Python SDK v0.31.1 Changelog
Release Date: March 2026
What's New
This release updates the JournalEntryLineItem.type field to be nullable across the Journal Entries API, aligning the SDK with the actual API behavior where this field may be absent. It also adds bank_account support to the Accounting Employees API, allowing you to retrieve and set banking details for employees.
Summary of Changes
| Category | Description | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
journal_entries.list() / journal_entries.get(): line_items[].type changed from required enum to Optional |
Update code that assumes .type is always present |
|
journal_entries.create() / journal_entries.update(): line_items[].type input field is now Optional |
No action if you were already omitting it | |
| New field | bank_account added to Accounting Employee responses and request inputs |
None — new optional field |
Detailed Changes by API
Accounting — Journal Entries
line_items[].type is now Optional (Breaking)
What changed: The type field on JournalEntryLineItem has changed from a required non-nullable enum to Optional[JournalEntryLineItemType]. This affects responses from journal_entries.list() and journal_entries.get(), and input objects for journal_entries.create() and journal_entries.update().
Impact: If your code accesses .type directly without a null check, it may raise an AttributeError at runtime when the field is absent.
# Before — unsafe
for item in entry.line_items:
print(item.type.value) # may raise AttributeError
# After — safe
for item in entry.line_items:
if item.type is not None:
print(item.type.value)Accounting — Employees
bank_account field added
What changed: A new bank_account field is available on AccountingEmployee objects returned by employees.list() and employees.get(). You can also supply it when creating or updating employees.
Impact: None — new optional field, existing code continues to work.
employee = apideck.accounting.employees.get(id="12345").data
if employee.bank_account:
print(employee.bank_account.account_number)Migration Checklist
- Update dependency:
uv add apideck-unify==0.31.1 - Search your codebase for
.typeaccess onJournalEntryLineItemobjects - Add null guards where
line_items[].typeis accessed - Run your test suite
