API Changelog

About

Below is a log of changes to the Persona API. Updates that affect only products or features in beta or limited release may not be reflected.

Each change can be described as either a breaking change or an ongoing change.

  • Breaking changes = new API version: When we make any backwards-incompatible changes, we release a new version of the API. In addition to being assigned a new API version, these changes are marked in the changelog with the 💥 symbol. You’re in charge of when you get breaking changes—you get them when you upgrade your API version. Learn how to try out and upgrade to newer API versions.
  • Ongoing changes: Ongoing changes are backwards-compatible, and are added on an ongoing basis. You don’t need to update your API version to get these updates.
SDK changelogs

Each Persona SDK has a separate changelog: Android SDK, iOS SDK, React Native SDK, Javascript SDK, Inlined React SDK, Inlined Vue SDK

Account Types and Case Templates

  • 🌱 New endpoints to retrieve Account Types and Case Templates by ID: You can now retrieve a specific Account Type or Case Template by its public ID. Both responses include a field-schemas array under data.attributes, where each entry describes one configured field (type, key, label, config) so you can programmatically validate that your application’s fields match what’s configured in Persona. The new endpoints require the account_type.read and case_template.read permissions, respectively. API keys created after the rollout date automatically include both permissions; API keys with explicit permission lists must add account_type.read and/or case_template.read before they can call the new endpoints.

Filings

  • 🔒 Filing endpoints now require the filing.write permission: Creating, updating, and adding objects to Filings now require API keys to have the filing.write permission. Existing API keys have been backfilled with this permission, and newly created API keys include filing.write by default. API keys with a narrow custom permission set must include filing.write to call these endpoints.
