Backporting v3 API to civicrm 3.2.3?
April 05, 2011, 02:42:25 pm
Is this even possible?  There are some newer functions I would like to use, and I know you'll ask why don't I just upgrade to 3.4 but there is a lot of custom code that has to upgraded as well but need this feature now.

How much work would this be, is it worth spending the time? Or should I just spend the time adding the custom stuff that I need?

Most of the v3 api's already exists in v2. So if you are not able to upgrade, you should consider using v2 api or if anything is missing use BAO methods.

I have backported apiv3 onto every site I work on. I recommend you spend 10 minutes backporting API V3 per this thread rather than using apiv2. Apart from the fact your code will last longer it will also be quicker to write

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,19205.0.html

I haven't backported it onto anything earlier than v3.3 but I would expect it to work on 3.2 sites with rare exceptions

Documentation is here

(NB backporting is also a good option so that you can upgrade your custom code to use it prior to upgrading)

I'd recommend backporting the apiv3!
