v2.1 API broken

TWO ISSUES:

(1)

Retrieving (GET) an Organisation using v2.1 seems to be broken:

Retrieving (GET) the same Organisation using the v2.2 API seems to have all the Custom Fields and updated top-level properties

(2)

Updating (PUT) an Organisation using the v2.1 API using the 'Brief=True' does not seem to work. This works as advertised when using the v2.2 API

Quite frankly, I have not been able to get the 'Brief' query string parameter to work at all with the v2.1 API

Hello Sandeep,

1) API v2.1 only supports custom fields of type Text, Dropdown and Date. Could you provide more information what top-level properties are not returned?

2) For v2.1, "Brief=true" parameter only works with GET calls that return list of entities (for example, https://api.insight.ly/v2.1/Help/Api/GET-Organisations_ids_domain_tag).

Hope this helps!

Hi Sushamna,

Thank you for clarifying the use of 'Brief' parameter with v2.1. It does seem limited to a few end points and use cases.

Broken or not, there is definitely discrepancy in the v2.1 API output compared to the newer version 2.2. The screenshots below show:
1. Some high level properties (EDITABLE, VISIBLE, CAN_EDIT, CAN_DELETE, SOCIAL_LINKEDIN, SOCIAL_FACEBOOK, SOCIAL_TWITTER) are not included in the v2.1 result.
2. Some high level properties (EMAILLINKS) are included in v2.1 but not in v2.2
3. Some high level properties (IMAGE_URL) have different values in v2.1 compared to v2.2. At one point, I had even noticed that the 'BACKGROUND' property value was still the old value and not refreshed when accessing using v2.1 while v2.2 showed the updated value.
4. Some CustomFields (ORGANIZATION_FIELD_3, ORGANIZATION_FIELD_5) are entirely skipped from the v2.1 result !!
