>> Setting a header parameter to a specific date is a PITA

Really? Don't you do this all the time for everything beyond a simple GET? From my experience it's far preferable than URL versioning because you can version on an individual endpoint. Right now I'm consuming Versions 0.9, 1.0 and 2.0 from a vendor; it would be way nicer to set individual headers than somehow mananging multiple endpoints.

I’m not saying that it’s difficult, just that it’s a pain in the rear end. You can’t cut and paste calls, you have to have two variables to see the version. It’s just minor annoyances.

That being said, I don’t call multiple versions of an api so maybe it’s nice to just be able to call multiples.

I imagine that it’s pretty easy to manage with the url version as you’re still just storing one endpoint and appending the version depending on what you would like. So programmatically you just change a config variable with the version you want.

But it seems like the version on changes with breaks so if you’re calling different versions you have to handle the input and output differently anyway.

I don't understand the difference. What makes it nicer?
