It has been a week since we last updated you on the progress of our new API update which contains new features and increased speed. So far the testing is going very well and we're currently filling the API's new database with data ready for live queries from our customers.

We expect to deploy the new API some time next week and we will be back-porting parts of the code to the v1 API endpoint, specifically the way it performs checks on IP Addresses and how it accesses our database of address data.

The new server process for handling database lookups has been working very well in testing, the performance has been extremely consistent with constant low data access times even under simulated loads from millions of incoming queries per second.

So that's where things are right now, we're on track for a release soon, the last thing I wanted to mention is we've had a few customers email us about the new API asking about how it will affect their use of the API so I just want to explain that for everyone.

This new API update does not change the response format you receive from our API in any way that should break your software. We're not changing the names of anything or how we present the information. We're simply making the results faster and adding more information to the results if you supply the flags to view such extended information. So once it's live you won't need to do anything except enjoy the increased performance.

Thanks for reading we hope everyone has a great week.
