    One key challenge is backwards compatibility.

    Another is identifying the client version making the API request.
    And using a consistent version numbering format.

    I am reminded of an often frustrating software incompatibility problem:
    Your version 3.4.5LTS is not supported, version 3.3.0 or greater is required.
    In this case the software could not evaluate if 5LTS >= 0.
