Zendesk Assets API changes purchase_cost from a number to an amount-and-currency object
From 6 August 2026, Zendesk Assets API responses return purchase_cost as an object containing amount and currency rather than a plain numeric value.
Previous state
The purchase_cost field returned a plain numeric value.
Current state
The purchase_cost field returns an object with separate amount and currency values.
Affected users
Who needs to care
Integrations that deserialize, validate, store or calculate with the Assets API purchase_cost field as a number.
Required response
What to do
Update response models, schema validators, persistence and downstream calculations to handle the amount-and-currency object before 6 August 2026.
Evidence boundary
What the source does not prove
This is a field-level response-schema change in the Assets API; it does not remove the asset object or establish changes to unrelated cost fields.
