SMS carrier registration status now includes additional lifecycle states in registration APIs.

You may now see pre-submission review and deactivation states when listing, fetching, or reusing registrations, which can affect clients that assume only the previous 3 statuses.

Updated status enum:
pending, approved, rejected, requested, changes_requested, deactivated

Applies to:
GET /v1/sms/registrations
GET /v1/sms/registrations/{id}
POST /v1/phone-numbers/{id}/sms/reuse-registration

Also added to POST /v1/sms/registrations request body:
resubmitRequestId (resubmit an existing registration returned for changes)
wizardValues (optional raw wizard answers; can be omitted by API integrators)

GET /v1/connect/{platform}/ads now supports force to trigger a fresh OAuth flow even when an ads account is already connected.

This lets you proactively refresh stored tokens (the endpoint normally returns alreadyConnected: true based on account active state, not token liveness).

Use force=true to always receive authUrl; completing OAuth refreshes the stored token on the existing posting + ads accounts in place.

New param: force (true/false, default false)

YouTube demographics analytics now supports per-video audience breakdowns via videoId on GET /v1/analytics/youtube/demographics.

Pass videoId to fetch demographics for a single video (instead of the whole channel). Note: YouTube may return empty breakdowns for low-traffic videos due to signed-in view thresholds.

Use:
videoId - YouTube video ID (scoped to the connected channel; otherwise 404)
startDate - defaults to the video publish date (lifetime) when videoId is provided

Response adds (video mode only): videoId, title, publishedAt.

Also: Meta city targeting docs were updated to reflect that cities[].radius has a minimum (~17 km / 10 mi). Smaller values can produce a 0-size audience and fail at launch; use customLocations for tighter radius targeting.

View documentation
GET /v1/accounts/{accountId}/gmb-locations now supports a limit query parameter.

You can raise the maximum number of Google Business Profile locations returned (default was effectively 100) up to 500 to enumerate accounts with more than 100 locations.

Use limit:
limit (integer, default 100, min 1, max 500)

Invalid values now return 400 (e.g. limit out of range).

View documentation
Meta campaign updates now support a lifetime spend cap via platformSpecificData.spendCap on PUT /v1/ads/campaigns/{campaignId}.

This lets you set or remove a campaign-level spend cap without recreating the campaign.

Use:
platformSpecificData.spendCap = number (sets cap)
platformSpecificData.spendCap = null (removes cap; Meta rejects 0)

Meta ad set updates now accept post-launch delivery settings via platformSpecificData on PUT /v1/ads/ad-sets/{adSetId}.

Set any of:
platformSpecificData.optimizationGoal
platformSpecificData.billingEvent
platformSpecificData.startDate, platformSpecificData.endDate
platformSpecificData.promotedObject (e.g. pixelId, customEventType, pageId, applicationId, objectStoreUrl, customConversionId, productCatalogId, productSetId)

Also added: billingEvent (Meta only) on POST /v1/ads/create to explicitly set the ad set’s billing event (defaults to IMPRESSIONS).

Google Business reviews now include attached photos in review responses.

You can display/download reviewer-uploaded images and know how many photos are attached per review.

Added fields:
GET /v1/accounts/{accountId}/gmb-reviewsreviews[].photoCount, reviews[].photos[] (each item: url)
GET /v1/inbox/reviewsdata[].photos[] (Google Business only; each item: url)

Notes: photoCount counts photos only (videos not counted). For non-Google platforms, photos is always an empty array.

View documentation
Google Business Profiles: you can now assign a GBP location to a different profile by reusing an existing OAuth grant (no browser re-auth).

Use POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/gmb-locations/assign with:
profileId (target profile)
selectedLocationId (e.g. locations/123)
googleAccountId (optional, recommended for accounts with many locations)
Returns 409 if the target profile already has a Google Business connection.

Phone number purchasing now supports selecting a number type.

On POST /v1/phone-numbers/purchase you can pass numberType: local | mobile | national | toll_free. Availability/KYC can vary by (country, type).

Country/type discovery updates:
GET /v1/phone-numbers/countries now includes inStock and types[] (per-type monthlyCents, needsKyc, whatsappAvailable, smsAvailable, callsAvailable, inStock)
GET /v1/phone-numbers/availability adds optional numberType
GET /v1/phone-numbers/kyc adds optional numberType

Facebook connect flow: POST /v1/connect/facebook/select-page can now return 409 with code RECONNECT_ACCOUNT_MISMATCH when a force=true token-recovery re-auth lands on a different user/page than the existing connection.

New Meta Ads insights endpoints are available: GET /v1/ads/insights, POST /v1/ads/insights/reports, GET /v1/ads/insights/reports/{reportRunId}.

You can now run a flexible live insights query that forwards your chosen Meta Graph parameters (fields/breakdowns/filtering) and returns rows in Meta’s raw shape; use the async report flow for long ranges or large accounts.

Sync query: GET /v1/ads/insights with accountId, objectId, optional level (ad/adset/campaign/account), fields, breakdowns, filtering, datePreset or fromDate+toDate, timeIncrement, limit, after.

Async flow:
• Submit: POST /v1/ads/insights/reports (body includes accountId, objectId, optional level, fields, breakdowns, filtering, datePreset or fromDate/toDate, timeIncrement (1-90 | monthly | all_days)) → returns reportRunId
• Poll: GET /v1/ads/insights/reports/{reportRunId} with accountId, limit, after → returns status and percentCompletion; when status is Job Completed, includes data + paging.

Meta only (facebook/instagram). Invalid field/breakdown combos return 400 with Meta’s error message.

TikTok conversion ads created via POST /v1/ads/create now accept TikTok Events Manager event names in promotedObject.customEventType (auto-resolved to the underlying optimization_event code).

This makes it easier to configure goal=conversions without manually mapping to TikTok’s internal codes; note that ON_WEB_ORDER is now deprecated.

Use promotedObject.customEventType with one of:
SHOPPING, ON_WEB_CART, INITIATE_ORDER, FORM, ON_WEB_REGISTER, ON_WEB_DETAIL

Applies to TikTok only; promotedObject.pixelId is still required for goal=conversions.

POST /v1/ads/create now supports more TikTok controls and targeting.

You can create TikTok ads/campaigns in a paused state and use additional geo targeting fields for TikTok.

Key changes:
status now applies to Meta and TikTok: ACTIVE | PAUSED (TikTok pauses campaign > ad group > ad)
• Geo targeting fields now support TikTok: cities, regions, metros

GET /v1/ads/targeting/search: TikTok geo searches now return mixed levels in one list (type can be country | region | city | district | metro), and geoType is not applied for TikTok results.

POST /v1/inbox/comments/{postId} now supports attaching an image when replying on Facebook via attachmentUrl.

This lets you publish a photo comment alongside the text reply. The image URL must be publicly accessible so Meta can fetch it.

New request field:
attachmentUrl (uri) — Facebook only

If attachmentUrl is sent for non-Facebook platforms, the API now returns 400 (e.g. code PLATFORM_NOT_SUPPORTED).

View documentation
Google Business batch reviews now supports server-side sorting via orderBy on POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/gmb-reviews/batch.

This lets you fetch newest-updated reviews first (default) and stop paginating earlier when polling for recent changes.

Use orderBy:
updateTime desc (default)
rating
rating desc

Also note: locationNames is now capped at maxItems: 50 per request (chunk larger sets).

Responses now clarify attribution: each locationReviews[].name is the LOCATION resource name (not the review resource name), and review includes review.name (full review resource name) plus reviewMediaItems (photos/videos).

Inbox reviews (GET /v1/inbox/reviews) now includes Google Business location attribution fields: locationId (bare id) and locationName (display name).

View documentation
Meta insights now supports action-level segmentation and attribution controls on both the sync and async insights APIs.

You can segment actions[] and control attribution windows/reporting time without changing endpoints.

New on GET /v1/ads/insights:
actionBreakdowns
actionAttributionWindows
actionReportTime
useUnifiedAttributionSetting

New on POST /v1/ads/insights/reports:
actionBreakdowns

New Meta Ads capabilities are available: ad previews, click-to-message ads, and click-to-call ads.

You can now render embeddable preview iframes before creating an ad via POST /v1/ads/preview (provide exactly one of existingCreativeId or creativeSpec) or for an existing ad via GET /v1/ads/{adId}/preview. Use formats (Meta ad_format values, max 10) to control placements.

Click-to-message ads are now unified under POST /v1/ads/messaging with destination:
whatsapp
messenger
instagram_direct

Click-to-call ads are supported via POST /v1/ads/call using phoneNumber (E.164) and linkUrl.

POST /v1/ads/ctwa is now deprecated; use POST /v1/ads/messaging with destination: whatsapp (the old endpoint remains for back-compat).

View documentation
New Meta Ads endpoints are available for live reads, auditing, studies, finances, and asset upload.

You can now:
• Read a live Meta ad set (incl. learning phase) via GET /v1/ads/ad-sets/{adSetId} with accountId and optional fields (default includes learning_stage_info).
• Fetch account audit/activity log via GET /v1/ads/activity using accountId, adAccountId, optional since/until, optional objectId (client-side filter), plus paging limit/after.

POST /v1/ads/conversions: consent now affects Meta too — if adUserData or adPersonalization is DENIED, events are sent with Meta Limited Data Use (LDU); GRANTED (or omitted) uses default processing.

View documentation
Meta ads now support Reach & Frequency (RESERVED) buying via new R&F prediction + reservation endpoints.

You can request a quote (no spend, no entities created), reserve it to lock price/inventory, then create an ad using the reserved prediction.

New endpoints:
POST /v1/ads/rf-predictions (create quote; provide date range + exactly one of budgetAmount or reach)
GET /v1/ads/rf-predictions/{predictionId}
POST /v1/ads/rf-predictions/{predictionId}/reserve (returns a NEW RESERVED predictionId + expiresAt)
DELETE /v1/ads/rf-predictions/{predictionId} (cancel reservation)

POST /v1/ads/create adds:
buyingType: AUCTION | RESERVED
rfPredictionId (required when buyingType=RESERVED)

Notes: RESERVED uses the single-ad shape only (no creatives[], adSetId, existingCampaignId, or dynamicCreative). Budget/schedule/pricing come from the reservation; bid fields are ignored.

View documentation
SMS now supports alphanumeric sender IDs (e.g. ZERNIO) for one-way international texting.

Create/manage sender IDs via:
GET /v1/sms/sender-ids (includes workspace daily budget: budget.cap, budget.usedToday, budget.level, budget.pendingRequest)
POST /v1/sms/sender-ids with senderId (3–11 chars; letters/digits/spaces; at least one letter)
DELETE /v1/sms/sender-ids/{id}
POST /v1/sms/sender-ids/limit-request with requestedCap + reason

Sending: POST /v1/sms/messages now accepts from as either an SMS-enabled number or an approved sender ID.

Notes for sender IDs: text-only (no MMS), recipients can’t reply, and sends to US/CA/PR are blocked.

New responses to handle on POST /v1/sms/messages:
403 (gate: registration/MMS not supported/alpha to US-CA-PR)
429 (alphanumeric daily cap reached; code alpha_daily_limit_reached; resets midnight UTC)
404 now covers “no SMS-enabled number or sender ID matches from”.

Meta Ads: new endpoints for campaign/creative management, duplication, and library access.

You can now create a standalone campaign shell, duplicate ad sets/ads via Meta native copy, manage creatives separately from ads, and query labels/images/creative library + budget schedules.

New endpoints:
• Create campaign (ODAX shell): POST /v1/ads/campaigns with goal (engagement, traffic, awareness, video_views, lead_generation, lead_conversion, job_applicants, conversions, app_promotion, catalog_sales), optional CBO via budgetAmount + budgetType (daily|lifetime), status (ACTIVE|PAUSED)
• Duplicate ad set: POST /v1/ads/ad-sets/{adSetId}/duplicate with deepCopy, campaignId, statusOption (ACTIVE|PAUSED|INHERITED_FROM_SOURCE), syncAfter
• Duplicate ad: POST /v1/ads/{adId}/duplicate with adSetId, statusOption (ACTIVE|PAUSED|INHERITED_FROM_SOURCE), syncAfter

Audience updates expanded:

View documentation
WhatsApp inbound attachments can now be downloaded via GET /v1/whatsapp/media/{mediaId}.

This streams the binary for a WhatsApp attachment referenced by attachments[].url in message.received webhooks and List messages.

Call it with:
mediaId (path) from attachments[].payload.id
accountId (query) = the WhatsApp account that received the media
Authorization: Bearer <your API key> (required; otherwise 401)

Important behavior:
• Download on receipt: WhatsApp media expires on Meta’s side (typically ~7 days). After expiry this endpoint returns 400 permanently (do not retry).

Removed endpoints:
GET /v1/sms/sender-ids, POST /v1/sms/sender-ids, POST /v1/sms/sender-ids/limit-request, DELETE /v1/sms/sender-ids/{id}

Breaking change (SMS): POST /v1/sms/messages no longer supports alphanumeric sender IDs in from (now requires an SMS-enabled number).

View documentation
Discord: new member lookup + search endpoints, and guild member listing now fails fast when the Server Members Intent is missing.

You can now fetch a single member or prefix-search members without the privileged intent (useful when full listing is blocked).

New endpoints:
GET /v1/discord/guilds/{guildId}/members/{userId} (accountId)
GET /v1/discord/guilds/{guildId}/members/search (accountId, query, optional limit) — query is prefix-only

Breaking change:
GET /v1/discord/guilds/{guildId}/members now returns 403 if the Server Members Intent is not enabled (previously Discord could return an empty array).

SMS: alphanumeric Sender IDs are now supported.

Create and manage branded one-way SMS sender IDs (3–11 chars; letters/digits/spaces; at least one letter) and view the workspace-wide daily cap.

New endpoints:
GET /v1/sms/sender-ids (returns senderIds + budget with cap/usedToday/level/pendingRequest)
POST /v1/sms/sender-ids (senderId)
DELETE /v1/sms/sender-ids/{id}
POST /v1/sms/sender-ids/limit-request (requestedCap, reason)

POST /v1/ads/campaigns (standalone campaign)
POST /v1/ads/creatives, GET /v1/ads/creatives, GET /v1/ads/creatives/{creativeId}, PUT /v1/ads/creatives/{creativeId}, DELETE /v1/ads/creatives/{creativeId}

validateOnly: true (Meta only; single standalone shape only) — returns 200 with validation results instead of creating entities.

View documentation
Meta ads now support additional promoted-object fields, and some payloads are validated more strictly.

In POST /v1/ads/create, promotedObject adds:
offlineConversionDataSetId
whatsappPhoneNumber

In PUT /v1/ads/ad-sets/{adSetId}, platformSpecificData.promotedObject adds the same fields and now rejects unknown keys (additionalProperties: false), returning 400.

In POST /v1/ads/boost and POST /v1/ads/create, Meta adds specialAdCategoryCountry (array of 2-letter ISO codes). It requires specialAdCategories to be set (400 otherwise).

GET /v1/ads/audiences and POST /v1/ads/audiences add a new audience type value: meta_engagement.
