Quarter 3-2021 Release Notes

    1. API v8 is in Beta

    • Version 8 abandons 1/0 style booleans for a more traditional true/false style of boolean.
    • Booleans in responses have also been moved from the 1/0 style to true/false.
    • In v8, when confidence scores are enabled and a field is not found on the document by the Veryfi AI, that field’s value is set to null.
    • Version 8 introduces pagination to GET requests. This provides control over how many documents are returned per search query and allows for short response times when a query results in a large number of documents.

    4. Service Level Agreements

    Veryfi SLA helps you Scale

    Want priority in customer support?
    Looking for help how to scale your organization using Veryfi tools?
    Need dedicated infrastructure to run Veryfi APIs in for more control?

    Sounds like you need an SLA plan.

    Your account manager will use a bug tracking system which ensures those pesky bugs are easily detected and squashed. At Veryfi we love using Atlassian tools like Jira and Confluence for this purpose. Whilst we aim to resolve all customer issues in a timely manner, SLA customers will always get a priority.

    If you do not have an SLA with Veryfi and would welcome such an addition to your experience, please reach out to us by replying to this email or sending a g’day message to support@veryfi.com

    5. SDKs for API

    An SDK is a set of tools (pre-written code) for third-party developers (you) to use in your producing application/s using a particular framework or platform like the Veryfi API. It’s the fastest and most convenient way to engage with an API because all the heavy lifting of authentication, abstraction, etc… are all taken care of for you in the language you work in. We are happy to announce, C# and Ruby SDKs have been added and published in the API portal.
