Pick a scheme
Use path versions for major breaks; prefer headers for gradual evolution.
Signal deprecations
Add deprecation headers and timelines; publish change logs.
Support migrations
Provide side-by-side responses or adapters; share client snippets.
Sunset cleanly
Remove old versions only after clear notice and monitored adoption.
