API Terms and a new error code

Wed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Non-breaking changes to version 2026-10-05.

The API Terms, the Data Processing Agreement, the subprocessors and the privacy notice for Mexico are published. Opening an account asks you to accept the first two.
Accounts opened before today see a notice in the dashboard. Their live keys keep working without it until 2026-11-13. Test keys are not affected.
New error code: terms_not_accepted (403). A live call gets it when the account has not accepted the terms in force and their 30 days of grace are over.

Non-breaking changes to version 2026-10-05. Accounts without the Records add-on see no change.

/v1/customers keeps your end customers, with phone and email stored encrypted. Each estimate can name one in customer_id, and GET /v1/customers/{id}/estimates lists them. See Records.
/v1/records/{collection}/{id} keeps any JSON object of up to 64 KB under your own id. The write with the latest updated_at_ms wins.
New scopes: customers:write, records:read and records:write. Keys gain them when the add-on is turned on.
An estimate linked to a customer answers with customer_id. Estimates without one answer as before.
New error code: records_cap_reached, past 50,000 customers and records in one environment.
