	"plain_text": "Docker Engine API\r\nBy Docker Inc\r\nPublished: 2026-02-20 · Archived: 2026-04-06 00:52:58 UTC\r\nDocker provides an API for interacting with the Docker daemon (called the Docker Engine API), as well as SDKs\r\nfor Go and Python. The SDKs allow you to efficiently build and scale Docker apps and solutions. If Go or Python\r\ndon't work for you, you can use the Docker Engine API directly.\r\nFor information about Docker Engine SDKs, see Develop with Docker Engine SDKs.\r\nThe Docker Engine API is a RESTful API accessed by an HTTP client such as wget or curl , or the HTTP\r\nlibrary which is part of most modern programming languages.\r\nYou can view the reference for the latest version of the API or choose a specific version.\r\nThe version of the Docker Engine API you should use depends upon the version of your Docker daemon and\r\nDocker client.\r\nA given version of the Docker Engine SDK supports a specific version of the Docker Engine API, as well as all\r\nearlier versions. If breaking changes occur, they are documented prominently.\r\nThe Docker daemon and client don't necessarily need to be the same version at all times. However, keep\r\nthe following in mind.\r\nIf the daemon is newer than the client, the client doesn't know about new features or deprecated\r\nAPI endpoints in the daemon.\r\nIf the client is newer than the daemon, the client can request API endpoints that the daemon\r\ndoesn't know about.\r\nA new version of the API is released when new features are added. The Docker API is backward-compatible, so\r\nyou don't need to update code that uses the API unless you need to take advantage of new features.\r\nTo see the highest version of the API your Docker daemon and client support, use docker version :\r\nYou can specify the API version to use in any of the following ways:\r\nWhen using the SDK, use the latest version. At a minimum, use the version that incorporates the API\r\nversion with the features you need.\r\nWhen using curl directly, specify the version as the first part of the URL. For instance, if the endpoint is\r\n/containers/ you can use /v1.54/containers/ .\r\nTo force the Docker CLI or the Docker Engine SDKs to use an older version of the API than the version\r\nreported by docker version , set the environment variable DOCKER_API_VERSION to the correct version.\r\nhttps://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.41/#operation/ImageBuild\r\nPage 1 of 4\n\nThis works on Linux, Windows, or macOS clients.\r\nWhile the environment variable is set, that version of the API is used, even if the Docker daemon supports\r\na newer version. This environment variable disables API version negotiation, so you should only use it if\r\nyou must use a specific version of the API, or for debugging purposes.\r\nThe Docker Go SDK allows you to enable API version negotiation, automatically selects an API version\r\nthat's supported by both the client and the Docker Engine that's in use.\r\nFor the SDKs, you can also specify the API version programmatically as a parameter to the client\r\nobject. See the Go constructor or the Python SDK documentation for client .\r\nAPI version matrix\r\nDocker version Maximum API version Change log\r\n29.2 1.53 changes\r\n29.1 1.52 changes\r\n29.0 1.52 changes\r\n28.5 1.51 changes\r\n28.4 1.51 changes\r\n28.3 1.51 changes\r\n28.2 1.50 changes\r\n28.1 1.49 changes\r\n28.0 1.48 changes\r\n27.5 1.47 changes\r\n27.4 1.47 changes\r\n27.3 1.47 changes\r\n27.2 1.47 changes\r\n27.1 1.46 changes\r\n27.0 1.46 changes\r\n26.1 1.45 changes\r\n26.0 1.45 changes\r\n25.0 1.44 changes\r\nhttps://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.41/#operation/ImageBuild\r\nPage 2 of 4\n\nDocker version Maximum API version Change log\r\n24.0 1.43 changes\r\n23.0 1.42 changes\r\n20.10 1.41 changes\r\n19.03 1.40 changes\r\n18.09 1.39 changes\r\n18.06 1.38 changes\r\n18.05 1.37 changes\r\n18.04 1.37 changes\r\n18.03 1.37 changes\r\n18.02 1.36 changes\r\n17.12 1.35 changes\r\n17.11 1.34 changes\r\n17.10 1.33 changes\r\n17.09 1.32 changes\r\n17.07 1.31 changes\r\n17.06 1.30 changes\r\n17.05 1.29 changes\r\n17.04 1.28 changes\r\n17.03.1 1.27 changes\r\n17.03 1.26 changes\r\n1.13.1 1.26 changes\r\n1.13 1.25 changes\r\n1.12 1.24 changes\r\nDeprecated API versions\r\nAPI versions before v1.44 are deprecated.
