The API Versioning options allows you to configure, customize, and extend the default behaviors when you add API versioning to your application.

ApiVersioningOptions has the following configuration settings:

1: This member is on MvcApiVersioningOptions in ASP.NET Core because Minimal APIs do not require it

Assume Default Version When Unspecified

This option enables support for clients to make requests with implicit API versioning. This option is disabled by default, which means that all clients must send requests with an explicit API version. Services will respond to client requests that do not specify an API version with either HTTP status code 400 (Bad Request) or HTTP status code 404 (Not Found), depending whether the requested route exists.

This option should only be enabled when supporting legacy services that did not previously support API versioning. Forcing existing clients to specify an explicit API version for an existing service introduces a breaking change. Conceptually, clients in this situation are bound to some API version of a service, but they don't know what it is and never explicit request it.

When this option is enabled, clients will be able to make a request without specifying a specific API version. The API version of the service that is selected will be based on the configured IApiVersionSelector.

Default API Version

This option defines what the default ApiVersion will be for a service without explicit API version information. This is useful for services that use implicit API versioning in their initial release. This value can also be used for services that may be defined in external assemblies that are not decorated with any API version information. The configured, default value is 1.0.

services.AddApiVersioning( options => options.DefaultApiVersion = new ApiVersion( 2.0 ) );

Report API Versions

This option enables sending the api-supported-versions and api-deprecated-versions HTTP header in responses. When this option is enabled, it will add the ReportApiVersionsAttribute as a global action filter to the application configuration. This option is disabled by default.

services.AddApiVersioning( options => options.ReportApiVersions = true );

Conventions

Applies to ASP.NET Web API and ASP.NET Core with MVC (Core) only

This option allows you to construct API version conventions for each of your services as opposed to using .NET attributes. You can also choose to additionally use .NET attributes and the union of both sets of defined API version information will be applied. The default convention builders can be extended and/or replaced in this option. For more information on using conventions see the API version conventions topic.

Route Constraint Name

This option allows you to change the name of the API version route constraint. The default name is apiVersion.

Policies

This option allows you to define API versioning policies. This is primarily used to define sunset policies about when an API version will be completely sunset. Related links, such as to a public policy web page, can also be reported that may be useful to clients for more information about your API policies.

Unsupported API Version Status Code

This option allows you to configure the HTTP status code used when an unsupported API version is requested. The default value is 400 (Bad Request).

While any HTTP status code can be used, the following are the most sensible:

Status Code Meaning Description
400 Bad Request The API doesn't support this version
404 Not Found The API doesn't exist
501 Not Implemented The API isn't implemented

Remarks

Regardless of the configured option, when versioning by:

  • URL segment, 404 is always returned
  • media type, 406 or 415 is always returned
