020. You will need to migrate any app(s) that use the affected fields before June 1, 2020, to make sure they continue to work.
The specific changes to the API are:
- In DriveOptions, "includeTeamDrives" is replaced with "includeSharedDrives".
- In HeldDriveQuery, "includeTeamDriveFiles" is replaced with "includeSharedDriveFiles".
- In SearchMethod, “TEAM_DRIVE” is replaced with “SHARED_DRIVE”.
- TeamDriveInfo has been replaced by SharedDriveInfo.
- Admins: See the documentation for the Vault API here.
- End users: No action needed
