Unreleased
- Webhook payloads now have one shape. Every delivery is
{type, account_id, data, created_at}. Monitoring and DMARC events previously arrived as a bare object with no envelope, and the documentation told you to handle both — that is fixed rather than described now. Nothing breaks: those events still carry their fields at the top level as well, so a handler written against the old shape keeps working. The duplicated top-level fields are deprecated and go away in/v2; read fromdata. - API access now follows the plan. A plan’s
api_rate_per_mindecides both whether the API is included and how fast you may call it; a plan granting no requests per minute grants no API, and requests return403naming the plan. Previously a missing limit was read as unlimited, so accounts without an API entitlement were the least restricted of all. POST /v1/testsnow requires a key. Anonymous, unauthenticated test creation remains available from the website, but not fromapi.deliversight.com.GET /v1/testsandGET /v1/tests/{token}accept API keys, under the newtests:readscope. Previously they took only a dashboard session, so a key could create a test and had no authenticated way to read the result back.429responses now carryRetry-After, in seconds, calculated from your plan’s rate.- The per-minute API rate limit now applies to
POST /v1/tests. It previously applied only toGET /v1/whoami, so test creation was effectively unlimited by that figure. - The
reports:readscope is retired. Nothing ever checked it: the report endpoints it appeared to name are authenticated by the test token and take no key at all. Existing keys carrying it keep working — the scope is simply no longer offered. Usetests:read.
Compatibility
While /v1 exists we will not remove an endpoint, remove a response field, change a field’s
type, or add a required parameter.
We will add response fields, add endpoints, and add webhook event types. Parse leniently: ignore
fields and event types you do not recognise, and do not assume the set of report checks is
fixed.
Anything we cannot do additively goes in /v2, and /v1 keeps working while you migrate.
