How to upgrade between StakeAPI versions smoothly.

Versioning Policy

StakeAPI follows Semantic Versioning:

  • Major (x.0.0) — Breaking changes
  • Minor (0.x.0) — New features, backwards compatible
  • Patch (0.0.x) — Bug fixes, backwards compatible

Upgrading StakeAPI

Using pip

# Upgrade to latest
pip install --upgrade stakeapi

# Upgrade to specific version
pip install stakeapi==0.2.0

# Check current version
python -c "import stakeapi; print(stakeapi.__version__)"

Migration: Pre-release → v0.1.0

If you were using StakeAPI before the official v0.1.0 release:

Import Changes

# Old (if applicable)
from stake_api import Client

# New (v0.1.0+)
from stakeapi import StakeAPI

Client Initialization

# Old
client = Client(api_key="your_key")

# New (v0.1.0+)
client = StakeAPI(access_token="your_token")

Balance Method

# Old
balance = await client.get_balance()

# New (v0.1.0+) — returns structured dict
balance = await client.get_user_balance()
# Returns: {"available": {...}, "vault": {...}}

Context Manager

# Old — manual cleanup
client = Client(api_key="key")
balance = await client.get_balance()
await client.close()

# New (v0.1.0+) — async context manager
async with StakeAPI(access_token="token") as client:
    balance = await client.get_user_balance()
# Session closed automatically
