Our API examples provide details how to retrieve such data from your API calls. Same time we decided make lives of our customers way easier and introduce Action Links.
Introducing Action Links
Action links are pre-cooked URLs for specific API calls. You can find them throughout the App via the following icon
Once you click on it you will see available options for specific actions and URLs to copy, e.g.
By clicking on copy button we will copy a URL into your clipboard.
Example of URL looks like the following
https://rmcloud-stg.releasemanagement.app/api/1/board/65294f43659255689bc5e2ec/version/18792/move?columnId=65294f436592558720c5e2db
This allows you to move particular version into particular column. You can also use it in your automation script for any version if you have a way to determine versionid.

Do not forget about API token (!)

Long term (up to 1 year) Personal API token that is part of our App Advanced Edition scope.
