Launch Library API v1.2 is now in open beta

Hi folks,

We've added some new data points to our api returns in the 1.2 version. You can find the documentation here: http://launchlibrary.net/1.2/docs/api.html

Calls should be made the same, and the return structures should be the same (with some new properties), so for the most part, you should be able to simply change your urls from 1.1 to 1.2 to begin checking.

Please keep in mind this is open beta. If we find any glaring bugs during this time, we may take it down temporarily while fixing. The current plan is to end the open beta in the beginning of April and cement it in. There are currently no plans to remove either 1.0 or 1.1, so you do not need to move at this time, however you will miss out in the newer data.

• More URLs! Launches can have multiple video URLs. You can check the new vidURLs array in verbose launches.

• Even more URLs! Everywhere there was an infoURL field, there is now also an infoURLs array.

• Launches now have tbdtime and tbddate, to show whether we are unsure about the time of the launch, the date, or both.

• Launches now have a hold reason, failure reason, probability of launch, and hashtag properties.

• We are now hosting free to use rocket images (where available, where not, we're hosting a placeholder image you can use). See the documentation on how to use them (but seriously, PLEASE cache it and not pull every time). *Edit: as rightly pointed out to me, I should note that image gathering is still currently in it's early stages. We're still out gathering images that are free for you to use.

If you run across any missing behavior from before, or notice anything wrong, feel free to reply in this thread and we'll get on it as soon as we can, thanks.
