Camunda 8.6 REST API and merged Camunda REST API 8.7

Hello Camunda
We have identified we need to leverage Camunda’s REST APIs to manage process orchestration, as in, create a new process instance, assign user to this instance, etc and finally complete the process instance.

Camunda 8.6 REST APIs is a separate install and has endpoints for /operate, /tasklist, and Camunda APIs. In CamundaCon 2024 there was mention these set of APIs will be collapsed into a single set of REST APIs.

Our development starts immediately. Please provide guidance on best way to develop leveraging APIs 8.6.2, but a seamless transition to Camunda REST APIs 8.7. Would leveraging this https://korthout.github.io/camunda-platform-rest-api/docs/guides/getting-started be a safe approach?

Also, where is the latest link to REST API installation in a self-managed solution?

Thank you,
Atul

you can refer Camunda documentation for Rest API

I think you are talking about V2 where all the components will be merged into single components. As you can see the link above, some of them are available in V2 in alpha state.

The link you referred has Camunda artifacts, I would recommend to stick to Camunda documentation, that’s go to source for any information. You can start your development whatever available in V2, i assume many of them are available now. As all the modules are configurable, you can easily update the API endpoint later.

Thank you for your insights.
