FAIR Data Services Version 2.45.0

First Released: 24 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

These changes may impact users who create datasets via the FAIR API. If you believe this will impact you please contact your Customer Success Manager.
