What, no option for 'duct tape and hope for the best'? That's my go-to solution for API changes!

I'm with Gail on this one. Better play it safe and get the details from the API producer. Can't be too careful, you know?

Option B sounds like the best call to me. Gotta understand those changes before making any updates to the client code. Don't want to break anything!

Hmm, I think option D is the way to go. No need to run a full regression test if the endpoint didn't change, right? I'll just check the release notes and see if there's anything I need to update.
