description	New updates and improvements

{/* NOTE: See overview_unpublished.mdx for changes that are not yet published. */}

This page lists changes to Flare's API. Release notes for the Flare Platform can be found on the [product documentation website](https://docs.flare.io/releases). Replaced the `leak` event type for individual `leaked_credential` events. See [Leaked Credentials ](/event-types/leaked-credential) Released version 2.0.0 of the [Python SDK ](/sdk/python).

This release changes the API of scroll_events to yield ScrollEventsResult objects. This new object exposes metadata, event and next fields.

The previous API for this method wouldn't expose the metadata and forced users of the library to implement their own pagination logic. This new API ensures all data is available to the caller.

Released the beta of the [Flare API CLI ](/sdk/cli) utility.

This new command line interface (CLI) program provides Flare API automations such as exporting tenant events or credentials to CSV files.

Published a new [List and Update Identifiers ](/guides/update-identifiers) guide. Released version 1.2.0 of the [Python SDK ](/sdk/python).

This release adds a new scroll_events method that can be used to retrieve events from the feed APIs without having to manage fetching events individually.

More information, including full examples, can be found in the Python SDK documentation .

Added a [Global Search Credentials Endpoint ](/api-reference/v4/endpoints/credentials-global-search). This new endpoint allows for searching in all of Flare's credentials and counts towards the Global Search quota. This is useful for customers that don't have ASTP access. Added documentation for [Flare API Event Types ](/event-types/overview). API endpoints using the `/leaksdb/` prefix were changed to `/astp/`. The old prefix remains available as an alias and there are no plans to deprecate it. Released the [Flare API Documentation MCP Server ](/sdk/mcp).

This is useful for developers building Flare API automations with AI-powered integrated development environments (IDE).

The [/leaksdb/credentials ](/api-reference/leaksdb/endpoints/get-credentials-v1) and [/leaksdb/v2/credentials ](/api-reference/leaksdb/endpoints/get-credentials-v2) endpoints were marked as deprecated and should be replaced by [/astp/v2/credentials/_search ](/api-reference/astp/endpoints/post-credentials-search). Released version 1.0.0 of the [Python SDK ](/sdk/python).

This release contains no changes, it simply marks 1.0.0 so that future breaking changes can be communicated using semantic versioning.

Added a new [List Credentials Within a Tenant ](/guides/tenant-credentials) guide. Released a new version of the List All Credentials endpoint, [List All Credentials V2 ](/api-reference/leaksdb/endpoints/get-credentials-v2), which supports the [Flare standard paging pattern ](/concepts/paging).

The old endpoint is still supported and was marked as deprecated: List All Credentials V1 .

Released version 0.2.1 of the [Python SDK ](/sdk/python).

This release adds a from_env method to FlareApiClient.

This allows the creation of a client from the following environment variables:

• FLARE_API_KEY="<key>"
• FLARE_TENANT_ID="<tenant_id>"

Then, the client can be created using:

from flareio import FlareApiClient


client = FlareApiClient.from_env()

The following command can be used to upgrade:

pip install flareio>=0.2.1

Modified the [retrieve event ](/api-reference/v2/endpoints/activities/get-activities-) endpoint to accept the UID as a query parameter instead of as path parameters. This avoids confusion that some users had when using uids that have multiple slashes. The old endpoint with path parameters was kept for backwards compatibility.

Increased basic rate limiting from 2 requests per second to 4 requests per second.

The [cookies search endpoint ](/api-reference/astp/endpoints/post-cookies-search) now returns an `uuid` that can be used to uniquely identify cookies.

The cookies search endpoint now returns an imported_at timestamp that indicates when the cookie was imported to Flare's database. It also has a new imported_after filter that allows for retrieving cookies that were imported after a given timestamp. The Cookie Monitoring Guide was updated with an example usage.

Released new event actions endpoint . It allows ignoring, unignoring, remediating and unremediating events.

Released version 0.1.25 of the [Python SDK ](/sdk/python).

This release fixes an issue with packaging that caused the Python SDK to declare too many Python dependencies, conflicting with libraries installed in the environments of some users.

The following command can be used to upgrade:

pip install flareio>=0.1.25

The API documentation has been revamped for better clarity and structure.

We’ve added new use-case guides to help you quickly address specific customer needs.

Released new global search endpoint with simpler-to-use filters.

Released new credentials search endpoint with simpler-to-use filters and support for Flare's standard paging pattern.

Released a Python SDK .

Released a Go SDK .
