📰 API Release Notes

Stay up to date with the latest improvements to the IBISWorld API.
This page highlights new features, fixes, and deprecations across the last 6 months.

📅 August 2026#

🛠️ Improvements#

Added pdfchangedate section to /industry/v3/sections. This field returns the date the downloadable PDF for a report was last compiled, and advances independently of PublishedDate — for example, when a formatting correction regenerates the PDF without triggering a new editorial publication. Sections of Industry Report for additional notes.
Added lastdodifieddate to the response of /industry/v3/reportlist and /industry/v3/updatedreports. This field returns the date the report content was last modified, distinct from PublishedDate (the official publication date). Use LastModifiedDate to detect content refreshes between full publication cycles for more precise cache synchronization.

📅 July 2026#

✨ New Data#

Added Financial Ratios for Japan (JP) to /industry/v3/ endpoints

🛠️ Improvements#

Extended /classifications/v3/ endpoints to support Procurement reports — clients can now look up and map ProcurementIQ reports using standard classification systems alongside industry reports:
/classifications/v3/concordance/reporttosystem and /concordance/systemtoreport — accept Proc as a new value of the existing optional ReportCollection parameter. Procurement matches are returned under a ReportCollection: "Proc" block, using the same envelope as industry collections (COR, SPE, SPO). Combined requests (e.g., ["COR", "Proc"]) return both industry and procurement results in the same response.
Requests that omit Proc from ReportCollection (or omit the parameter entirely) are unaffected — existing industry integrations require no changes.
At this time, Procurement reports are mapped to NAICS-2022-USA only.

📅 June 2026#

✨ New Data#

Added annual and monthly data series to /bed/v3/ endpoints for Producer Price Index (PPI) indicators:
/bed/v3/sections — new monthlydataseries section returns month-level observations (Month, Value, Change) for PPI indicators.
/bed/v3/fullreport — MonthlyDataSeries is now included in the response payload for PPI indicators alongside the existing annual DataSeries returned for BED and PPI profiles.

🆕 New Products#

Added SupplierIQ API (/supplieriq/v3/) — programmatic access to IBISWorld's company-level supplier intelligence for thousands of companies, combining company fundamentals (ownership, leadership, headcount, NAICS), product/service market positioning, and full financial insights (income statement, balance sheet, cash flows, ratios). Covers both public companies and private companies. Three endpoints available:
/supplieriq/v3/reportlist — enumerate all licensed supplier reports for the specified country and language
/supplieriq/v3/updatedreports — identify supplier reports updated within a date range for efficient cache synchronization
/supplieriq/v3/sections — retrieve one or more report sections: generalinformation, productservicemarkets, incomestatement, balancesheet, cashflows, ratios

🛠️ New Endpoints#

Added /procurement/v3/multiplereports — returns one section from multiple Procurement reports in a single request. Designed for portfolio-style use cases such as benchmarking Buyer Power Scores or supply chain risk across a category portfolio. Per-report StatusCode enables partial success; country-gated sections return 204 for reports where the section is not applicable.

📅 May 2026#

✨ New Data#

Added new Company data to /company/v3/ endpoints for the United States (US) and Canada (CA) — see Sections of Industry Report for additional notes.

📅 April 2026#

🛠️ Improvements#

Supported countries: US, CA, EUR, GL. PDF is the only supported format for Procurement (Word and PowerPoint are not produced for this product). Existing Industry download behavior is unchanged.
