# mongoc\_client\_set\_server\_api(3)

## SYNOPSIS

```
bool
mongoc_client_set_server_api (mongoc_client_t *client,
                              const mongoc_server_api_t *api,
                              bson_error_t *error);
```

Set the API version to use for **client**. Once the API version is set on a client, it may not be changed to a new value. Attempting to do so will cause this method to fail and set **error**.

## PARAMETERS

- •

  **client**: A *mongoc\_client\_t*.

- •

  **api**: A *mongoc\_server\_api\_t*.

- •

  **error**: A *bson\_error\_t*.

## RETURNS

True if the version was successfully set, false if not. On failure, **error** will be set.
