Bug Fixes
10High-accuracy extraction cache matching
We resolved an issue where long documents with identical starting text could trigger incorrect cache hits. The extraction cache now evaluates the entirety of your content to guarantee perfectly accurate cached results.
Accurate refunds for extraction failures
We corrected billing behaviors to ensure you receive a complete refund when a cache-only request returns a miss. We also fixed an over-refund discrepancy that could occur during content transformation failures.
Reliable rate limits after top-ups
We fixed a bug where requests failing due to insufficient funds were improperly consuming your rate-limit slots. You will no longer encounter unexpected rate-limit errors immediately after topping up a low account balance.
Precise Refunds for Failures
We corrected the credit logic for failed extraction requests to ensure refunds match the actual charge applied. Your account balance will now reflect the correct credit amount even when usage caps are active.
Accurate Cache Hit Credits
Billing credits for cached responses now account for your specific account cost limits. This ensures that your billing history remains perfectly synchronized and consistent with your actual usage.
Standardized Modal Accessibility
Updated interactive elements to follow industry-standard accessibility protocols, ensuring a better experience for developers using assistive technologies. This includes improved support for screen readers during platform navigation.
General UI and consistency improvements
Resolved various minor visual inconsistencies across the dashboard and authentication pages. These changes ensure a more cohesive experience when managing your account and viewing platform alerts.
Public Playground Stability
We resolved a critical issue that caused the public API playground to crash for some users. You can now reliably test your scraping configurations and preview data extraction results without encountering unexpected service interruptions.
Better Accessibility for Screen Readers
Screen readers no longer announce duplicate status indicators in our feature comparison charts. This provides a more streamlined and professional experience for developers using assistive technologies to evaluate our services.
Unified Free Tier Messaging
We updated the platform to consistently reflect our free request offering across all documentation and comparison pages. This ensures you have accurate information about your starting credits when exploring our API for the first time.
Security
4Standardized API error responses
We updated our API to return generic insufficient-balance messages across all scraping, mapping, and searching endpoints. This ensures exact account balances are never unintentionally exposed in automated error logs.
Endpoint security hardening
We deployed multiple security enhancements to our beta feature and intelligent extraction endpoints. These updates provide stricter input validation and better safeguard your active API integration sessions.
Hardened Dynamic Content Rendering
Implemented advanced protection for dynamic content to prevent unauthorized script execution. This security layer ensures that all platform-rendered content is strictly sanitized, protecting your session from potential injection risks.
Secure Session Management
Enforced secure transport protocols for session identifiers and referral data to protect user information from interception. This update ensures that sensitive cookies are only transmitted over encrypted connections.
Plus 21 internal changes for stability and performance.
