First released: 24th September 2025
Summary
This release contains a number of minor back end changes.
Upcoming items
As detailed in previous release notes, FAIR will shortly be introducing a significant change to the way data files and attachments are managed. This will give data owners far more control over the visibility and availability of all files associated with a dataset.
As part of this change the API endpoints for managing data files and dataset attachments are being merged, the effected endpoints are detailed below:
| Removed Endpoints | Replacement |
|---|---|
GET datasets/{code}/datafiles | GET /datasets/{code}/attachments |
GET /datasets/{code}/datafiles/{id} | GET /datasets/{code}/attachments/{id} |
DELETE /datasets/{code}/datafiles/{id} | DELETE /datasets/{code}/attachments/{id} |
GET /datasets/{code}/datafiles/{id}/dictionary | GET /datasets/{code}/attachments/{id}/dictionary |
POST /datasets/{code}/datafiles/{id}/ingest | POST /datasets/{code}/attachments/{id}/ingest |
GET /files/datasets/{code}/datafiles/{id} | GET /files/datasets/{code}/attachments/{id} |
POST /files/datasets/{code}/datafiles | POST /files/datasets/{code}/attachments |
