# API access key management upgrades + company timestamps in Companies API

jobdataapi API v4.26 / API version 1.29

---

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](https://jobdataapi.com/c/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.
