This is the changelog for the Current API (https://api.getcurrent.ca/v1). We note every change that a consumer could perceive — new fields, changed behavior, deprecations, and fixes — and label anything breaking clearly. Subscribe: an RSS feed for this page is generated automatically at /changelog/rss.xml. Point your reader (or a Slack RSS integration) at it to get notified of API changes.
Breaking changes are announced here before they ship, and API-key holders are emailed directly. If a change isn’t marked Breaking, it is additive and safe to adopt at your own pace.

Added

Search & verify a stored business by id

POST /search and POST /verify now accept a reference to one of your stored business records instead of re-supplying its details. Reference it by our id with businessId, or by your own id on the record with the new businessExternalId — the request fields (name/website for search; legal name, jurisdiction, registration number, address, people for verify) are hydrated from that record. Any field you also send overrides the record for that request only; the stored record is never modified.
  • name (search) and legalName / jurisdiction / registrationNumber (verify) become optional when a reference is provided.
  • An unknown or foreign id returns 404 NOT_FOUND. Supplying both businessId and businessExternalId that point at different records returns 400.
  • A businessId-linked search compares its results against the record (the comparison / discrepancy view), same as a batch search.
Clarification: on /verify, the existing externalId field is your reference id recorded as metadata on the verification result — it is not a business lookup and never modifies the business record. Use the new businessExternalId to look a business up by your own id.All changes are additive — existing requests are unaffected.

API changelog is live

We now publish a dedicated changelog for the Current API. Going forward, every release that touches the /v1 surface — endpoints, request or response shapes, webhooks, rate limits, or auth — gets an entry here, categorized as Breaking, Added, Changed, Deprecated, or Fixed.Nothing about the API has changed in this entry — this is the starting point. The current surface is documented in the API Reference.
