Change history
Date Change
01/09/2021

Released to production

Implementation of circular changes for September 2021.

05/04/2019

Correction to documentation, Hook Space Metres from 'Mandatory' to 'Conditional'.

21/12/2018

Released to production

10/12/2018

Changed validation on 'Hook Space Metres' - optional for method Dahn Line - DL. 

11/06/2018

Added new fields; 'Fishing Under HSP' and 'Autolining'

Changed validation on 'Number of Hooks' to be Must be greater than 0

Removed reference to Non Fish Protected Species Catches - this is now a seperate event

11/09/2017

Updated the GET URL to include the Software Installation Id and Completer User Id parameters.

Added Completed by Name to the Get request body.

31/08/2017 Included Completer User Id in the event header section of the payload and updated validation for attribute Software Installation Id.
29/08/2017 Updated Request Header to include Signature instead of Bearer Token.
21/08/2017 Three fields (software vendor, software version, software installation ID) have been moved from the request header to the event header parameters and a new field (client number) has also been added here. 
20/07/2017 Attribute Hook Space Metres validation changed to allow decimal.
14/07/2017 Attribute Hook Space Cm relabelled to Hook Space Metres.
05/07/2017 Changed the way we display the event header parameters in this API documentation. All parameters that are used in the event header array were moved from the Request Body Parameters table to a new Event Header Parameters table. This better reflects their use as displayed in the Request Body Example. No parameter names were changed and the current API format was not changed.
28/06/2017 Updated NFPS parameter field names from 'Count Injured', 'Count Uninjured' and 'Count Dead' to ''Number Injured', 'Number Uninjured' and 'Number Dead'.
16/06/2017 Trip ID field added to the API actions CREATE, GET and UPDATE. Schema Edition and Event Version fields added to the API action GET. Some field name changes. Grouping of locations and dates into Geolocation Set Parameters and Geolocation Parameters.
29/05/2017 Initial publication.
