Caldera REST API V2 - Changelog

  Info

The Caldera REST API is a way to interact with Caldera services by exchanging data (in JSON format) via HTTP protocol, which is common on the web. You may also want to read: 

 

April 2025

Version 2.1.0

  Warning

This version of the REST API is only compatible with CalderaRIP V18.1 or later.

Keep in mind that the REST API is exclusive to CalderaCare or GrandRIP MAX subscribers, which means that the use of any REST API service requires you to have the corresponding license.

New

Now CalderaRIP does not automatically save jobs sent via the REST API using the route POST /devices/{device}/jobs after execution.
Jobs will only be saved if you choose to do so, which helps to reduce memory usage on your computer.

   
New
Caldera REST API is now included in the GrandRIP MAX subscription.
   
 

  Good to know

The latest version of CalderaRIP includes fixes relevant to REST API users. For more information, see the changelog for that product.

November 2024

Version 2.0.0

  Warning

This version of the REST API is only compatible with CalderaRIP V18 or later.

Keep in mind that the REST API is exclusive to CalderaCare subscribers, which means that the use of any REST API service requires you to have the corresponding license

New

macOS Sequoia (version 15) is now officially supported.

   
New

Device endpoints now include printer (machine) statuses to enhance monitoring capabilities.
Please refer to the “Routes” section below for more information.

   
Improved

This release includes improved security controls and enhanced protection of sensitive data for users of the Caldera RIP service.

  Warning

Along with these improvements, the Caldera RIP service port has been changed (to 45344, instead of 45343).
If you are using the default configuration, no changes are expected as Caldera REST API will handle that change. If an unexpected behavior occurs, please review the dedicated article.

   
Improved

In some situations, the IDs of the REST API resources (service, device, job, etc.) may have changed over time. However, with this version of the Caldera REST API, the IDs remain stable over time.

   
Fixed

With this version, the Caldera REST API keeps a fetched device cache. This means devices are still listed if the service they are coming from goes offline.

   
Fixed

Fixed incorrect log directory permissions.

   
Fixed

Image ID Encoding Fixes:

  • Corrected the decoding and re-encoding logic for image IDs.
  • Removed a redundant substring (7) logic in the post-image process.
   
Fixed

Resolved setup problems on macOS Catalina (version 10.15)

 

Routes

New

GET /devices/{device}/information (Gets information about a device)

The new route is of special interest to users of workstations with CalderaRIP, as it exposes data about the loaded media, ink containers, waste ink containers, and heaters of some printers (except for HP, Canon Pro, Mutoh, and printers with a Grand license) in the REST API.

An external system, such as an ERP can now query that data.
