[Japan only] Upcoming API response field addition

Effective July 13, 2026, we will add a new string field, ssid, to the responses of the SoraCam:getSoraCamDevice API and SoraCam:listSoraCamDevices API.

This is an additive change. Existing fields and behavior will remain unchanged, and clients that ignore unknown response fields should not be affected.

If your client performs strict response validation, exact JSON matching, or rejects unknown fields, please update it to tolerate additional fields in API responses.

We recommend that API clients ignore unknown fields in responses to remain compatible with future additive changes.

Please note that this service is currently only available for customers located in Japan.
