📰 API Release Notes
This page highlights new features, fixes, and deprecations across the last 6 months.
📅 September 2026
✨ New Data
businesslocations section of /industry/v3/sections and /industry/v3/fullreport: BusinessLocations now returns two rows per region instead of one — Establishments and Population — where previously only an Estab. row was returned. The array grows from 8 rows to 16. ColumnID and RegionID values also changed for the existing rows, so select by ColumnName and Region/DisplayName rather than position or the old ColumnID/RegionID values.environmentalstatisticaltrends, socialstatisticaltrends, and statisticaltrends sections of /esg/v3/sections, for German (DE) reports only: four additional issues are now tracked — Accidents per 1,000 Employees, Environmental Management System, Environmental Protection Investment, and Water Consumption. statisticaltrends returns 10 issues instead of 6 for DE; AU and UK reports are unaffected.structuralriskcomponentdata, growthriskcomponentdata, and sensitivityriskcomponentdata each gain a trailing summary row (Overall Structural/Growth/Sensitivity Risk Score) in /risk/v3/sections. Row counts go from 7 to 8, 2 to 3, and 4 to 5 respectively. Don't assume a fixed row count, and don't sum all rows as components — skip the new summary row when aggregating.keystatistics, keyratios, and keystatisticinsights widen their year range from 16 years to 27 years, from 2005 to 2031.GDP is a new statistic in keystatistics and segmentbenchmarking. keystatistics now returns six statistics per segment instead of five; segmentbenchmarking returns 90 items instead of 84 (15 statistics for each of 6 segments). GDP is a national figure and is the same for every segment, so each segment lists the other five as Similar in segmentbenchmarking. Read statistics by Name, not position or a fixed count.🛠️ Improvements
Caption/Name value rather than array index:keyratios section: KeyRatios keeps the same 10 captions, reordered — for example, row 0 was Revenue per Employee and is now IVA/ Revenue.highlights section: Highlights rows are reordered.highlights section: renamed existing captions/labels, underlying data unchanged — IVA / Revenue is now IVA/ Revenue, Imports/ Demand is now Imports/ Domestic Demand, and Establishments is now Estab..HTML members are now wrapped in a <p>...</p> tag across all reports. The matching PlainText member is unchanged. If you compare the two members, concatenate several HTML values, or inject the value into your own markup, review that logic. Measured in the following sections: externalimpactsquestions, internalissuesquestions, rolespecificquestions, assistance, currentperformanceanalysis, keysuccessfactors, majormarketsanalysis, productsandservicesanalysis, substitutes, supplierpower, and volatility.keyexternaldrivers section: ContentTags and CountryContentTags now return null where they previously returned an empty string (""). If your code calls a string method on these members or binds them to a non-nullable string, update it to handle null.supplychain section: a linked report's DatePublished now returns midnight (T00:00:00) instead of carrying the original time of day. The date itself is unaffected; only the time component changes.growthriskanalysis now returns the new Risk edition of the growth narrative, rather than analysis from the corresponding Industry report. If you cache or compare this text, expect a one-time change the next time you fetch each report.growthriskcomponentdata: Score is now rounded to two decimal places. The forecast-growth row, which previously returned null for Score, now returns a value.EmployeesPerEstablishment in keyratios is now returned as a whole number. Small segments with fewer than one employee per establishment now return 0, where they previously returned 1 (due to rounding).⚠️ Deprecations
industrystructure section: IndustryStructure.Characteristic no longer includes Diversification or Technology and Systems. The array now returns 15 items instead of 17; the remaining characteristics keep their original order, so select by Characteristic name rather than array position.highlights section: Highlights no longer includes Depreciation / Wages, Profit per Enterprise, Profit, or Profit Margin. The array now returns 21 items instead of 25./risk/v3/ endpoints and MyIBISWorld. Analysis key returns null.📅 August 2026
🛠️ Improvements
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.LastModifiedDate 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
