With API v5.4.0, let the API manage itself. It now documents the contracts you used to have to figure out on your own, so error handling and controller behavior are clearly described. Custom API Endpoints over the API.an now create, list, fetch, update, and delete custom API endpoints directly through the API. Endpoint definitions can be versioned, scripted, and moved between environments, rather than managed only through the admin interface. Authorization Policies now include an Instance API Key option in the dropdown.
A published error response standard now covers the envelope fields and the counts returned by bulk endpoints so that a single handler can work for every endpoint. A documented GeoJSON serialization standard also exists: you send JSON-encoded strings and get parsed objects back.
A new Controllers section explains what controllers are, how to use {% function %}, and when to choose a controller instead of the HTTP API. Endpoint pages now have a Controller Contract section that describes stability, returns, errors, and failures, so you know what a controller guarantees before you use it.
HTTP and Controller request examples now appear in read-only code editors with a Copy Request button, and authorization headers always use the {API_KEY} placeholder. Bulk endpoint examples now show the correct array-of-objects format, controller examples use the right params argument for payloads, and cURL examples escape apostrophes properly. Markdown now shows a literal & in cURL URLs instead of an HTML-escaped version. The Markdown documentation redirect that adds .md works again, and the API Overview now accurately documents the default search, sort, and pagination settings.
Elsewhere, GraphQL Name is now called Display Name, the cancel button icon on Custom API Endpoint pages has been updated, and we removed unused total counts from internal GraphQL queries.
