Yesterday afternoon, Copernica disabled file downloads upon the discovery of a security risk by one of our users. The reporting user was able to download random files by manually altering URLs. To prevent abuse, all file downloads were disabled completely on the spot.
Copernica REST API coming soon
Besides our SOAP API , we’ll be offering Copernica users the option to use a REST API connection soon. The REST API will allow you to create applications that can access and modify all data in a Copernica account.
The biggest advantage opposed to a SOAP API is that a REST API is faster, more secure and requires less bandwidth usage. This’ll give developers that want to connect Copernica with another application more possibilities, like the option to design their own interface for the Copernica software.
Also, data will be exchanged more safely and secure, and especially large files will be transferred quicker from one application to the other.
