Smarter Search Routing and Redesigned Auth
This release brings major enhancements to our search API with faster, content-triggered failovers and transparent engine attribution. We have also redesigned our authentication flow with dedicated sign-in/sign-up pages, improved data privacy across B2B payloads, and resolved several edge-case rate-limiting issues.
Enjoy a modern, beautiful split-screen sign-in and sign-up experience. The site header now points directly to this redesigned signup page, getting you up and running faster.
Discover high-value scraping opportunities automatically with our new Lead Opportunity Queue. This feature aggregates discovery signals into a stable, verified queue with detailed lifecycle tracking.
Our search API now triggers failover mechanisms immediately when encountering thin or empty results instead of waiting for a timeout. This dynamic escalation drastically reduces total latency.
New Features
5Redesigned Authentication Pages
Enjoy a modern, beautiful split-screen sign-in and sign-up experience. The site header now points directly to this redesigned signup page, getting you up and running faster.
Interactive Search Playground
Test-drive real search requests directly in the playground before signing up. We also streamlined the interface by replacing manual engine selection with smart automatic routing.
Attributed Lead Opportunity Queue
Discover high-value scraping opportunities automatically with our new Lead Opportunity Queue. This feature aggregates discovery signals into a stable, verified queue with detailed lifecycle tracking.
Verified Social Media Dispatch
Our API now actively verifies that automated submissions on platforms like Reddit and Stack Overflow are live. This guarantees you always receive accurate publication status without manual polling.
Automated Blog Syndication States
Get precise visibility into your content syndication workflows. Separate states for attempts, publication, and verification ensure your content is never double-posted or lost.
Improvements
5Instant Search Failover
Our search API now triggers failover mechanisms immediately when encountering thin or empty results instead of waiting for a timeout. This dynamic escalation drastically reduces total latency.
Efficient Rate-Limit Queueing
Rate-limit reservations are now safely preserved across job deferrals in your scraping queues. This ensures delayed jobs retain their slots, preventing unnecessary API throttling.
Streamlined Batch Rejection
Fully rejected batch requests now return a terminal HTTP 200 response immediately instead of creating a polling resource. This reduces client polling overhead and speeds up error handling.
Zero-CLS Desktop Layouts
We eliminated Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) on desktop browsers by reserving layout space for the announcement bar. Page elements no longer shift unexpectedly during asynchronous loads.
General bug fixes and improvements
Plus 27 internal improvements for better reliability and performance.
Bug Fixes
2Deduplicated Initial Scrapes
We resolved an issue where running a scrape on landing pages could trigger duplicate requests or double-billing on navigation. A secure local storage marker now deduplicates initial loads.
Search Reliability Enhancements
We resolved a routing anomaly that caused search requests to occasionally be flagged as automated traffic. By adjusting request parameters, we have boosted success rates on Google queries.
Security
3Enhanced B2B Payload Privacy
We hardened B2B demographic proof endpoints by stripping internal proxy details, such as raw exit IPs and unhashed proxy credentials. All sensitive fields are now properly hashed.
Protected Login Redirects
We resolved an open-redirect vulnerability where the post-login callback query parameter could bypass our origin policy. Callback URLs are now strictly sanitized before redirection.
Plaintext Credential Prevention
Our profiling backend now automatically redacts credential-like substrings before persisting error logs to the database. This guarantees that your sensitive keys remain protected.
