StreetWorks and Street Manager v5

July 2024

Currently, HIAMS communicates to the Department of Transport’s (DfT) Street Manager via v4 of its API specification.

DfT have been actively developing v5 of Street Manager over the last 12 months.

It is anticipated that v5 will become stable and released to developers in late July. This enables WDM to develop HIAMS application suite to utilise the latest functionality introduced in v5. WDM will release our v5 compliant HIAMS application suite well before the deprecation of SM’s v4 API.

We will announce exact timings at our Street Works User group in September

Changes to v5 include:

New outcome statuses to inspections:
Joint site meeting needed
Reviewing dispute
No agreement
Inspection withdrawn
New investigatory works type has been added
New Inspection categories section_81_initial and section_81_follow_up
Private streets have been added
