Changelog - August

📢 Vital API Updates

Timeseries Read API Changes

• The heartrate_variability option in /v2/timeseries is now deprecated.
• Recommendation: Switch to using hrv.

Vital API Schema Evolution

• We're refining the distinction between Source and Provider.
• Source: Indicates where a specific summary or timeseries value originates.
• Provider: Represents platforms or entities that Vital interfaces with.
• Key Changes:
• In the Source object, the slug is now provider.
• Deprecated Fields: In the Source object, the name, slug, and logo fields are now deprecated. This impacts all summary types.
• Some Provider objects were mistakenly labeled as source. We're initiating a deprecation cycle for these instances.

Timeseries Value Type Field Adjustments

• The type field now denotes Measurement Types, specifically for Cholesterol, IGG, and IGE.
• For Cholesterol, IGG, and IGE: No changes.
• For Glucose: type will still represent Source Types for now. A future update will bring changes.
• For other timeseries types: type will consistently return null.
