Heroku new API for Release doesn't have commit hash - api

Question

The question is about the new heroku API structure:
"Accept":"application/vnd.heroku+json; version=3"
If I asked for the release data I get that one:
{
"app":{"id":"b3d70761-ee7f-4039-91ac-402d2f9d12b6","name":"some-name"},
"created_at":"2015-03-22T07:33:18Z",
"description":"Set COMMIT_HASH config vars",
"id":"610f896a-3f34-44af-b39a-43070f02891f",
"slug":{"id":"2e8e024d-4ffa-44ff-8da9-5accd3874a5e"},"updated_at":"2015-03-22T07:33:18Z",
"user":{"email":"tmp#mail.com","id":"7d46e391-63ca-4b19-b4e4-96fec8487f77"},
"version":507
}
The only problem here is that there is no
git commit hash , which does exist in the old
structure. Which looks like that:
"addons": [
"newrelic:stark",
"rediscloud:100",
"redistogo:nano",
"deployhooks:http"
],
"commit": "9a627af", <<===
"created_at": "2015/03/18 11:52:58 -0700",
"descr": "Deploy 9a627af",
"env": {
},
"name": "v461",
"pstable": {
"web": "java -Dkeyvalue.datasource=redis $JAVA_OPTS -jar build/libs/some.jar --server.port=$PORT"
},
"user": "tmp#tmp.com"
So for now I have to use both structures
and eventually 2 versions of the same api:
Any ideas for any alternative ?
Thanks in advance

I believe the API now returns a Slug for a Release, and you can look up that Slug for the commit.
