Altered the Risk Score section to adjust the recommended actions table and to add a new table showing baseline risk scores for different IP determination types.
7th of September 2024
Altered the first paragraph in the Service Limits section to make it clear that sending us an IP or an Email address to be checked uses up just one query.
3rd of September 2024
Enhanced the API test console by providing the URL that your toggled flags corrospond to for easy url building. Made the test console react instantly to selections and toggles instead of needing to click on a submit button.

Added a new action flag to the Custom List Dashboard API called forcedl which allows you to forcibly schedule a Custom List that is set to automatically download content from your provided URL to do so within the next 60 seconds.

Added references to address ranges and hostnames which have been added to the API result recently. Altered the test console to support outputting address ranges and hostnames.
8th of January 2024
Altered the text that appears beneath the test console to better explain that the address results shown are not live and may differ from live API results.
25th of September 2023
Added a new flag: p to the documentation, which allows you to deactivate the pretty-print output of the API (aka the results appear as a single line) which is more appropriate for efficient bandwidth use when only machines will be reading the API output.
27th of June 2023
The node.js library on this page was changed to a new one utilising typescript written by neo773.
13th of June 2023
The ruby gem made by Jonathan De Jong was updated to support our v2 API and so the library table of features was updated to reflect this change.
12th of June 2023
The cache time displayed for queries was altered, it used to be 10 to 60 seconds, it is now 10 seconds to 10 minutes. The cache time is per-node and depends on how many queries you're sending per second with the higher the volume of queries you make resulting in a longer cache time.
26th of April 2023
Altered all references to requests per second (RPS) in the documentation as the limits have been raised from 125 to 200 RPS.
25th of January 2023

4th of January 2023
Altered the server-side url example to include a warning about sending email addresses in URLs due to character conflicts, recommending instead to send them using the POST method.
