11.5.0

With the release of Picturepark 11.6, each customer will have their own unique DNS name for API access. To ensure your integration continues to work seamlessly after the migration to Azure, please update your API host to the customer's specific API host shown in the customer info tab in Picturepark or the per-cloud API host (available from support@picturepark.com).

With this release - Picturepark 11.6 - we're introducing the possibility to connect directly to a customer's API/integration host
Each customer will have its own DNS name for API access
If your integration targets a specific customer, please use the API host shown in the customer info tab in Picturepark.
If your integration targets multiple customers on the same cloud instance, please use the per-cloud API host. Request this key from support@picturepark.com.
If your integration targets multiple customers in different cloud instances, either
- run a single instance, mapping specific customers to per-cloud api hosts
- run an instance per picturepark cloud-instance and target the per-cloud api host
While the current API host will continue to work when we release 11.6, we suggest that you apply this change soon after, as we will begin moving customers between cloud instances afterwards

We will start moving customers to Azure, migration slots are not defined yet. Using the correct API host will ensure that your integration will continue to work with no changes needed on your side.
