Release Notes

February 2026 | Call Lookup: Flexible Input and Output Formats for Phone Numbers

Enhancements

Call Lookup: Control Over Phone Number Formats

The Call Lookup endpoint has been enhanced with new formatting options. Phone numbers can now be submitted in both local format (without country code) and E.164 format (with +). Using the optional outputFormat parameter, you can additionally control the format in which the phone number is returned:

• Input: Both formats are accepted (e.g., 0791234567 or [phone])

• Output Format 1 (Default): Local format without country code (e.g., 0791234567)

• Output Format 2: E.164 format with + and country code (e.g., [phone])

This enables better integration into various systems and use cases that require specific phone number formats.

Technical Details:

• Parameter number: Accepts local format and E.164 format

• Parameter outputFormat (integer, optional)

• Default value: 1 (local format)

• Values: 1 = local, 2 = E.164

January 2026 | The multisource Hub – More transparency for your API usage

New Features

We are enhancing the multisource•api with the new multisource Hub. This new portal serves as your central point of contact to view your processing activities and costs at any time.

In this first version, the focus is on providing detailed information and statistics regarding your activities.

Features at a glance:

• Central Dashboard: Overview of your daily and monthly requests as well as current monthly costs.

• Batch Monitoring: Insight into the status of your address processing, including processing duration and record counts.

• Detailed FactSheets: A detailed report is available for download for each batch.

• Update Statistics: Graphical representation of processed statuses (e.g., relocations, deceased, or new reference data).

• Cost Overview: Transparent display of cost history from previous months.

Outlook: The Future of the Hub

This is just the beginning. We plan to continuously expand the multisource Hub to offer you even more flexibility in the future. Look forward to upcoming features such as:

• Self-Service Management: Manage your API keys and user access directly in the portal.

• Configuration Options: Enhanced possibilities to control your processing directly via the web interface.

November 2025 | Call Lookup: Source Querying, Simplified Address Processing

Enhancements

Call Lookup: Automatic Source Querying

The Call Lookup endpoint has been simplified. All requests now automatically query the ETC and ETB sources and return an aggregated dataset. Manual source specification is no longer required.

AddressProcessing/Create: Simplified Batch Creation

The batch creation process has been optimized. Batches can now be created directly via the Create endpoint without requiring prior datagroup creation. Additionally, the endpoint now accepts a settings property, allowing batch settings to be passed directly during creation. A separate call to SetBatchSettings is no longer necessary.

GetRecords: Flexible Output Formats

GetRecords now supports choosing between file and JSON format and is the recommended method for accessing AddressResult data. FileDownload remains available for special use cases.

September 2025 | New Output Formats

New Features

New output format options are now available for AdressProcessing:

• With the endpoint /AdressProcessing/FileDownload, you can now choose whether the file is delivered compressed (.txt.gz) or uncompressed (.txt).

• Default: compressed (false)

• Optional: uncompressed (true)

• The new endpoint /AdressProcessing/GetRecords allows you to retrieve the results directly as JSON.

June 2025 | More flexibility in Batch Settings

Enhancements

Replacement of SetBatchSetting with SetBatchSettings

• The new SetBatchSettings function fully replaces the previous SetBatchSetting method. It offers a clearer and more flexible way to configure multiple settings in a single call.

• Instead of individual parameters, SetBatchSettings now accepts a structured list in the request body, enabling multiple configuration values to be passed efficiently in one step.

• This function simplifies the application of settings for business use cases and ensures more consistent usage across the API.

May 2025 | Call Lookup & flexible batch processing & Auth Key

API version 1.1 introduces a new module (Call Lookup) along with enhanced features for address processing, security, and configurability.

New Features

Call Lookup (Reverse Phone Search)

New lookup functionality enabling targeted reverse searches based on phone numbers.

Address Processing: SetBatchSetting with Type “99 - Dictionary”

Introduction of a new setting type that allows flexible configurations using JSON format. Typical use cases: triggering webhooks (e.g., Airflow), selectively excluding specific data sources, etc.

Address Processing: AddRecords

New endpoint for adding records to existing batches via HTTP PUT. Requirement: The batch must be in created status. This method complements the previous file-based import with an API-based alternative.

Enhancements

Personal Access Tokens (PAT)

Introduction of a new authentication method using PATs, which can be generated and managed through the portal. They provide an alternative to the traditional Bearer Token model.

Usage: Instead of Authorization: Bearer, the token is now transmitted in the header using auth-key.
