Faster authenticated requests
Requests made with an API key are now served with far less work behind the scenes.
- ChangedRequests authenticated with an API key are now verified from a short-lived cache rather than re-checked from scratch every time, which makes them noticeably quicker. Revoking or rotating a key, and suspending an account, still take effect immediately.
- ChangedThe "Last used" time shown against an API key now updates at most once a minute rather than on every single request.
Notification delivery and connector reliability
Email notifications now reach every member, duplicates are gone, and connectors recover on their own.
- FixedSome members were not receiving email notifications at all. Their account had no delivery destination, so digests and alerts were recorded but never sent.
- FixedThe same event could appear more than once in your notifications.
- FixedDaily digest entries older than seven days were never delivered, and could stop a member's digest being sent at all.
- FixedTurning the daily digest off could not be undone. You can switch it back on from notification settings.
- FixedA connector whose session had expired kept retrying that session instead of reconnecting. Connectors now reconnect on their own.
- ChangedAn email destination is now added when you verify your address, rather than when you create the account, so notifications are never sent to an address that has not been confirmed.
- ChangedAPI responses are now compressed, cutting transfer size by roughly three quarters.
- ChangedThe community catalogue list no longer returns each dataset type's field contract, verification settings and sample assets. Request a single dataset type to retrieve them.
- ChangedThe connector token endpoint now applies a rate limit. A client repeatedly presenting an expired credential is asked to slow down instead of retrying without limit.
