How to Handle API Integrations When a Provider Adds a New Required Field

A provider can reject existing requests when a schema change adds a required value that consumers do not send.

Checks to make

Review the provider change notice, identify impacted clients, map a trustworthy source for the new field, and validate requests in a test environment. Deploy consumers before enforcement, monitor validation errors, and avoid inventing values to bypass requirements.
