This release introduces improvements to account-level API key management and metadata exposure for company records. The /api/companies/ endpoint now includes created and updated timestamps for each company record, which helps with freshness tracking and downstream sync logic. This change is limited to /api/companies/; nested company objects returned via /api/jobs/ remain unchanged. You can find our updated docs here: Companies API Endpoint Documentation - Response Data Structure

We also expanded API key management in the account dashboard. Users with an API access pro plan or higher can now create and manage up to five API keys, while users on lower plans remain limited to one key. Existing keys are not automatically removed on downgrade, but creating additional keys is blocked once a user exceeds the limit for their current plan. API keys can now have optional labels to make key organization easier across environments and teams. When a label is left empty, the dashboard displays fallback names such as key-1, key-2, and so on for clarity.

The dashboard now supports create, renew, relabel, copy, and delete actions for API keys in one place. To reduce accidental key removal, deletion now includes a confirmation prompt. Download key behavior remains unchanged.
