Since we debuted the v2 API on January 1st we've been collecting a lot of data about how our customers are using the new API. One of the obvious use cases has been multi-checking. We've seen a huge volume of customers making use of our multi-checking functionality especially our largest customers that have lots of prior data they wish to check or re-check.

To help facilitate this use case we have increased the volume of IP Addresses that can be checked in a single query from 100 to 1,000. We've also added in a new timing feature so if your query reaches 90 seconds it will stop and display to you the IP Addresses it has and has not processed up to that point, this is to ensure the query doesn't time out.

So if you provision your software for the time exhausted response Not processed. Reached 90 second processing time limit. you can re-send in a new query only the addresses that didn't get checked in your prior query. Depending on the flags you're using it is possible to query near 1,000 addresses within the 90 second query window so we know this will be a useful addition to the API.

In addition to these changes we've also remade the results interface on our Web Interface page (which also now goes to 1,000 checks per query or 90 seconds query time whichever comes first). We've made these changes so that it's easier to view large data sets, the previous UI was great up-to a certain number but once you're dealing with hundreds of addresses it could become cumbersome to navigate. Below is an example of the new interface with collapsable results.

Under each section if you're receiving 90 results or less it will automatically be expanded but if there are more than 90 results it will be collapsed enabling you to get an overview of all the kinds of results you've received before you choose to drill down into a specific result type.

We hope you enjoy these changes they are all live as of this blog post.
