API Release Notes, October 2024

New This Month

Deep links no longer require the subdomain in the deep link url (ex. us2, eu2). The subdomain can be replaced with www, users will be directed to the correct subdomain for their company.

Sample deep link url after the change is implemented: https://www.concursolutions.com/goto/air-shop?departurelocation=48.85694273527786,2.3501079080340315&departuredate=2024-06-01&departuretime=02:00&returnlocation=SDU

Hotel Deep Link supports GDS and CHS hotel property IDS using the parameter location coupled with the content source (for example, SABRE, AMADEUS,CWT) using locationsource. The deep link user will land on the hotel shopping results with the requested hotel at the top of the list when the GDS is the content source. (CHS providers determine the hotel sort order.)

The user will be prompted to input the departure airport when the departure is excluded in the deep link and the home airport is not populated in the user profile. Users will have the option to save the airport to their profile. If the deep link contains the departure airport, we will use the airport in the deep link when displaying air shopping results. If the deep link is missing the departure airport and home airport is populated in the profile, then home airport will be used for the departure airport. The user will be prompted to input the destination airport if the destination airport is missing from the deep link.

We have released an update to the Expense Entry v3 API to add a new ExpenseID field, which is the unique identifier of the expense entry that is being retrieved. The new field will support Expenses v4 endpoints. The previous ID field will continue to support v3 endpoints.

Preview: New Client SSL Certificate for ESS webhook.api.concursolutions.com

Overview

In an effort to ensure the ongoing security of our products and services, on October 22, 2024, ESS will be issuing a new webhook.api.concursolutions.com SSL certificate. We will always use the same client x509 certificate (until Oct 22, 2024 it will be Expiring x509 certificate). The common name is C=US, ST=Washington, L=Bellevue, O=Concur Technologies, Inc., CN=webhook.api.concursolutions.com and the certificate serial number is 015867318CAA347FBC6288C29E9CB35B (until Oct 22, 2024 it will be 0804AA16E0BAAD2B86F75421A13FCC68).

Any customer who has pinned this expiring certificate will need to update to the new certificate prior to the expiration date. If the pinned certificate is not updated prior, your organization and users will experience disruption to SAP Concur products and services. Customers who have not pinned the certificate do not need to take any action as the new certificate is updated automatically. Most customers do not pin the certificate.
