Hello Tim, Thanks for checking back. We do review forum posts and respond when time permits.
This is actually a result of a bug in our storage system which failed to pick up the exif from one of the processing backends, but the problem is fixed and we are running through the photos effected by this bug and restoring the exif. This might take a little while (days to weeks) but you should see the exif reappear once your photos have been reprocessed. This is a backend issue and not an API issue, so please be assured that there were no unannounced changes to the API. Thank you, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. -m.e.
