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.

Inquiries

  • 🍃 Update Inquiries regardless of status: Previously, Inquiries could only be updated when its status was created or pending. Now you can update Inquiries of any status. Updating Inquiries that are not in progress is generally not recommended, but could be valid for some use cases. For more details, see Update an Inquiry.

Verifications

  • 🌱 Add face coordinates to Selfie Verifications: Selfie Verifications now include center-photo-face-coordinates, which is composed of coordinates top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right. This can be used to isolate only the face from the center photo associated with a Selfie Verification.
