New item type “prototyping_screen” returned instead of “frame” - not mentioned in changelog or docs

Hi,

I’ve recently noticed a change in the Miro API behavior regarding frames.


Until about a week ago, frames created in the UI using the “Mobile”, “Tablet”, or “Desktop” presets were returned from the API as items of type frame. However, since yesterday, these items are no longer returned as frame - instead, the API now returns them as prototyping_screen.

There’s no mention of this change in the changelog, and the API documentation for Get items on board still lists the possible item types as:

app_card, card, data_table_format, document, embed, frame, image, shape, sticky_note, text, doc_format

with no reference to prototyping_screen.

 

Could someone from the Miro team confirm whether this change is intentional?
Will there be other related changes to item types, and when can we expect the changelog and documentation to be updated?

Thanks in advance.

@dewaver While I can't confirm if the change was intentional, I believe it was, and it's causing issues for other users too:
