Decrease bulk status ID limit: Due to maximum query size restrictions, the bulk status endpoint now accepts a maximum of 30 request IDs per query (previously 50) to reduce the likelihood of hitting this query size limit during normal operation. Depending on the length of your IDs, you may still encounter a 403 Forbidden response using 30 or less IDs if the entire query string is over 2048 bytes - if this happens, please reduce the number of request IDs and try again.
New status values: The verification status endpoint will be updated with additional statuses. revoked when the credential is no longer available and unshared when the user has either disabled sharing or has yet to provide consent to share new data.There is a transition period where the API will continue to return `canceled` status for revoked and unshared requests. The new statuses will be used on or after 4th September 2026.
New webhook events: Webhooks will be sent when request is revoked, unshared, or shared with updated data.
