New API Beta: Enhanced Detection Insights

We're excited to announce the release of our new API beta version, dated November 20th, 2025. This update brings new responses that give you deeper insights into detection results and help you make more informed decisions. This is our third dated version of the v3 API as the beta continues.

What's New in the Beta

Confidence Scores

The headline feature of this release is the addition of confidence scores for all detections. Every detection now includes a confidence value ranging from 0 to 100, indicating how certain the API is about its findings. This numerical score gives you immediate insight into the reliability of each detection, allowing you to:

• Filter results based on confidence thresholds
• Prioritize high-confidence detections for immediate action
• Flag low-confidence results for manual review
• Make more nuanced decisions based on detection certainty

The score is heavily weighted towards recent detections meaning as the time grows between now and our last detection the confidence score will reduce. This allows us to present results for a longer time period because the confidence score will help you decide how to action the result.

One thing to note about this release, because of the new confidence score some data that was previously expired quickly will linger for a much longer time. Due to this we're going to be hiding results on the API if you don't supply an &days= flag with your requests so that we can provide a safe default.

As an example, residential proxy results typically expire within 48-hours but you can keep them visible for much longer by supplying &days=14 which would keep them displayed for 14-days whilst the confidence score will degrade the further out from our latest detection.

Temporal Detection Data

We've also added two new fields to the detection section that provide important temporal context:

• first_seen: When the detection was initially identified
• last_seen: The most recent occurrence of the detection

These timestamps will help you understand the timeline of detections and track persistence.

Lookup Page Updates

We've also upgraded our lookup pages to take full advantage of the new API version. The interface now displays:

• Confidence scores for all detections
• First seen and last seen timestamps
• Enhanced appearance of detections making it easier to parse at a glance

This means you can explore detection data more thoroughly directly through the web interface, without needing to make API calls for basic queries.

Getting Started with the Beta

The new beta API version is now available for testing. We encourage you to explore these new features and share your feedback with us. Your input during this beta phase will help us refine the API before an eventual stable release that we think will come early next year.

You can begin using it by supplying &ver=20-November-2025 with your requests to the /v3/ endpoint, or you can select it from the v3 API dropdown selector within the customer dashboard. If you've set your API version to Latest Stable Version you'll already be using the new release.

We've also updated the API documentation page and test console.
