Announcement5.0.0-beta.1

Cloudflare Python SDK v5.0.0-beta.1

Cloudflare Python SDK v5.0.0-beta.1 introduces significant breaking changes driven by OpenAPI definition improvements and codegen updates. The release includes many new API resources and endpoints, along with fixes to type system compatibility, request/response handling, and data parsing.

Disclaimer: Please note that v5.0.0-beta.1 is in Beta and we are still testing it for stability.

Full Changelog: v4.3.1...v5.0.0-beta.1 ↗

In this release, you'll see a large number of breaking changes. This is primarily due to a change in OpenAPI definitions, which our libraries are based off of, and codegen updates that we rely on to read those OpenAPI definitions and produce our SDK libraries. As the codegen is always evolving and improving, so are our code bases.

There may be changes that are not captured in this changelog. Feel free to open an issue to report any inaccuracies, and we will make sure it gets into the changelog before the v5.0.0 release.

Most of the breaking changes below are caused by improvements to the accuracy of the base OpenAPI schemas, which sometimes translates to breaking changes in downstream clients that depend on those schemas.

Please ensure you read through the list of changes below and the migration guide before moving to this version - this will help you understand any down or upstream issues it may cause to your environments.
