DirectLine REST API changed (channelData field is not a string )

Question

According to the DirectLine API documentation, the channelData field in the message object should be a string: http://docs.botframework.com/sdkreference/restapi-directline/#!/Conversations/Conversations_GetMessages

It used to be the case but since yesterday the API returns a JSON object.

Is this API versioned? It would help to be able to specify a version in the headers or the URL to avoid this kind of breaking change in the future.

This actually is a doc bug. The API didn't work in most cases before and the fact that it was spitting out a string prior to this change is a surprise to me. Sorry for the break. — Dan Driscoll

No, the API is not versioned, but we will add this so you can control it.
