Accept Header
The accept header is used to select between Bugcrowd APIs (v3 and v4). The default API is currently v3. To use our new and improved v4 API use:
Accept: application/vnd.bugcrowd.v4+json
Other accept headers used
The current default version (v3) will be used for either of the following two accept headers:
Accept: application/json
# or
Accept: application/vnd.bugcrowd+json
Alternatively, the following header will specify the API as v3 (this will be required to stay on v3 when it is no longer the default):
Accept: application/vnd.bugcrowd.v3+json
or opt into the new v4 API as mentioned above with:
Accept: application/vnd.bugcrowd.v4+json
Bugcrowd-Version Header
Within the v4 API we use a date-based naming scheme (2020-10-31) that can be pinned to the access token here. To test out a newer version before changing the pinned version in settings, use the Bugcrowd-Version header:
Bugcrowd-Version: 2020-10-31
Content Types
The Bugcrowd API always returns the following Content-Type header.
Content-Type: application/json
Additional Media Headers
Each response from the API will contain a custom Bugcrowd header specifying the type of media returned in the response body:
X-Bugcrowd-Media-Type: bugcrowd.v4; format=json
Each v4 response will contain a custom header specifying the Bugcrowd-Version being used:
X-Bugcrowd-Version: 2020-10-31
